Before & After Photos

Before:
A homeowner in Port Washington, WI was dealing with settlement in the concrete patio near their entrance and along the garage apron. Seasonal freeze–thaw cycles and lake-influenced moisture had caused several slabs to sink and shift, creating uneven surfaces, trip hazards, and poor drainage toward the home. Open joints and cracks were allowing water to wash out soils beneath the concrete, worsening the settlement over time.
After:
Sure-Dry lifted the sunken patio and garage apron slabs using PolyLevel® to restore proper height and eliminate trip hazards. After lifting, joints and cracks were sealed with NexusPro®, preventing water infiltration and protecting the slabs from future soil erosion.
The patio and garage apron are now level, stabilized, and fully sealed for long-term durability.

Before

The homeowner in Port Washington, WI had a damp, unprotected crawl space that was allowing excess ground moisture and humid air to collect beneath the home. The moisture had created musty odors, elevated humidity levels, and conditions that could eventually impact indoor air quality and the structural components above. With southeastern Wisconsin's changing groundwater levels and seasonal humidity, the homeowner wanted a permanent crawl space repair solution rather than a temporary fix.

After

Our team performed a complete crawl space encapsulation by installing the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System across the crawl space floor and foundation walls to isolate the home from ground moisture. To further improve energy efficiency and air sealing, we installed RimTight insulation around the rim joists, helping reduce outside air infiltration and moisture intrusion. Because groundwater intrusion was also a concern, we installed a SmartSump Crawl Space Sump Pump System to automatically collect and discharge water before it could accumulate beneath the home. The homeowner now has a cleaner, drier crawl space with improved moisture control and greater protection for the home above.

Notice the signs of water damage evident in the "before" photo from this Mountain, WI basement. This homeowner had periodic water issues, threatening their basement's safety and utility. Sure-Dry installed our TripleSafe™ Sump Pump and WaterGuard® systems to provide the necessary protection. In the "after" photo, see how the once-damp space now showcases a dry, secure basement, ready for any use! Our effective TripleSafe system and WaterGuard perimeter drainage ensure peace of mind with reliable moisture management, safeguarding this home's foundation today and in the future.

In Mountain, WI, this homeowner faced challenges with an unusable crawl space that emitted a damp, musty smell, potentially affecting living areas above. In the before photo, note the moisture issues characteristic of vented, unsealed spaces. Our solution was to expertly encapsulate the space using CleanSpace, providing a dry, clean, and mold-resistant environment. Additionally, RimTight was installed to insulate and seal the rim joists, preventing unconditioned air infiltration. As seen in the after photo, these industry-leading products transformed the crawl space into a protected, fresh area that enhances both value and comfort.

Building codes require that finished basement living areas have an emergency egress - an egress window large enough to allow safe exit out of the space in case of an emergency. A large window well with a step in it must also be used outside the egress window.

Here at Sure-Dry Basement Systems, we are certified installers of egress window wells. In addition to providing a safe exit, our egress windows allow more natural light and fresh air into the basement to make the space feel larger and more inviting.

This is an example of an egress window we installed in Belgium, WI.
