Sump Pump & Basement Drainage Installed in Vesper, WI

Before the project, the homeowner in Vesper, WI was dealing with ongoing water intrusion along several basement walls whenever rain or seasonal snowmelt increased groundwater pressure. Water appeared at the cove joint where the slab meets the wall on some runs and tracked down the face of the foundation on others, leaving damp bands, minor floor puddling, and efflorescence. The existing sump pit was shallow and poorly covered, and there was no continuous interior drainage system to manage hydrostatic pressure around the footing. Over time, the musty odor and visible moisture raised concerns about air quality, potential damage to stored belongings, and the long-term health of the foundation in this Wood County home.

After Sure-Dry completed the work, the basement was protected by a combined WaterGuard® and DryTrak® interior drainage solution, all directed into a new SuperSump® system. WaterGuard was installed along the accessible slab edges at the footing to intercept groundwater before it reached the floor surface, while DryTrak was applied at sections where jackhammering the slab was not practical, allowing wall and cove seepage to be collected along the interior face of the wall. Both drainage systems were tied into a properly sized SuperSump basin with an airtight lid, durable liner, and high-capacity pump designed for reliable sump pump installation in Wisconsin basements, with the discharge routed safely away from the foundation.
The homeowner now has a clean, dry, and healthier basement environment, along with confidence that this interior drainage system basement solution will protect their Vesper, WI home through future storms and snowmelt cycles.
