Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Water worries in Bancroft? Not anymore! As you can see in our recent transformation, we came across a basement plagued by water leakage - a common headache for homeowners in the area. Our solution? WaterGuard. This innovative product ensures that leaks are a thing of the past, directing water out and away from this previously damp space. Notice in the photo how the basement has been seamlessly preserved, guaranteeing our customer a dry, worry-free future down under. Our team at Sure-Dry is proud to turn uncertainties into undeniable peace of mind, staying true to our mission of providing a remarkable customer experience paired with reliable results.

Before:
A homeowner in Marathon was seeing water along the wall–floor (cove) joint after storms. Musty odors lingered, the old pump felt unreliable during power flickers, and the above-grade discharge line risked freezing and backing water into the basement.

After:
We installed WaterGuard® interior perimeter drainage to capture seepage at the cove joint and route it to a new UltraSump® system with a sealed lid, alarm, and battery backup for outages. Outside, we added IceGuard® freeze-protection fittings and trenched a buried discharge line to carry water safely away from the foundation with a clean, low-profile finish.

Now the basement stays dry and usable year-round with dependable pumping and freeze-resistant discharge.

IceGuard Discharge Line System installed on this home in Plover to ensure that any water being pumped outside from their sump pump won't freeze and cause water to back up during the cold winter months. 

Sump pump discharge lines are fed outside the home, meaning it's possible they could freeze during the cold winter months. A backed-up discharge line means your sump pump won't work properly in the event of water in your basement, which will make the flooding much worse. Our solution to this problem is the IceGuard® discharge line system.

The IceGuard® fits over the top of your discharge line to provide water with a secondary escape route. When the main line is working correctly, water simply flows out as usual. However, when the discharge line is frozen, the IceGuard® allows water to escape through slotted openings in the drain pipe. This ensures that any water your sump pump is removing from your basement is safely cleared away outside your home, preventing any backed-up or frozen lines. The IceGuard® is compatible with all our sump pump systems.

When the homeowners in Plover, WI, discovered cracks in their basement walls letting in water, they knew they needed a solid fix. As you can see in the 'before' photo, water seepage had begun to take its toll. Stepping in to help, our team installed FlexiSpan to effectively seal the cracks, WaterGuard to ensure proper drainage, and then a  SuperSump to pump out any intruding water. (The after photo shows wet concrete that was curing following WaterGuard installation.)

Before:
A homeowner in Plover saw water appearing along the wall–floor (cove) joint after storms. Puddles threatened storage, a musty odor lingered, and there was concern about both power outages and winter freeze-ups blocking the discharge line.

After:
We installed WaterGuard® interior perimeter drainage to intercept seepage and direct it to a TripleSafe® sump pump system for primary, secondary, and battery-backup protection. Outside, we added IceGuard® freeze-protection fittings on the discharge to prevent backups if the line ices up.

Now the basement stays clean, dry, and reliable through heavy rains and freezing Wisconsin winters.
