Before & After Photos

Before

The basement of this Green Bay, WI home needed more natural light and a safer, more functional way to exit in an emergency. Traditional basement windows are often small and positioned high on the foundation wall, limiting both sunlight and accessibility.

Sure-Dry recommended a new egress window to create a larger window opening while improving the overall usability of the basement.

After

Sure-Dry carefully created the new opening through the foundation and installed a complete egress window system. The larger window allows significantly more natural light into the basement while providing an emergency exit designed specifically for below-grade living spaces.

Proper drainage around an egress window is especially important in Northeast Wisconsin, where heavy rainfall, melting snow, and freeze-thaw cycles can expose below-grade window areas to substantial moisture.

The finished installation gives this Green Bay basement a brighter, more open feeling while adding an important safety feature and making the space more suitable for future finished or living areas.

PowerBraces were used in this job to stabilize their basement walls. These walls over time, due to the pressure of the soil on the concrete walls outside, has forced the walls to bow into the home.

Our crew reinforced these walls with 13 PowerBraces. These galvanized steel beams have the power and strength to push the wall back to its original up right position. 

When this Green Bay homeowner first noticed the cracks in their foundation walls getting bigger, they knew they needed a solid, lasting solution. As you can see in the before photo, the situation required urgent expertise. That's where Sure-Dry came in. Our dedicated team used GeoLock Wall Anchor and PowerBrace technology to stabilize and secure the foundation, visible in the after photo. Now, the homeowner enjoys peace of mind, backed by our dedication to providing reliable and long-lasting solutions.

Notice the signs of a failing foundation in Green Bay, WI, such as wall cracks and inward movement. Using our GeoLock Wall Anchor System, we secured and stabilized the foundation. Our skilled technicians installed heavy-duty steel anchors in stable soil, connecting them to wall plates with galvanized steel rods. Once tightened, these special anchors held the wall securely in place, with added capacity to adjust and straighten over time. This installation occurred efficiently within a day, using industry-proven methods to restore the homeowner’s peace of mind and property value.

The block foundation walls of this home in Green Bay, WI were cracked and bowing inward due hydrostatic pressure - pressure from the water in the soil surrounding the home's foundation.  

To fix the issue, Sure-Dry installed their PowerBrace™ Wall Repair System. 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.

If you have walls that are bowing, buckling, or tilting inwards, installing a PowerBrace system can stop any further damage and potentially straighten the wall.
