Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This basement in Woodruff had standing water from an old sump pump that wasn't working correctly. Our team inspected his home and confirmed that the current sump pump was inadequate and needed to be replaced. Also, the home needed to have a water control system installed which would help ensure that all water was directed into the pump and out of the house. The Sure-Dry team installed  WaterGuard perimeter French drain system, Drain tile, and a TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System. The TripleSafe Sump Pump System provides three levels of protection for your basement and your peace of mind. An IceGuard® Discharge Line System was also installed to ensure the discharge lines didn't freeze and back up in the winter.

Before:
A homeowner in Ripon, WI was dealing with water seeping along the basement perimeter during heavy rains. The finished floor showed damp spots near the baseboards, and small cracks along the cove joint allowed moisture to creep in from hydrostatic pressure beneath the slab. The existing sump system was undersized and frequently overwhelmed, leaving the basement musty and unusable after storms.

After:
To create a permanent solution, our team installed a DryTrak® baseboard drainage system around the basement’s interior perimeter to collect seepage and channel it directly to a new SuperSump® Premier Sump System. The sealed SuperSump liner and high-performance pump provide reliable removal of groundwater while keeping moisture and odors sealed below the lid.

Now, the Ripon basement stays dry and protected—even after the heaviest rainfall—restoring full use of the space with a clean, low-profile waterproofing system.

A homeowner in Waupun, WI was dealing with a chronically wet basement. After heavy rain, water entered along the cove joint where the floor met the wall, pooling several feet into the space. The block foundation showed signs of seepage and mineral staining, and the existing sump system could not keep up—leaving standing water and damp air that threatened storage and air quality.

After:
To solve the problem and keep the basement dry year-round, our team installed a full WaterGuard® perimeter drainage system along the footing to capture groundwater before it reached the floor surface. A new UltraSump® system was set in a sealed liner with IceGuard® and a buried discharge line to ensure reliable pumping even in freezing conditions. Finally, a CleanSpace® wall system was applied to direct moisture into the drain and create a bright, clean finish.

Now, the Waupun basement remains dry, protected, and ready for safe use—no matter the season.

Before

The homeowners in Waupun, WI were faced with the difficult task of completely gutting their finished basement after ongoing water intrusion caused extensive damage. Before investing in rebuilding the space, they wanted to make sure the source of the problem was permanently addressed. During our inspection, we found evidence of water entering along the wall-floor joint (cove joint), along with moisture affecting the lower portions of the foundation walls. These are common signs of hydrostatic pressure in Wisconsin homes, where changing groundwater levels and freeze-thaw cycles place constant pressure against basement foundations. Our recommendation was to waterproof the basement first, ensuring the remodeled space would be protected for years to come.

After

Our production team installed a complete waterproofing solution designed specifically for the finished basement. The DryTrak Baseboard Drain Pipe System was installed along the affected walls to capture water seepage and direct it safely to a new TripleSafe Sump Pump System. To further protect the space, the exposed foundation walls were covered with the CleanSpace Wall Vapor Barrier System, helping channel wall moisture directly into the drainage system while creating a clean surface ready for remodeling. With the waterproofing complete before reconstruction began, the homeowners can confidently rebuild their basement knowing it is protected by a permanent water management system.

Before

A homeowner in Waupun, WI was experiencing ongoing water intrusion in their partially finished basement, threatening both the finished living space and the unfinished storage areas. Signs of moisture were visible along the wall-floor joint, and concerns about future water damage prompted the homeowner to seek a permanent solution. During our inspection, we identified hydrostatic pressure forcing groundwater into the basement through the cove joint and foundation walls—a common issue in Wisconsin due to fluctuating groundwater levels and freeze-thaw cycles. Because portions of the basement were already finished, it was important to install a system that would protect the home while minimizing future risk to the finished areas.

After

Our production team installed a comprehensive basement waterproofing system tailored to the home's unique layout. A full perimeter of WaterGuard Drainage System was installed to capture groundwater before it reached the basement floor. Water is directed to a new SuperSump Premier Sump Pump System, while a separate TripleSafe Sump Pump System provides additional pumping capacity and backup protection in another area of the basement. Portions of the foundation walls were covered with the CleanSpace Wall Vapor Barrier System to help direct wall moisture into the drainage system, and RimTight Rim Joist Insulation System was installed to seal air leaks around the rim joists, improving comfort and energy efficiency. The homeowner now has a dry, protected basement with a waterproofing system designed to safeguard both the finished and unfinished portions of the home.
