Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Before:
The homeowner was battling a very wet basement—water entered along multiple wall–floor joints after rain and during thaws. Puddles, musty odors, and efflorescence made the space unusable and raised concerns about long-term damage.

After:
We installed a full interior system: WaterGuard® around the leaking perimeter to capture seepage at its source, feeding a new TripleSafe® sump system (primary pump for everyday flow, a high-capacity secondary for peak events, and a battery-backup pump for outages). To finish, we lined the walls with CleanSpace® vapor barrier so any wall moisture is directed into WaterGuard instead of onto the floor.

The basement is now dry, clean, and ready for storage and projects—even during heavy rains.

Faced with a persistent leaky basement, a homeowner in Spalding, MI, turned to us for help. As you can see in the before photo, water infiltration was an ongoing challenge, causing stress and damage to their home. Our team installed WaterGuard, an innovative waterproofing solution designed to effectively channel water away from the foundation. The after photo showcases a dry, secured basement ready to stand the test of time. Experience the peace of mind we bring to homes with our expert solutions.

The block foundation walls in the basement of this home in Spalding, MI had water coming through them and flooding the basement.  

To collect the water coming in through the walls, Sure-Dry Basement Systems 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.

To take care of these homeowners walls, Sure-Dry installed their BrightWall® Basement Wall Panels. BrightWall is 100% waterproof and washable, and it creates a vapor barrier on your basement walls to block out water vapor and humidity. This ensures that you won't have to worry about mold growth or rot. Like our other wall products, it can direct water seepage into your perimeter drain.

Before:
A homeowner in Baileys Harbor, WI had been struggling with intermittent basement flooding during heavy rains. Their existing sump system was outdated and undersized, often failing to keep up with rapid groundwater inflow. Each storm left standing water on the floor and increased humidity throughout the basement—creating a damp, musty environment.

After:
To provide reliable year-round protection, our team installed a SuperSump® Premier Sump Pump System. The system features a high-performance pump, durable airtight liner, and floor drain to capture any surface water while preventing moisture escape. The discharge line was routed for efficient drainage and sealed with a clean, professional finish.

Now, the Baileys Harbor basement stays consistently dry and protected—ensuring peace of mind and a dependable solution for future storms.
