Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

In Sturgeon Bay, WI homeowners are annoyed with their long pipes hanging around their home. They know they need them because they discharge water out from their pump, but, they know they can't put it underground because otherwise, it will freeze. Out of ideas, they called Sure-Dry Basement Systems to come take care of the problem.

Our crew knew just what to do. We installed our IceGuard System which is extremely handy and good to have. Our IceGuard System fits right on top of their discharge line to provide water a second way out if the main line is frozen. If the main line is frozen when water tries to discharge out it will back up to your pump which will then cause flooding in your basement. But our IceGuard System allows water to escape through slotted openings in the drain pipe. Which then tells you, your mainline needs to be unfrozen. 

Thanks to Sure-Dry, these homeowners now won't have pipes hanging all around their yard and they also know they won't have to worry about their basement flooding because of them being underground.

Before, a flooded basement in Daggett, MI left homeowners feeling helpless against the elements. After, as you can see, Sure-Dry transformed their space with our WaterGuard drainage system. This innovative solution diverts water, ensuring their basement stays dry and secure, no matter the weather. Now, these homeowners can rest easy, knowing they have a reliable, long-lasting fix, all thanks to our commitment to remarkable customer experiences and dependable home solutions. The peace of mind is clearly visible in the after photo.

Before
The basement in this Stephenson, MI home was experiencing recurring water intrusion along the perimeter and elevated humidity levels that contributed to damp walls and musty odors. During heavy rain and spring snowmelt, groundwater entered at the wall-to-floor joint, while the existing sump system lacked the capacity and backup protection needed for reliable basement waterproofing Michigan conditions demand. The homeowner began searching for basement waterproofing near me after repeated water cleanup and concerns about air quality.
These symptoms indicated the need for a comprehensive interior drainage system basement solution from a qualified basement waterproofing contractor.

After
Sure-Dry installed a full interior drainage system using DryTrak® to capture water intrusion along the foundation perimeter and direct it to a new TripleSafe™ sump pump system for reliable, multi-level pumping protection. The foundation walls were sealed with CleanSpace® to isolate moisture vapor, and a SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifier was installed to control humidity and improve basement air quality.
The basement is now dry, properly managed, and protected against future water intrusion with a complete basement waterproofing contractor solution tailored for Upper Michigan’s climate.

In Egg Harbor, WI, the owners of a newly built home faced unexpected water issues in their basement. As you can see in the before photo, water intrusion threatened their investment. Our team at Sure-Dry implemented a comprehensive solution including IceGuard, WaterGuard, and the TripleSafe™ Sump Pump system. Notice in the after photo the transformation to a dry, secure space. Our proven, industry-leading products ensure the sump pump discharge remains reliable, while WaterGuard channels any water directly to the TripleSafe, creating a permanently protected basement.

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.
