Before: Old, Drafty, and Damaged Windows

This Kimberly home had old, rusted basement windows that were no longer doing their job. They were drafty, difficult to open, and leaking cold air and moisture into the basement—making the space uncomfortable and inefficient.

After: Bright, Clean & Maintenance-Free

We replaced the old units with EverLast™ Basement Windows, designed to provide energy efficiency, security, and natural light—without rust, rot, or maintenance. The clean, modern look instantly improved the feel of the basement and helped better protect the home from moisture and air leaks.

One simple upgrade. Big difference.

Before

A homeowner in Kimberly, WI wanted to improve the safety and functionality of their basement by adding an egress window. The existing basement lacked a code-compliant emergency escape opening, limiting future living space options and reducing the amount of natural light entering the lower level. Installing an egress window provides an essential emergency exit while also making a basement feel brighter, more open, and more inviting.

After

Sure-Dry installed a new Egress Window, carefully excavating outside the foundation before cutting a precise opening in the concrete wall. The new window and window well were professionally installed to provide a safe, code-compliant emergency escape while allowing significantly more natural light and fresh air into the basement. The completed installation enhanced both the safety and value of the home, giving the homeowner greater flexibility to use the basement as finished living space or a future bedroom.

Before

A homeowner in Kimberly, WI noticed a foundation wall in their bi-level home had developed inward movement and horizontal cracking due to pressure from the surrounding soil. Because the affected wall was partially below grade with windows positioned along it, the repair required careful planning. In addition, a concrete patio outside the home had to be excavated to access the foundation and properly install the exterior components of the repair system. Left untreated, bowing foundation walls can continue to worsen as Wisconsin's expansive soils and freeze-thaw cycles place increasing pressure against the home.

After

Sure-Dry permanently stabilized the foundation using the GeoLock Wall Anchor System. Our crew carefully excavated through the existing concrete patio to reach stable soil for the earth anchors before installing the interior anchor plates directly beneath the basement windows. Once connected with galvanized steel anchor rods, the system was tightened to immediately stabilize the wall and can often be adjusted over time to help straighten it. The homeowner now has a permanently reinforced foundation without the need for a full wall replacement.

Before

A homeowner in Kimberly, WI wanted to make better use of their basement by adding a code-compliant emergency escape window. The existing basement had limited natural light and no safe exit in the event of an emergency, restricting the space from being used as a future bedroom or finished living area. Installing an egress window is one of the best ways to improve both the safety and functionality of a basement while increasing a home's value.

After

Sure-Dry installed a new Egress Window by carefully excavating outside the foundation, cutting a precise opening through the concrete wall, and installing a new window, window well, and proper drainage system. The completed installation provides a code-compliant emergency escape route while allowing abundant natural light and fresh air into the basement. The homeowner now has a brighter, safer, and more versatile living space with the confidence that the installation was completed with long-term waterproofing in mind.

Before

A homeowner in Kimberly, WI noticed one of their basement foundation walls had begun bowing inward and developing horizontal cracks due to years of pressure from the surrounding soil. As the wall continued to move, the homeowner became concerned about the structural integrity of the foundation and wanted to address the problem before more extensive repairs became necessary. In Wisconsin, expansive clay soils, saturated ground conditions, and repeated freeze-thaw cycles commonly place significant lateral pressure against foundation walls, leading to inward movement over time.

After

Sure-Dry permanently stabilized the failing wall using the GeoLock Wall Anchor System. Earth anchors were installed in stable soil away from the foundation and connected to heavy-duty galvanized steel anchor rods and interior wall plates. The system immediately stopped further inward movement and is designed to allow for gradual tightening over time, which may help improve wall alignment as soil conditions permit. The homeowner now has a permanently reinforced foundation with a solution that protects the structural integrity of the home for years to come.
