Before & After Photos

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.

Before:
A homeowner in Belgium, WI, was looking to install an egress window in their basement to add more natural light and meet safety code requirements for a planned living area. The existing basement windows were small and offered little light or ventilation, making the space dark and unsuitable for regular use. The homeowner wanted a bright, safe, and code-compliant solution that would enhance the comfort and usability of their basement.

After:
Sure-Dry’s crew excavated the area and installed a new egress window system, including a large, energy-efficient window, a durable window well, and a clear cover designed to keep out debris and direct water away from the foundation. The system was carefully sealed and graded to ensure proper drainage and long-term durability. The finished result provided abundant natural light, improved airflow, and a safe emergency exit that meets all modern building codes.

The homeowner was thrilled with how much brighter and more open their basement felt, knowing the new window also added safety and value to their home.

Your home is a system, and every part of that system plays a role that affects the rest of the structure. If your crawl space begins to rot, grow mold, or experience structural problems, this will extend to every part of your home. 

This crawl space in Gillett, WI had major issues.  Moisture in the crawl space was creating mold and causing structural issues to the floor joists and existing crawl space supports.  

Sure-Dry Basement Systems was able to restore this crawl space to a safe, clean and healthy space with their CleanSpace® Crawl Space Vapor Barrier and SmartJack® Crawl Space Stabilizer system.  

The CleanSpace® Crawl Space Vapor Barrier is a durable, bright white crawl space liner that installs on the walls and floors, preventing water vapor and humidity from passing through. By keeping your crawl space dry, you protect your structure and insulation from mold and rot.

The SmartJack® Crawl Space Stabilizer system is an adjustable supplemental support system used for sagging crawl spaces.  It not only provides supplemental support to your failing structure -- it can also often lift failing floor joists or beams, restoring them to their original position.
