Sure-Dry Before & After Photos

Before

This homeowner in Menominee, MI had recurring water entering the basement during heavy rains and seasonal snowmelt. Water was making its way along the perimeter of the basement floor, leaving damp areas and raising concerns about moisture damage, musty odors, and mold growth. During our inspection, we identified hydrostatic pressure forcing groundwater into the basement and recommended installing the DryTrak Baseboard Drain Pipe System along with a SuperSump Premier Sump Pump System to permanently manage the water.

After

Our production team installed the DryTrak Baseboard Drain Pipe System around the affected areas of the basement to collect water as it entered along the wall-floor joint and direct it to the newly installed SuperSump Premier Sump Pump System. The SuperSump then automatically pumps the collected groundwater safely away from the home's foundation. Together, these systems provide dependable basement waterproofing while helping protect the home from future water intrusion through Michigan's wet seasons and freeze-thaw cycles.

Before

The homeowner in Menominee, MI had a basement packed with storage, making it difficult to access problem areas while recurring water seepage continued to threaten their belongings. Water was entering where the floor met the foundation walls during heavy rains and seasonal snowmelt, creating damp conditions and putting stored items at risk of damage. During our inspection, we identified hydrostatic pressure as the source of the intrusion and recommended installing the DryTrak Baseboard Drain Pipe System along with a TripleSafe Sump Pump System to permanently collect and remove groundwater from the basement.

After

Our production team installed the DryTrak Baseboard Drain Pipe System around the affected areas of the basement, allowing groundwater to be captured at the wall-floor joint and directed into the newly installed TripleSafe Sump Pump System. DryTrak provided an effective waterproofing solution with minimal disruption to the homeowner's storage-filled basement, while the TripleSafe system offers three levels of protection, including a battery backup pump to continue operating during power outages. The homeowner now has greater confidence that both their basement and stored belongings are protected from future water intrusion.

Before

This Menominee, MI home had a crawl space that was better built than many we encounter. It offered extra headroom, a poured concrete floor, and good access for our crew. Even with those advantages, the homeowners were beginning to notice a problem upstairs: floors in the home were starting to sag.

A well-built crawl space doesn't necessarily prevent structural issues. Over time, floor joists and support beams can deflect, existing supports can settle, or loads from the home can contribute to low and uneven areas in the floors above.

Our team evaluated the floor system and determined that additional structural support was needed beneath the affected areas.

After

Sure-Dry installed the SmartJack® Crawl Space Support System beneath the home's floor system. The adjustable steel support posts were positioned to reinforce the structure and provide dependable support where the floors had begun to sag.

Because this crawl space had excellent headroom and a concrete floor, our crew had unusually good working conditions for completing the installation and positioning the support system where it was needed.

SmartJack® is designed to provide a more permanent solution than improvised wood posts or temporary supports. The system can also be adjusted if needed to help maintain support as conditions change over time.

In the Menominee area, seasonal freeze-thaw cycles and changing soil moisture can contribute to movement and settlement around homes. Addressing symptoms such as sagging floors, uneven floors, or bouncy areas early can help prevent the structural problem from becoming more noticeable.

The result is a properly supported floor system and greater confidence in the structure beneath this Menominee home.

In Sturgeon Bay, WI homeowners are annoyed with their long pipes hanging around their home. They know they need them because they discharge water out from their pump, but, they know they can't put it underground because otherwise, it will freeze. Out of ideas, they called Sure-Dry Basement Systems to come take care of the problem.

Our crew knew just what to do. We installed our IceGuard System which is extremely handy and good to have. Our IceGuard System fits right on top of their discharge line to provide water a second way out if the main line is frozen. If the main line is frozen when water tries to discharge out it will back up to your pump which will then cause flooding in your basement. But our IceGuard System allows water to escape through slotted openings in the drain pipe. Which then tells you, your mainline needs to be unfrozen. 

Thanks to Sure-Dry, these homeowners now won't have pipes hanging all around their yard and they also know they won't have to worry about their basement flooding because of them being underground.

During the winter months, no one wants to be outside because of that awful chill winter brings. That's why these homeowners in Sturgeon Bay, WI needed our help. It seemed as though no matter how high they turned up the heat, it was still cool in their home. 

As soon as they called our team at Sure-Dry, we knew just the solution that would fit these homeowners needs. Our crew installed our SilverGlo Product to their crawlspaces walls, which is where the outside air was entering through.

Crawlspaces can be open to the earth which is an easy access point for cold air to enter through to your home, which is exactly what was happening for these homeowners.

What the SilverGlo Product does is insulate the crawlspace, not only that but inside the foam are tiny particles that actually reflect heat back into the crawlspace.

Having complete reassurance that their crawlspace and home will be kept warm from the outside air, these homeowners can go back to resting in their nice warm home until the winter months are over!
