Before & After Photos

Before

The homeowner in Marinette, WI had started remodeling their basement with plans to create additional living space, but those plans quickly changed when water intrusion damaged much of the finished area. After removing drywall, flooring, and other water-damaged materials, they wanted to address the underlying issues before rebuilding. During our inspection, we found groundwater entering along the wall-floor joint (cove joint) and identified weakened floor support that required additional structural reinforcement. These conditions are common in Wisconsin basements, where hydrostatic pressure and seasonal freeze-thaw cycles can lead to both water intrusion and settling beneath the home. Rather than rebuilding over existing problems, the homeowner chose to invest in permanent waterproofing and structural support first.

After

Our production team installed the WaterGuard Drainage System around the interior perimeter to capture groundwater before it reached the basement floor and direct it into a new SuperSump Premier Sump Pump System for reliable water removal. To restore proper support beneath the home, we also installed the SmartJack Structural Support System, permanently stabilizing the floor system above. With the waterproofing and structural repairs complete, the homeowners can confidently move forward with remodeling their basement, knowing the foundation has been properly protected from future water intrusion and floor settlement.

Before

The homeowner in Marinette, WI began noticing signs that their floors were no longer as solid as they once were. Uneven floors and reduced support beneath the home raised concerns about the structural integrity of the floor system. During our inspection, our crawl space repair specialist found weakened floor supports that were allowing sections of the floor above to settle. These conditions are common in Wisconsin homes where aging support systems, moisture, and natural settling can reduce the strength of the crawl space structure over time. To restore stability, we recommended a permanent structural support solution.

After

Our crew installed the SmartJack Structural Support System beneath the home's floor framing to provide permanent support where it was needed most. Each SmartJack was carefully positioned and adjusted to stabilize the floor system and help restore proper support. Engineered for long-term performance, the SmartJack system is designed to resist future settlement while providing homeowners with greater confidence in the strength and stability of their home. The homeowner now has a solid foundation beneath their floors and peace of mind knowing the structural concerns have been professionally addressed.

Tammy S. of Forestville, WI was experiencing water pooling in her basement and noticed that the water was coming in between the footing and foundation walls.  Along with water coming in, she was concerned about some small cracks she was noticing in the basement walls as well.  Tammy was planning to remodel her basement, but needed a professional to take care of these issues first. 

To take care of the water coming in, we installed our patented WaterGuard system.  WaterGuard takes the traditional interior drainage system to the next level by using a wall flange that allows seepage to enter the drain and collects water off the walls to easily funnel it away from the foundation. WaterGuard also prevents debris from entering the drainage area and provide a clean finished appearance on your floor.

To address the cracks in the basement walls, we installed our CleanSpace Wall Vapor Barrier System. Our CleanSpace® Wall System holds back water vapor passing through your foundation walls, directing it to your sump pump. With anti-microbial protection called UltraFresh built right in, no mold or mildew will grow on the CleanSpace!

We're proud to deliver a dependable fix, ensuring a comfortable and functional home environment.

Before:
A homeowner in Appleton, WI, wanted to transform their dark basement into a bright, livable space that met all safety code requirements. The existing windows were small and outdated, providing minimal natural light and no safe way to exit in an emergency. The homeowner wanted a clean, professional installation that would improve both the look and safety of their basement while maintaining proper drainage around the foundation.

After:
Sure-Dry’s team excavated the area outside the foundation and installed a complete egress window system, featuring a large, code-compliant window, a strong window well, and a clear cover to prevent water and debris buildup. The crew added drainage stone at the base of the well to ensure proper water management and long-term durability. The finished installation flooded the basement with natural light, improved airflow, and provided a safe, accessible emergency exit.

The homeowner was thrilled with the transformation, noting how much brighter and more comfortable their basement feels now that it’s code-compliant and ready for everyday use.
