Wet Basement Repair & Insulation in Waupun, WI

Before

A homeowner in Waupun, WI was experiencing ongoing water intrusion in their partially finished basement, threatening both the finished living space and the unfinished storage areas. Signs of moisture were visible along the wall-floor joint, and concerns about future water damage prompted the homeowner to seek a permanent solution. During our inspection, we identified hydrostatic pressure forcing groundwater into the basement through the cove joint and foundation walls—a common issue in Wisconsin due to fluctuating groundwater levels and freeze-thaw cycles. Because portions of the basement were already finished, it was important to install a system that would protect the home while minimizing future risk to the finished areas.

After

Our production team installed a comprehensive basement waterproofing system tailored to the home's unique layout. A full perimeter of WaterGuard Drainage System was installed to capture groundwater before it reached the basement floor. Water is directed to a new SuperSump Premier Sump Pump System, while a separate TripleSafe Sump Pump System provides additional pumping capacity and backup protection in another area of the basement. Portions of the foundation walls were covered with the CleanSpace Wall Vapor Barrier System to help direct wall moisture into the drainage system, and RimTight Rim Joist Insulation System was installed to seal air leaks around the rim joists, improving comfort and energy efficiency. The homeowner now has a dry, protected basement with a waterproofing system designed to safeguard both the finished and unfinished portions of the home.
