Sure-Dry Before & After Photos

To remove the stress of a failed sump pump, our team at Sure-Dry installed the TripleSafe.

This sump pump system has two highly powered pumps that can discharge at a minimum of 5,000 gallons of water in an hour. If those two pumps still can't pump out the water, there is even an additional battery back up pump. 

Before: Constant Water Cleanup, Iron Ochre Problems & Poor Air Quality

In Suamico, WI, this homeowner was at their limit. Iron Ochre buildup was clogging their drainage system, basement water was pooling daily, and they were stuck vacuuming up water twice a day just to stay ahead of the mess. The crawl space was damp, the air was musty, and indoor humidity was affecting the entire home.

With plans to sell in a few years, the homeowner knew they needed a permanent solution—one that would eliminate water issues, improve air quality, and get the basement market-ready.

After: A Waterproofed, Insulated, and Sale-Ready Home

Sure-Dry installed a full waterproofing and indoor air improvement system designed specifically for the challenges of Iron Ochre and basement moisture.

What We Installed:

• WaterGuard® IOS, a special Iron Ochre-resistant interior drainage system that prevents clogs and keeps water flowing

• TripleSafe® Sump Pump System for triple-layer protection against water intrusion

• SuperSump® Pump in a secondary zone for extra coverage

• IceGuard® Discharge Line System to protect against freezing and backups

• SaniDry™ Sedona Dehumidifier to dry out the air and help prevent mold, odors, and allergens

• RimTight™ Joist Insulation to seal off rim joist areas, reduce energy loss, and eliminate another source of moisture and air leakage

• Water heater relocation and reinstallation by our in-house Master Plumber, ensuring seamless integration with the new drainage system

The Result: No More Daily Water Worries

Now, the homeowner no longer has to manually manage water or worry about moisture-related damage. The basement is dry, energy-efficient, and much healthier—and the home is in a strong position for resale in the coming years.

Before:
A homeowner in Suamico, WI was experiencing recurring basement water issues during heavy rains and spring snowmelt. The existing sump system cycled inconsistently, could not keep up during peak groundwater conditions, and offered no backup protection during power outages—a common concern in areas with fluctuating water tables. Rising humidity and damp floor edges confirmed that the home needed a more reliable waterproofing solution.
After:
Sure-Dry installed a TripleSafe™ sump pump system, providing three levels of pumping protection, automatic backup capability, and improved performance during extreme weather. The sealed, airtight basin and high-capacity pump configuration now ensure the basement remains dry even during power loss or high-volume water events.
With the TripleSafe system in place, the homeowner now has a dependable, long-term waterproofing solution for Suamico’s seasonal moisture conditions.

Before:
A homeowner in Suamico, WI had two settling sidewalk sections leading up to their home, creating uneven surfaces and visible trip hazards. Seasonal freeze–thaw cycles and moisture-sensitive soils had caused the slabs to sink at different rates, leaving gaps, tilted panels, and poor drainage along the walkway. The settlement worsened each year as voids formed beneath the concrete.
After:
Sure-Dry lifted and restored both sidewalks using PolyLevel®, injecting the high-density structural foam beneath the settled slabs to raise them back to their original elevation. The material expanded to fill voids and stabilize the soil, creating a smooth, level surface with long-term support that holds up through Wisconsin’s seasonal ground movement.
The walkways are now safer, properly aligned, and visually improved for the homeowner.

Before:
A homeowner in Suamico, WI was dealing with high humidity, musty odors, and cold floors due to an exposed and poorly drained crawl space. Seasonal moisture from clay-loam soils and snowmelt allowed damp air to enter the home, causing insulation deterioration, wood moisture concerns, and discomfort on the main level. The existing sump system in the crawl space was outdated and unreliable during peak groundwater conditions.
After:
Sure-Dry encapsulated the crawl space using CleanSpace® vapor barrier to seal the floor and walls against moisture intrusion. To manage groundwater and prevent standing water, a TripleSafe™ sump pump system was installed, providing three layers of pumping protection with battery backup capability.
The crawl space is now dry, sealed, and protected, improving indoor air quality and comfort throughout the home.
