Complete Water Control in Packwaukee, WI

Challenge

This home in Packwaukee, WI had the full spectrum of water problems in their basement. Hydrostatice pressure from the wet soil surrounding the home's foundation was pushing water into the basement from the basement walls. With no system in place to collect and drain the water, the water was pooling in the basement and causing damage.

Solution

To collect and drain the water coming from the walls, Sure-Dry Basement Systems installed their WaterGuard® system. The WaterGuard® 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.

To trap the water coming in from the walls and direct it to the WaterGuard® system, Sure-Dry installed their BrightWall® basement wall panels. BrightWall® is 100% waterproof and washable, and it creates a vapor barrier on your basement walls to block out water vapor and humidity. This ensures that you won't have to worry about mold growth or rot.

Finally, to collect and discharge the water being collected and drained by the WaterGuard and BrightWall systems, Sure-Dry installed their SuperSump® Premier Pump System. It is engineered to help keep the basement dry and healthy for extended periods of time, even in times of heavy water intrusion.
