Before
In Wausau, WI, the homeowner wanted to transform their unfinished basement into a comfortable living area but discovered that the existing windows were too small to meet egress code for safe emergency exit. The basement’s concrete foundation walls and high exterior grade made it difficult to add a properly sized window without specialized excavation and drainage planning. During the inspection, Sure-Dry’s System Design Specialist confirmed that installing a new egress window system would not only meet Wisconsin safety requirements but also bring more natural light and airflow into the basement.

After
Sure-Dry’s experienced installation crew excavated the foundation wall area, maintaining soil stability and protecting the existing waterproofing system. A clean, code-compliant opening was cut into the wall, and an insulated egress window was installed along with a reinforced, corrosion-resistant window well featuring an integrated drain connected to the home’s sump system. After sealing, backfilling, and regrading the exterior, the finished system provided both safety and functionality.
The homeowner now enjoys a bright, secure, and fully code-approved basement space that’s ready to be finished.

Before:
A homeowner in Wausau, WI, began noticing moisture collecting along the perimeter of their basement and damp staining on the lower sections of the walls after heavy rainfall. While the seepage was not severe, the consistent dampness created musty odors and made the space unsuitable for storage. The homeowner wanted a complete, long-term solution to keep both the walls and floor dry and protected from future water intrusion.

After:
Sure-Dry installed a comprehensive waterproofing system featuring the WaterGuard® Interior Drainage System, SuperSump® sump pump, and CleanSpace® Wall System. The WaterGuard channels groundwater seepage along the footing into the SuperSump, which efficiently removes it from the home. The CleanSpace Wall System—a durable, vapor-barrier liner—was applied to the basement walls to stop moisture and direct any wall seepage into the drainage system.
Together, these systems transformed the basement into a clean, dry, and bright space, ensuring lasting protection against humidity, water damage, and wall staining.

Before:
A homeowner in Wausau, WI, noticed that water was seeping along the basement floor after heavy rain, leaving damp spots and musty odors near the walls. Although the problem wasn’t yet severe, the consistent moisture made the space uncomfortable and unsuitable for storage. The homeowner wanted a permanent, reliable system to collect and remove any incoming water before it could cause damage.

After:
Sure-Dry installed a WaterGuard® Interior Drainage System along the perimeter of the basement to capture groundwater and direct it to a newly installed SuperSump® system. The SuperSump efficiently pumps collected water out of the home, protecting the foundation and keeping the basement consistently dry.
This complete waterproofing system now provides the homeowner with year-round protection against seepage, creating a clean, dry, and usable basement space.
