Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

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.

This home in Wittenberg, WI had an old sump pump that they no longer trusted to keep up with how much water was coming into the basement. They wanted a system installed that would give them ultimate piece of mind that however much water was coming in, the sump system would have no problem draining the water out of the home.

To provide these homeowners with the piece of mind they were seeking, 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!

Before:
A homeowner in Lake Tomahawk, WI, reached out to Sure-Dry to install a sump pump system as a preventative measure against future water issues. Although the basement had not experienced flooding, seasonal snowmelt and heavy rainfall in the area made the homeowner concerned about potential groundwater seepage. The goal was to protect the home’s foundation and maintain a consistently dry basement environment year-round.

After:
Sure-Dry installed a SuperSump® sump pump system to provide reliable, long-term groundwater control. The team excavated a sump basin in the ideal location, fitted it with a high-performance pump, and routed the discharge line to carry water safely away from the foundation.
With the SuperSump in place, the homeowner now has dependable protection against water intrusion and peace of mind knowing the basement is prepared for changing weather conditions and seasonal moisture.

Before:
A homeowner in Weyauwega was dealing with seepage along the wall–floor edge after storms and moisture wicking through porous basement walls. The space stayed damp and musty, but trenching the slab wasn’t an option due to finishes and utilities.

After:
We installed DryTrak® baseboard drainage to collect cove-joint and wall seepage without jackhammering, finished the walls with the CleanSpace® Wall System to block vapor and direct moisture into DryTrak, upgraded pumping to UltraSump® with a sealed lid, alarm, and battery backup, and added a SaniDry™ Sedona® dehumidifier set to maintain ~45–50% RH with a dedicated drain.

Now the basement stays clean, dry, and comfortable—with reliable pumping during outages and controlled humidity for better air quality.

Water was finding its way into the basement of this home in Boulder Junction, WI, and the homeowners had no system in place to collect and drain the water out and away from the home.  

To solve these homeowner's water issues, Sure-Dry Basement Systems installed their WaterGuard® interior drainage system along with their SuperSump® Premier Pump System.

The WaterGuard interior drainage 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. WaterGuard works for both block walls and poured concrete, ensuring that your basement remains dry in all situations. This product also comes with a written warranty.

The SuperSump Premier Pump System is engineered to help keep the basement dry and healthy for extended periods of time, even in times of heavy water intrusion. The SuperSump includes a powerful Zoeller® ⅓ horsepower cast-iron sump pump, capable of pumping 2,220 gallons of water per hour at an 8-foot head out of your basement.
