Sure-Dry Before & After Photos

The before photo reveals the all-too-common story for homeowners in Endeavor, WI: a basement victim to the recurring menace of water leakage, casting a damp shadow on what could be a vital part of their home. Cue Sure-Dry's solution visible in the after photo—our installation of WaterGuard. This ingenious system now guards the basement against water, transforming feared floods into a worry of the past, ensuring every corner remains dry, comfortable, and ready for homeowner creativity to shine.

For homeowners in Westfield, WI the constant toe stubbing was getting annoying due to their concrete slab sinking away from their stairs.

With an easy and simple fix, we used our PolyLevel Injection. PolyLevel is a quick and easy, no mess solution. When polyurethane foam is injected under the slab, it raises the concrete back up to it's correct location and it is ready to be used again in just 15 minutes!

Now that their concrete stairs are in their correct location, there won't be anymore bruised toes! 

Before:
A Westfield homeowner was planning a new deck but was concerned about soft soils and Wisconsin’s freeze–thaw cycles shifting traditional concrete footings. They wanted a foundation solution that was code-compliant, fast to install, and stable enough to protect their investment long term.

After:
We installed helical piers at each planned post location to create a deep, load-bearing foundation below the active soil zone. Each pier was advanced to engineer-specified torque, confirming bearing capacity. Low-impact equipment allowed tight-access installation with minimal disturbance to the yard. The piers accepted new-construction caps so the framing could begin immediately.

The result is a deck foundation that resists settlement and frost heave, ready for same-day construction and built to perform for years.

Before:
The homeowner was battling two issues in the basement: cold, drafty floors from leaky rim joists and periodic water after heavy rains. The old sump could not keep up during storms, and the air leaks at the rim made the space damp and uncomfortable year-round.

After:
We air-sealed and insulated the rim joist perimeter with RimTight™, stopping outside air infiltration and helping control moisture at its entry point. We then installed a TripleSafe® sump system—three pumps in one liner (primary, secondary, and a battery-backup pump)—with an airtight lid and high-reliability discharge setup.

The basement is now tighter, warmer at the floor level, and protected against power outages or heavy rain events.

A sump pump can be an incredibly valuable resource in your home. When water gets into your basement, the sump pump is what protects you from a flood that could cause expensive property damage.

This home in Hancock, WI had an old sump pump that they no longer trusted to keep up with how much water was coming into the basement. They wanted a system installed that would give them ultimate piece of mind that however much water was coming in, the sump system would have no problem draining the water out of the home.

To provide these homeowners with the piece of mind they were seeking, Sure-Dry Basement Systems installed their TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System. The TripleSafe Sump Pump System provides three levels of protection for your basement and your peace of mind. For normal functioning, the TripleSafe has a powerful, cast-iron Zoeller® ⅓ horsepower sump pump set at the lowest level. For heavy volumes of water or in case of primary pump failure, a second, more powerful Zoeller® ½ hp pump set a bit higher in the liner will take over. In case of a power outage, our UltraSump® battery backup sump pump, set at the highest level, will pump 11,500 gallons or more on a fully charged battery!
