Sure-Dry Before & After Photos

Before:
A homeowner in Birnamwood, WI, contacted Sure-Dry after discovering moisture seeping into their basement along the wall-floor joint. Over time, small damp spots began forming after heavy rainfall, signaling that groundwater pressure was building beneath the slab. The homeowner wanted a reliable waterproofing solution that would permanently control seepage and prevent future damage.

After:
Sure-Dry installed a combination waterproofing system featuring DryTrak®, WaterGuard®, and a SuperSump® sump pump. The WaterGuard® Interior Drainage System was installed along the accessible sections of the basement perimeter to capture water at the cove joint, while DryTrak Baseboard Drain was applied along areas where cutting into the concrete floor wasn’t practical. Both systems were directed to the SuperSump, which efficiently removes collected water and discharges it safely away from the home.
Together, these components provide complete, year-round protection—keeping the basement dry and safeguarding the foundation from moisture damage.

Before:
In Birnamwood, WI, a homeowner noticed a basement wall beginning to bow inward, with a long horizontal crack forming through the center of the block. Shawano County’s clay-heavy soils expand during wet seasons and freeze–thaw cycles, pushing laterally against below-grade walls. As the pressure increased, the wall developed widening mortar-joint separation, inward deflection, and difficulty opening a nearby interior door — classic signs of active foundation movement driven by soil expansion.

After:
Sure-Dry installed the PowerBrace™ system to stabilize the failing wall and halt further inward movement. Each steel beam was laser-aligned, secured to the slab and floor-joist system, and torque-adjusted to apply controlled corrective pressure. The anchors were verified for proper engagement before final tightening.
The wall is now fully supported, with the option for gradual adjustment over time — a long-term stabilization solution ideal for Central Wisconsin’s moisture-responsive soils.

In this Birnamwood, WI home, years of persistent water intrusion left the basement vulnerable and unenjoyable. Notice in the photo how our proficient Sure-Dry team turned the problem into a source of pride for the homeowner. We installed the trusted WaterGuard drainage system partnered with a durable CleanSpace encapsulation.
