Sure-Dry Before & After Photos

Before A homeowner in Manitowoc, WI experienced significant water intrusion in their finished basement. The water damage was severe enough that the affected finished materials had to be removed and the entire basement remodeled. Groundwater entering along the foundation perimeter had damaged the living space and created persistent moisture and humidity concerns. Before rebuilding the basement, the homeowner needed a permanent basement waterproofing solution designed to manage groundwater and help protect the newly remodeled space from future water damage.
After Sure-Dry installed a WaterGuard Interior Drainage System along the foundation perimeter to intercept groundwater before it could reach the basement floor. WaterGuard was connected to a SuperSump Sump Pump System to collect the captured water and pump it safely away from the home. A SaniDry Dehumidification System was also installed to control relative humidity and help maintain drier conditions throughout the basement.
With the waterproofing and humidity-control systems in place, the homeowner can move forward with the basement remodel knowing the newly finished space has added protection against groundwater intrusion and excess moisture.

Before A homeowner in Manitowoc, WI had recently trusted Sure-Dry to waterproof their basement, but the project also revealed a structural concern that was contributing to the home’s water intrusion. Foundation wall movement had created conditions where moisture could find additional pathways into the basement. Addressing the wet basement was an important first step, but stabilizing the affected foundation walls was necessary to correct the underlying structural problem and provide more complete, long-term protection.
After Sure-Dry installed the GeoLock Wall Anchor System to permanently stabilize the affected foundation walls. The system uses heavy-duty steel earth anchors installed in stable soil outside the foundation and connected to steel wall plates inside the basement. During the exterior installation, the crew carefully removed and preserved sections of sod at each anchor location. Once the anchors were installed and the excavated areas restored, the original sod was placed back into position, leaving virtually no visible evidence that foundation repair work had taken place outside the home.
The homeowner now has a waterproofed basement and stabilized foundation, while the carefully restored lawn looks much like it did before the GeoLock installation.

Before

This Appleton, WI homeowner was dealing with basement moisture and water intrusion and needed a complete waterproofing solution rather than relying on a sump pump alone. Water entering around the foundation can lead to wet basement floors, damp conditions, musty odors, and elevated humidity if both the water and moisture in the air aren't properly managed.

Sure-Dry evaluated the basement and designed a system to address three important parts of keeping the space dry: collecting groundwater, reliably pumping it away from the home, and controlling humidity.

After

Sure-Dry installed the WaterGuard® interior drainage system along the perimeter of the basement to capture water entering where the foundation walls and floor meet. WaterGuard is installed below the floor but above the footing, helping keep it away from the mud and sediment that can clog traditional drainage systems.

The collected water is directed to a TripleSafe™ sump pump system, providing multiple levels of pumping protection for periods of increased groundwater and added protection if the primary pump can't keep up or operate.

To address moisture in the air, we also installed a SaniDry™ dehumidification system. SaniDry helps maintain healthier humidity levels and reduces the damp, musty conditions commonly associated with basement moisture.

Appleton and the Fox Valley experience heavy rainfall, spring snowmelt, changing soil moisture, and repeated freeze-thaw cycles that can increase water pressure around a foundation.

With WaterGuard collecting the water, TripleSafe pumping it away, and SaniDry controlling humidity, this Appleton homeowner now has a comprehensive basement waterproofing system designed to keep the space drier and healthier.

The stability of any concrete surface is dependent on the soils beneath it. The weight of concrete and what it supports, combined with natural soil erosion, can lead to sunken and uneven concrete surfaces, like this long concrete front porch in Denmark, WI.  

Sure-Dry Basement Systems provides expert concrete repair solutions using the PolyLevel® system. PolyLevel® is an expanding polyurethane foam that is injected beneath the concrete to fill the gaps caused by soil erosion and raise and stabilize the concrete surface.

Before:
A homeowner in Denmark noticed bouncy, uneven floors, small gaps opening at baseboards, and interior doors beginning to stick. In the crawl space, several wood posts were tilting on undersized pads, and some joists showed signs of deflection. The homeowner wanted a permanent, code-compliant fix that wouldn’t require major demolition.

After:
We installed the SmartJack® system to stabilize and lift the floor system. Each steel support was set on an engineered footing designed to distribute loads and resist settlement. After placing new steel support beams where needed, we adjusted the SmartJacks® to bring floors back toward level and eliminate bounce.

The result is a solid, stable first floor and a crawl space with reliable, adjustable structural support for long-term performance.
