Sure-Dry Before & After Photos

Before:
A homeowner in Nekoosa had a poured concrete basement wall with a horizontal crack near mid-height and faint diagonal cracks from the corners. After heavy rains the wall showed slight inward bowing—classic signs of lateral soil pressure—and they wanted a non-invasive solution that wouldn’t require exterior excavation.

After:
We reinforced the wall with the CarbonArmor® Wall Reinforcing System—high-strength carbon fiber straps epoxied in vertical runs and locked to the floor system (ArmorLock™ top anchors) for continuous restraint, all installed from the inside with a low-profile finish.

The wall is now stabilized against further inward movement and ready for finishing or paint.

Before:
A homeowner in Nekoosa was getting seepage at the wall–floor (cove) joint after storms and dampness wicking through the lower walls. Some sections of the basement couldn’t be trenched due to finishes and utilities, and the aging pump left them uneasy during power flickers.

After:
We installed WaterGuard® interior perimeter drainage where trenching was feasible to intercept groundwater at the cove joint, and used DryTrak® low-profile baseboard drainage along finished/utility walls where we couldn’t cut the slab. Both drains were tied into a new UltraSump® system with a sealed lid, alarm, and battery backup for dependable pumping through outages.

Now the basement stays clean, dry, and usable year-round—with reliable protection in heavy rains and power interruptions.

Before:
A homeowner in Nekoosa had settlement along the walkway to the front door and at the garage threshold. Toe-stubbing lips formed at panel joints, step heights were uneven at the entry, and the slab in front of the garage dropped enough to leave a gap at the door seal—letting water and road salt creep under the concrete.

After:
We injected PolyLevel® beneath the settled walkway panels and the slab in front of the garage, filling voids and lifting in controlled increments to restore smooth transitions, uniform step heights, and a tight seal at the garage door. Small (penny-size) injection ports were patched for a clean finish.

The approach is now level, safer to use, and pitched to move water away from the home.

After receiving a call from homeowners in Vesper, WI about constant water in their basement. The crew was ready to do some waterproofing. 

First, the Sure-Dry team installed the WaterGuard System around their entire basement. The WaterGuard will remove all water that seeps through their concrete walls. It will then collect in the WaterGuard at the bottom of the floor and be carried to the sump pump to be discharged out.

To then remove water in the center of their basement, we installed the TrenchDrain. This will redirect water that has accumulated on their floor and bring it to their sump pump. 

After a big waterproofing job in their basement, these homeowners couldn't be happier knowing their belongings downstairs are safe. 

Before the project, the homeowner in Vesper, WI was dealing with ongoing water intrusion along several basement walls whenever rain or seasonal snowmelt increased groundwater pressure. Water appeared at the cove joint where the slab meets the wall on some runs and tracked down the face of the foundation on others, leaving damp bands, minor floor puddling, and efflorescence. The existing sump pit was shallow and poorly covered, and there was no continuous interior drainage system to manage hydrostatic pressure around the footing. Over time, the musty odor and visible moisture raised concerns about air quality, potential damage to stored belongings, and the long-term health of the foundation in this Wood County home.

After Sure-Dry completed the work, the basement was protected by a combined WaterGuard® and DryTrak® interior drainage solution, all directed into a new SuperSump® system. WaterGuard was installed along the accessible slab edges at the footing to intercept groundwater before it reached the floor surface, while DryTrak was applied at sections where jackhammering the slab was not practical, allowing wall and cove seepage to be collected along the interior face of the wall. Both drainage systems were tied into a properly sized SuperSump basin with an airtight lid, durable liner, and high-capacity pump designed for reliable sump pump installation in Wisconsin basements, with the discharge routed safely away from the foundation.
The homeowner now has a clean, dry, and healthier basement environment, along with confidence that this interior drainage system basement solution will protect their Vesper, WI home through future storms and snowmelt cycles.
