Before & After Photos

Julie & Brad of Wrightstown, WI noticed a crack in one of their basement walls.  After further inspection, they also noticed that the wall was bowing in.  What was causing this? 

Foundation walls move inward primarily due to expansive soils and hydrostatic pressure on the walls from outside. However, foundation walls may also crack due to many other outside causes, including foundation settlement. Our foundation experts will accurately identify the cause of your home's foundation problems.  In Julie and Brad's case, the wet, expansive soil around the home's foundation was pushing on the wall, causing the bowing and cracking.  

Sure-Dry Basement Systems was able to restore Julie & Brad's piece of mind with their GeoLock Wall Anchor System.  The Supportworks Geo-Lock™ Wall Anchor System permanently stabilizes your basement walls, offering the best opportunity to straighten the walls without the cost and disruption of foundation replacement.  Heavy-duty, galvanized earth anchors are embedded in stable, undisturbed soil outside your foundation wall. Each anchor is connected by a steel rod to a wall plate that provides clamping pressure against the inside of the foundation wall. This method also offers the potential to straighten the wall back to its original position.

At Sure-Dry Basement Systems we can fix foundation issues related to bowing, buckling basement walls of all types. Our wall anchor systems include a 25-year warranty against manufacturing defects, as well as a performance warranty from us.

In Wrightstown, WI, these homeowners had a goal: turn their dark, underused basement into a safe, livable space—and increase their home's property value in the process. The challenge? Their basement didn’t meet building code requirements due to the lack of a proper egress window.

That’s where Sure-Dry came in.

To solve both the safety and resale concerns, our team installed a Rockwell Premier Series Egress Window System, known for its durability, aesthetic appeal, and code-compliance.

Why This Wrightstown Home Needed an Egress Window

Before installation, the basement had:

• A small, outdated window that didn’t allow for safe escape

• Minimal natural light

• No potential for use as a legal bedroom or finished living area

After installation, the space gained:

• A code-compliant emergency exit with a built-in ladder

• A durable, stone-look composite window well

• A clear cover to protect from moisture, debris, and pests

• A flood of natural light that transformed the look and feel of the space

The Result: A Basement That Adds Value

Installing a basement egress window in Wrightstown, WI not only brought this home up to code, but also increased its usable square footage and long-term market appeal. Homes with finished, legal basement bedrooms or family rooms are more attractive to buyers—and this project gave the homeowners the flexibility to use the space however they wanted.
