Before & After Photos

Before
In Schofield, WI, the homeowners wanted to convert their basement into a safe and livable space but were limited by small, non-compliant windows that did not meet egress code. The foundation was poured concrete, and the proposed installation wall was located near existing utilities and drainage piping, requiring precise excavation and cutting to avoid disruption. During the inspection, Sure-Dry’s System Design Specialist determined that installing a properly sized egress window would create a safe emergency exit, improve lighting, and ensure compliance with Wisconsin building code.

After
Sure-Dry’s installation crew began by carefully excavating the exterior area beside the foundation, protecting nearby utilities and ensuring stable soil retention. A clean, code-compliant opening was cut into the wall, and a thermally efficient egress window was installed with a reinforced window well featuring an integrated ladder and drain line. The drain was tied into the home’s waterproofing system to prevent water buildup, and the surrounding area was backfilled and graded for long-term stability and drainage.
The homeowners were pleased to have a brighter, safer basement that meets all egress code requirements and is now ready for finishing.

Before:
This Schofield, WI homeowner had an existing waterproofing system that performed well, keeping their basement dry during heavy rain and snowmelt. However, the sump discharge line exited near the exterior stairs, creating pooling and icing concerns in winter. The short discharge placement made it difficult to divert water safely away from the foundation and walkway, posing both drainage and safety issues.

After:
The Sure-Dry team installed an IceGuard drainage system to carry water safely away from the home’s foundation and direct it toward a proper drainage area. This underground system prevents freezing and eliminates surface runoff issues near the stairs while maintaining full sump performance.

The result is a clean, efficient discharge setup that protects both the home and the homeowner — ensuring year-round drainage without winter hazards.

A sump pump can be an incredibly valuable resource in your home. When water gets into your basement, the sump pump is what protects you from a flood that could cause expensive property damage, which is exactly what happened to this home in Amherst, WI.  

To protect this home from future flooding and water damage, Sure-Dry Basement Systems installed their TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System.  The TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System provides three levels of protection for your basement and your peace of mind. For normal functioning, the TripleSafe™ has a powerful, cast-iron Zoeller® ⅓ horsepower sump pump set at the lowest level. For heavy volumes of water or in case of primary pump failure, a second, more powerful Zoeller® ½ hp pump set a bit higher in the liner will take over. In case of a power outage, our UltraSump® battery backup sump pump, set at the highest level, will pump 11,500 gallons or more on a fully charged battery!
