Before & After Photos

Before:
A homeowner in Greenville, WI was preparing to remodel their basement but first needed to bring the space up to current safety and egress requirements. The existing basement window was undersized and did not meet escape or rescue code standards. Limited natural light made the basement feel confined, and ventilation was inadequate for a future living space.
After:
Sure-Dry installed a fully code-compliant egress window system by enlarging the wall opening, installing a properly supported window well, and integrating drainage to prevent water buildup. The upgraded window now provides safe emergency exit capability, more natural light, and improved airflow—essential steps before finishing the basement.
The basement is now safer, brighter, and ready for the homeowner’s remodeling project.

Before

A homeowner in Greenville, WI wanted to make their basement safer, brighter, and more functional. The existing basement window was too small to provide the large, accessible emergency exit offered by a properly installed egress window, and limited natural light made the space feel darker and more enclosed.

After

Sure-Dry installed a complete Egress Window System by excavating alongside the foundation, creating the new window opening, and installing the window, durable window well, drainage, and protective cover.

The new egress window provides a safe emergency exit while allowing significantly more natural light and fresh air into the basement. Proper drainage within the window well also helps manage water around the new opening.

To reinforce their bowed basement walls we installed 6 PowerBraces. These braces are made of galvanized steel and will never rust or corrode. Over time they can be adjusted to correct the location of the walls. 

The walls in this basement were bowing in several inches, causing water issues in the basement and wall cracking throughout the home above it. To stabilize the foundation walls and move the walls back to where they're supposed to be, we installed the PowerBrace™ Wall Repair System, which is the ideal way to stabilize failing foundation walls. The PowerBrace consists of steel I-beams that are secured to the joists above the wall with steel brackets. This system is easily adjustable, allowing for tightening of the brace to attempt to raise the wall back to its original position. This system doesn't involve any exterior excavation and installs quickly with minimal disruption to your basement space. 

Before: The basement in this Neenah, WI home was dark and lacked natural light. The homeowners were also concerned about the safety of not having an accessible emergency exit from the basement. They wanted to brighten up the space and ensure their family had a safe way out in case of an emergency.

After: Our team installed a stunning RockWell Egress window well, which instantly transformed the look and feel of the basement. The homeowners chose this well not only for its functionality but also for its beautiful stone appearance. The sophisticated cover, designed to hold several hundred pounds, offers peace of mind while adding a sleek touch to the exterior. The built-in steps add both practicality and charm, making this not just an emergency exit but a design feature. The increased sunlight floods the basement, making the space feel open and inviting, while providing a vital escape route if needed.

The homeowners are thrilled with the results—enjoying both the aesthetic upgrade and the added safety.
