Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Before:
A homeowner in St. Germain, WI was dealing with seasonal water intrusion that worsened during snowmelt and freezing conditions. Moisture entered along the floor-wall joint, and the existing sump system often failed when the exterior discharge line froze. The basement developed musty odors, and standing water would collect beneath stored items after heavy precipitation.

After:
Sure-Dry installed a new SuperSump® system along with DryTrak® to manage perimeter seepage without requiring trenching through sensitive areas of the slab. An IceGuard® fitting was added to protect against frozen discharge lines, and a buried discharge was installed to move water away from the foundation safely.
The homeowner now has a reliable, freeze-resistant waterproofing system that keeps the basement dry throughout the Northwoods seasons.

Homeowners in Saint Germain, WI were in desperate need of a new sump pump. Over the years, it clearly grew in age and wasn't working like it should. If a major storm occured, they didn't have faith in their sump pump to be able to discharge a significant amount of water. Without hesitation, they called Sure-Dry Basement Systems immediately.

 When we arrived at their home, we installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump. This sump pump has three horse-powered pumps to discharge any amount of water. Which is why the name is "triple safe." Three pumps for your basements safety! 

Homeowners in Delafield, WI gave us a call about turning their crawlspace into an area for extra storage. 

Once our team arrived at their home, we completely encapsulated their crawlspace in our CleanSpace Wall System. This acts as a waterproof liner to keep water completely out. Making their crawlspace a safe area for them to put their belongings. 

The sump pump in the Rhinelander, WI home failed during this year's spring thaw, and resulted in a flooded basement, and causing major damage to the boiler, water heater, and water softener resulting in all three having to be replaced. 

Sure-Dry installed our WaterGuard Drainage System, CleanSpace Wall Vapor Barrier, TripleSafe Sump Pump System, Sedona Dehumidifier, and Aspen Air Purifier to help with Carolyn’s breathing because she is on oxygen. The result is a clean, dry, and healthy basement for Carolyn. Carolyn was very pleased with the end result and does not have to worry about not being able to stay at home.

Before
The homeowner in Rhinelander, WI was dealing with persistent water seepage along the cove joint where the basement floor meets the foundation walls. During heavy rains and spring snowmelt, water entered at the slab edge, creating damp perimeter zones, visible efflorescence, and a musty odor that raised concerns about mold and long-term damage. The existing sump setup was a basic pit with an aging pump and no continuous interior drainage system to collect groundwater from around the footing. As hydrostatic pressure built beneath the slab, water simply followed the path of least resistance into the basement, leaving the homeowner with an unreliable wet basement repair situation common in Wisconsin’s high water table areas.

After
Sure-Dry installed a WaterGuard® interior drainage system along the problem walls, positioning the drainage channel at the footing to capture groundwater before it can reach the finished floor surface. The WaterGuard system, equipped with a wall flange to collect wall and cove seepage, was directed into a new SuperSump® system featuring a durable liner, airtight lid, and a high-capacity pump designed for dependable sump pump installation in Wisconsin basements. Once the drainage components were installed and connected to a properly routed discharge line, the crew re-poured concrete over the trench to restore a clean, continuous floor edge while providing a long-term interior drainage system basement solution for this Rhinelander, WI home.
The homeowner now has a dry, healthier basement environment and confidence that this basement waterproofing system will protect their Oneida County property through future storms and snowmelt cycles.
