Sure-Dry Before & After Photos

Before
Before the project, the homeowner in Harshaw, WI was experiencing seasonal water seepage along the basement perimeter whenever heavy rain or rapid snowmelt occurred. Water showed up at the cove joint where the floor meets the wall, leaving damp bands along the slab, minor pooling in low spots, and efflorescence on the concrete. The existing sump pump setup was a basic pit with no continuous interior drain tile, so hydrostatic pressure beneath the slab simply forced groundwater up at the weakest points. Over time, the musty odor and visible moisture made the homeowner concerned about stored belongings, air quality, and the potential for future finishing of the space.

After
After Sure-Dry completed the work, the basement was protected by a WaterGuard® interior drainage system installed along the affected walls at the footing to intercept groundwater before it can reach the floor surface. The WaterGuard system, with its wall flange to capture wall and cove seepage, was routed directly into a new SuperSump® system featuring a durable liner, airtight lid, and high-capacity pump designed for reliable sump pump installation in Wisconsin basements. The crew tied the discharge into a properly routed line to carry water safely away from the foundation and carefully re-poured concrete over the trench, restoring a clean, finished floor edge while providing a long-term interior drainage solution for this Harshaw, WI home.
The homeowner now has a dry, healthier basement environment and confidence that this basement waterproofing system will keep their Northwoods home protected through future storms and snowmelt cycles.

In Berlin, WI homeowners noticed their basement walls were bowing forward. 

Our team came out and installed 9 GeoLocks. These GeoLocks use the hard compacted soil outside to pull/hold the wall in place so no further bowing takes place. 

Before:
A homeowner in Berlin noticed a horizontal crack forming through the middle of a basement wall with sections bowing inward. Seasonal soil pressure and saturated clay soils were worsening the movement, raising concerns about long-term stability and safety.

After:
We installed the GeoLock® Wall Anchor System, connecting heavy-duty interior wall plates to galvanized earth anchors set in stable soil outside. The system immediately stabilizes the wall and allows for periodic tightening to help straighten it over time—with minimal excavation at each anchor location.

The foundation is now secure against further inward movement, and the homeowner has a proven path to improve wall alignment over the seasons.

Before:
A homeowner in Berlin noticed recurring water along the wall–floor joint after storms. Puddles formed near storage areas, musty odors lingered, and their old sump setup left them anxious during power outages.

After:
We installed WaterGuard® interior perimeter drainage to capture seepage at the cove joint and direct it into an UltraSump® battery-backup pumping system for reliable removal—even if the power goes out.

Now the basement stays dry and usable year-round, with extra peace of mind during severe weather.

Before:
A homeowner in Berlin had settled driveway and walkway slabs with open joints and cracks. The uneven surfaces created trip hazards and allowed water to seep between slabs, causing pooling near the garage and accelerating freeze–thaw damage.

After:
We injected PolyLevel® beneath the settled slabs to fill voids and gently lift them back to a level, properly pitched position. We then sealed control joints and cracks with NexusPro®, a flexible, UV-resistant sealant (installed over backer where needed) and finished with color-match sand for a clean look.

The concrete is now level, safer to walk and drive on, and better protected against water intrusion and freeze–thaw cycles.
