Sure-Dry Before & After Photos

This home in Athens, WI had water finding its way into the basement between the basement walls and footing.  

To give these homeowners piece of mind, Sure-Dry Basement Systems installed their SuperSump® Premier Pump System. It is engineered to help keep the basement dry and healthy for extended periods of time, even in times of heavy water intrusion. The SuperSump includes a powerful Zoeller® ⅓ horsepower cast-iron sump pump, capable of pumping 2,220 gallons of water per hour at an 8-foot head out of your basement.

To ensure the water getting into the basement was being collected and directed to the SuperSump Premier Pump System, Sure-Dry installed their WaterGuard® system.  The WaterGuard system collects water that seeps through basement walls and drains it to your sump pump. The system installs quickly and has a clean finished appearance, meaning you don't have to worry about having an unsightly drain around the basement. WaterGuard works for both block walls and poured concrete, ensuring that your basement remains dry in all situations.

Before:
In an older farmhouse near Athens, the basement showed classic moisture issues—water at the wall–floor (cove) joint after rains, damp/porous foundation walls with efflorescence, and a persistent musty odor. With uneven wall surfaces typical of older homes, the owners needed a clean, low-maintenance solution that wouldn’t tear up the

space more than necessary.

After:
We installed WaterGuard® interior perimeter drainage to intercept seepage at the cove joint and carry it to a new UltraSump® system with a sealed lid, alarm, and battery backup for reliability during storms. We finished the walls with the CleanSpace® Wall System, mechanically fastening the liner to bridge irregular surfaces and direct wall moisture down into WaterGuard.

Now the basement stays clean, dry, and more usable year-round, with dependable protection even during power outages.

Before:
A driveway slab had settled and separated from the garage, leaving a toe-stubbing lip at the threshold and a wide gap where water, ice, and debris collected. During rains, water funneled toward the garage, and winter freeze–thaw made the settlement worse.

After:
We injected PolyLevel® beneath the slab to fill voids and lift it back to a smooth, garage-level transition, then sealed the garage-to-slab joint and open cracks with NexusPro® (installed over backer and topped with color-match sand) to keep water out of the base soils.

The threshold is now flush and safe, joints are sealed against moisture, and the slab sheds water away from the garage to help prevent future settlement.

Before:
A homeowner in Athens had a small, low-clearance crawl space with exposed soil, musty odors, and chilly floors above. Seasonal humidity led to light condensation on wood and air leaks at the rim joists made the first floor drafty.

After:
We encapsulated the space with CleanSpace® liner (floor and walls, wrapped piers, all seams sealed), insulated the crawl space walls with SilverGlo® rigid foam, and air-sealed rim joists and penetrations using RimTight™ to block outside air.

The crawl space is now dry, sealed, and insulated—improving comfort, air quality, and energy efficiency throughout the home.

Before:
In Athens, WI, a homeowner noticed their basement showing early signs of water seepage near the floor edges after heavy rain. While the issue wasn’t severe, moisture collecting along the perimeter made it clear that the existing drainage setup was insufficient to keep the space consistently dry. The homeowner wanted a dependable solution before the problem worsened.

After:
Sure-Dry installed a WaterGuard® Interior Drainage System along the basement’s perimeter to collect and channel any water seepage directly to a new SuperSump® system. This powerful and reliable sump pump now efficiently removes water from the basement, discharging it safely away from the foundation.
The combination of WaterGuard and SuperSump provides long-term protection against water damage, keeping the basement clean, dry, and ready for use even during periods of heavy rainfall.
