Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

The owners of this Tomahawk, WI home were tired of having to constantly deal with a wet basement and having their possessions ruined. To fix these issues, Sure-Dry installed a WaterGuard Drainage System to collect and channel any water entering the basement into their new TripleSafe Sump Pump System which will quickly pump it back out of the home. The homeowners are thrilled to finally have the issues they've been dealing with for years fixed!

Homeowner in Tomahawk, WI realizes his sump pump no longer keeps up with the rainfall. Out with the old, in with the new!

Homeowners in Tomahawk, WI recently called asking for a new sump pump system in their basement.

Our team at Sure-Dry Basement Systems installed the TripleSafe Sump Pump System which is firmly covered so water will not accumulate on the outside of the sump pump, which happened with their previous sump pump.

Before the project, the homeowner in Tomahawk, WI was dealing with recurring water seepage along the cove joint where the basement floor meets the walls, especially during heavy rains and spring snowmelt. Water tracked in along the perimeter slab, leaving damp bands, minor puddling in low spots, and efflorescence on the concrete. The existing sump pit was shallow with an older pump and no continuous interior drainage, so hydrostatic pressure beneath the slab simply forced groundwater to the path of least resistance at the wall-floor joint—typical of wet basement repair needs in Wisconsin’s Northwoods.

After Sure-Dry completed the work, the basement was protected by a WaterGuard® interior drainage system installed along the affected walls at the footing to intercept groundwater before it reaches the floor surface. The WaterGuard channel, set in a drainage stone bed with a wall flange to capture wall and cove seepage, was routed directly into a new SuperSump® sump pump system designed for reliable performance in Wisconsin basements. The crew carefully re-poured concrete over the trench to restore a clean, finished floor edge while providing a long-term WaterGuard interior French drain solution for this Tomahawk, WI home.
The homeowner now has a dry, healthier basement environment and confidence that this basement waterproofing system will protect their Northwoods home through future storms and snowmelt cycles.
