Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Before:
A homeowner in Schofield was dealing with recurring water issues in their basement. Moisture was seeping in along the walls and floor joints, and the space often felt damp with musty odors after heavy rains. The homeowner wanted a dependable solution to keep their basement dry and protect their home’s foundation.

After:

Sure-Dry installed a comprehensive waterproofing system that included WaterGuard® interior drainage to collect and direct water away from the foundation, a SuperSump® pump system to discharge water efficiently, and a CleanSpace® wall liner to create a clean, moisture-resistant surface.

The result was a bright, dry basement ready for safe, long-term use and peace of mind through every season.

Before:
This Schofield, WI homeowner had an existing waterproofing system that performed well, keeping their basement dry during heavy rain and snowmelt. However, the sump discharge line exited near the exterior stairs, creating pooling and icing concerns in winter. The short discharge placement made it difficult to divert water safely away from the foundation and walkway, posing both drainage and safety issues.

After:
The Sure-Dry team installed an IceGuard drainage system to carry water safely away from the home’s foundation and direct it toward a proper drainage area. This underground system prevents freezing and eliminates surface runoff issues near the stairs while maintaining full sump performance.

The result is a clean, efficient discharge setup that protects both the home and the homeowner — ensuring year-round drainage without winter hazards.

Before, our Amherst, WI, homeowner faced frustrating water seepage that left their basement damp and walls stained, compromising comfort and risking property damage. Recognizing the urgent need, especially with in-floor heating upstairs, Sure-Dry stepped in to transform their space. As you can see in the after photo, our team installed a SuperSump pump and DryTrack drainage system, effectively addressing the root causes. Now, they have a fully waterproofed basement, ready to face any storm, ensuring a secure, dry, and comfortable home atmosphere.

A sump pump can be an incredibly valuable resource in your home. When water gets into your basement, the sump pump is what protects you from a flood that could cause expensive property damage, which is exactly what happened to this home in Amherst, WI.  

To protect this home from future flooding and water damage, Sure-Dry Basement Systems installed their TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System.  The TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System provides three levels of protection for your basement and your peace of mind. For normal functioning, the TripleSafe™ has a powerful, cast-iron Zoeller® ⅓ horsepower sump pump set at the lowest level. For heavy volumes of water or in case of primary pump failure, a second, more powerful Zoeller® ½ hp pump set a bit higher in the liner will take over. In case of a power outage, our UltraSump® battery backup sump pump, set at the highest level, will pump 11,500 gallons or more on a fully charged battery!
