Before & After Photos

Before:
A homeowner in Menominee, MI, wanted to make their basement safer and more inviting by installing an egress window. Their existing basement windows were small and outdated, offering little light and no emergency exit. The homeowner planned to use the basement as additional living space and needed a solution that would meet code requirements while improving comfort and appearance.

After:
Sure-Dry’s team excavated the area outside the foundation and installed a new egress window system, including a large, code-compliant window, a durable well, and a clear cover designed to prevent debris and moisture buildup. Drainage stone was placed at the bottom of the well to promote proper water flow away from the foundation. The new window provided ample natural light, increased ventilation, and a secure emergency exit that meets modern building standards.

The homeowner was delighted with the finished result, noting how much brighter and more comfortable the basement felt — and with peace of mind knowing it’s now safe and code-compliant.

Before

The crawlspace beneath this Menominee, MI home had excessive ground moisture, exposed earth, and damp conditions that allowed humidity to build up throughout the year. These conditions can contribute to musty odors, wood deterioration, and poor indoor air quality while making the home more susceptible to moisture-related issues. During our inspection, we found signs of moisture intrusion and recommended encapsulating the crawlspace with the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System along with a SuperSump Premier Sump Pump System to actively manage groundwater entering the crawlspace.

After

Our production team completely encapsulated the crawlspace using the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System, sealing the exposed soil and crawlspace walls to help isolate the home from ground moisture. We also installed a SuperSump Premier Sump Pump System to automatically collect and discharge groundwater away from the foundation. Together, these systems create a cleaner, drier crawl space while helping reduce humidity, protect the home's structural components, and improve the overall health of the home despite Michigan's wet seasons and freeze-thaw conditions.

Before

This homeowner in Menominee, MI had recurring water entering the basement during heavy rains and seasonal snowmelt. Water was making its way along the perimeter of the basement floor, leaving damp areas and raising concerns about moisture damage, musty odors, and mold growth. During our inspection, we identified hydrostatic pressure forcing groundwater into the basement and recommended installing the DryTrak Baseboard Drain Pipe System along with a SuperSump Premier Sump Pump System to permanently manage the water.

After

Our production team installed the DryTrak Baseboard Drain Pipe System around the affected areas of the basement to collect water as it entered along the wall-floor joint and direct it to the newly installed SuperSump Premier Sump Pump System. The SuperSump then automatically pumps the collected groundwater safely away from the home's foundation. Together, these systems provide dependable basement waterproofing while helping protect the home from future water intrusion through Michigan's wet seasons and freeze-thaw cycles.

Before

The homeowner in Menominee, MI had a basement packed with storage, making it difficult to access problem areas while recurring water seepage continued to threaten their belongings. Water was entering where the floor met the foundation walls during heavy rains and seasonal snowmelt, creating damp conditions and putting stored items at risk of damage. During our inspection, we identified hydrostatic pressure as the source of the intrusion and recommended installing the DryTrak Baseboard Drain Pipe System along with a TripleSafe Sump Pump System to permanently collect and remove groundwater from the basement.

After

Our production team installed the DryTrak Baseboard Drain Pipe System around the affected areas of the basement, allowing groundwater to be captured at the wall-floor joint and directed into the newly installed TripleSafe Sump Pump System. DryTrak provided an effective waterproofing solution with minimal disruption to the homeowner's storage-filled basement, while the TripleSafe system offers three levels of protection, including a battery backup pump to continue operating during power outages. The homeowner now has greater confidence that both their basement and stored belongings are protected from future water intrusion.

In Sturgeon Bay, WI homeowners are annoyed with their long pipes hanging around their home. They know they need them because they discharge water out from their pump, but, they know they can't put it underground because otherwise, it will freeze. Out of ideas, they called Sure-Dry Basement Systems to come take care of the problem.

Our crew knew just what to do. We installed our IceGuard System which is extremely handy and good to have. Our IceGuard System fits right on top of their discharge line to provide water a second way out if the main line is frozen. If the main line is frozen when water tries to discharge out it will back up to your pump which will then cause flooding in your basement. But our IceGuard System allows water to escape through slotted openings in the drain pipe. Which then tells you, your mainline needs to be unfrozen. 

Thanks to Sure-Dry, these homeowners now won't have pipes hanging all around their yard and they also know they won't have to worry about their basement flooding because of them being underground.
