Sure-Dry Before & After Photos

Solving Water Leaks and Musty Odors Every Time It Rains

Before: Wet Basement, Musty Smells, and No Peace of Mind

Every time it rained in Harshaw, this homeowner braced for water. The basement would get damp, musty odors filled the air, and their existing sump pump just couldn’t keep up with the groundwater coming in. The homeowner had dealt with it long enough—and wanted a real fix before things got worse.

After: Dual Sump Pump System and Interior Drainage Keep Basement Dry

To take full control of the moisture issues, our team installed a complete WaterGuard® interior drainage system, a brand-new SuperSump® Plus system, and tied it in with the home’s existing sump pump for extra protection. We also installed an IceGuard® discharge line system to prevent freezing or backups in winter.

Now, the basement stays dry, the air is fresh, and the homeowner has peace of mind—rain or shine.

In Berlin, WI homeowners noticed their basement walls were bowing forward. 

Our team came out and installed 9 GeoLocks. These GeoLocks use the hard compacted soil outside to pull/hold the wall in place so no further bowing takes place. 

While there are a number of potential causes of cracked and bowing foundation walls, the most common reason is pressure from foundation soils.  When clay soils get wet, they can expand and put tremendous pressure on a wall. When this force exceeds the wall's ability to resist it, the wall begins to fail in different ways. Cracking, bowing and tilting are the most common symptoms of foundation wall failure. 

The block foundation wall of this home in Pine River, WI is an example of how pressure from the wet soil surrounding the foundation can cause bowing and cracking.  

To permanently stabilize this block foundation wall, Sure-Dry Basement Systems installed their Geo-Lock™ Foundation Wall Anchor System.  The Geo-Lock™ Foundation Wall Anchor System permanently stabilizes your basement walls, offering the best opportunity to straighten the walls without the cost and disruption of foundation replacement.  Heavy-duty, galvanized earth anchors are embedded in stable, undisturbed soil outside your foundation wall. Each anchor is connected by a steel rod to a wall plate that provides clamping pressure against the inside of the foundation wall. This method also offers the potential to straighten the wall back to its original position.

In Pine River, WI, a beloved family cabin faced the fright of cracking and inward-moving walls, signaling a weakening foundation that threatened future family gatherings. Before despair set in, we stepped in with our PowerBrace system. As you can see in the photos, we transformed uncertainty into security, ensuring that this precious cabin can continue to host generations of memories. Our commitment was not just to fix the problem but to safeguard a piece of their family legacy through a durable and reliable solution.

When our Pine River homeowner faced escalating water issues in their basement, seen clearly in the before photo, they knew it was time to call us for help. After assessing the situation, we installed our reliable WaterGuard system, tailored specifically for this kind of challenge. Notice in the after photo how dry and secure the space now looks. We transformed a worrisome, water-logged basement into a worry-free zone, reaffirming our commitment to delivering remarkable customer experiences and lasting solutions.
