Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Before:
A homeowner in Wisconsin Rapids, WI, noticed that water was seeping along the basement floor where the walls meet the slab, especially after heavy rainfall. While the home already had a sump pump pit in place, the existing setup wasn’t able to effectively collect or manage water entering around the perimeter. The homeowner wanted a system that would connect to the current sump and ensure full basement drainage protection.

After:
Sure-Dry installed a WaterGuard® Interior Drainage System along the basement perimeter to capture groundwater before it reached the floor surface. The new system was seamlessly tied into the homeowner’s existing sump pump pit, allowing collected water to flow directly into the sump for safe discharge outside.
With the WaterGuard system in place, the basement now stays completely dry, eliminating standing water and protecting the foundation from long-term moisture damage.

The basement of this home in Wisconsin Rapids was wet.  The saturated soil surrounding the home's foundation was putting hydrostatic pressure on the basement walls, and since water finds the path of least resistance, it was finding its way into the basement through cracks in wall and between the foundation's walls and footing.  

To permanently protect the basement from the intruding water, Sure-Dry installed their WaterGuard® system. The WaterGuard system collects water that seeps through basement walls and drains it to your sump pump. The system installs quickly and has a clean finished appearance, meaning you don't have to worry about having an unsightly drain around the basement.

To drain the water being collected by the WaterGuard system, Sure-Dry installed their TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System.  The TripleSafe Sump Pump System provides three levels of protection for your basement and your peace of mind.

With occasional water issues happening, we installed the SuperSump pump to this homeowners basement. This sump pump was the best fit for their needs. It can discharge 2,200 gallons of water per hour and best yet will keep their basement dry! 

WaterGuard and Bleeder Lines were installed at customer's home to prevent water from flooding their basement.

Before: Basement Water Threatens Long-Term Use

A homeowner in Ogema, WI reached out to Sure-Dry after years of dealing with a wet basement. Rainstorms would cause water to leak in around the perimeter of the foundation, leaving the floor damp and musty. Without a sump pump or internal drainage system in place, the basement had become unusable—and the threat of water damage was only increasing.

The homeowner also worried about where water would go if a sump pump was installed. Their property sloped slightly toward the home, which made exterior discharge a key concern.

After: A Dry Basement and Smart Discharge Solution

Sure-Dry installed a full basement waterproofing system that included:

• WaterGuard® Interior Drainage along the perimeter of the basement

• A high-capacity UltraSump® Battery Backup System to ensure pumping even during power outages

• A buried discharge line that moved water safely away from the home’s foundation

This triple-solution approach provided:

• Immediate removal of water before it could reach the interior floor

• Peace of mind during storms or outages

• A cleaner, drier, and usable basement space

The buried discharge line included a lawn-safe outlet with an anti-freeze design, making the system both effective and discreet.
