Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Before the project, the homeowner in Crystal Falls, MI was dealing with recurring water seepage at the cove joint where the basement floor meets the walls, along with cold, damp foundation surfaces. During heavy rains and spring snowmelt, water tracked along the slab edge and collected in low areas, leaving efflorescence and a musty odor throughout the basement. The exposed concrete walls contributed to condensation and made the space feel chilly and humid, limiting how the homeowner could safely store belongings or consider future finishing. An existing sump pump system was basic and offered no redundancy, leaving the homeowner concerned about performance during major storms or power interruptions—typical of wet basement repair needs in Upper Michigan.

After Sure-Dry completed the work, the basement was protected by a coordinated system that manages water at the walls, floor, and sump basin. Along the footing, a WaterGuard® interior French drain was installed to intercept groundwater and cove joint seepage before it can reach the floor surface. The walls were then lined with a CleanSpace® wall system to create a bright, durable vapor barrier that directs any wall moisture down into the drainage channel while improving the appearance and feel of the space. All collected water is routed to a new TripleSafe® sump pump system, providing multiple levels of pump protection in a sealed basin to handle everyday flow, high-demand events, and power outages.
The homeowner now has a drier, brighter, and more comfortable basement in Crystal Falls, MI, with groundwater, wall moisture, and sump discharge managed by an integrated waterproofing system designed for Upper Peninsula conditions.

Flooding was a persistent issue for this homeowner in Amberg, WI, as you can see in the before photo. To address this, we installed our trusted WaterGuard system and a SuperSump sump pump. WaterGuard captures seepage and channels it effectively to the SuperSump, providing a seamless drainage solution. The after photo shows the newly dry, revitalized basement, offering the homeowner clean and usable space. With our reliable systems in place, the homeowner now enjoys peace of mind, knowing their basement is protected against future water damage.

IceGuard installed at customer's home to prevent frozen pipes and ensure that any water that the sump pump is removing from the basement is safely cleared away outside your home, preventing any backed-up or frozen lines. 

Before:
A homeowner in Kewaunee had been struggling with persistent basement water issues. Every time it rained, water would seep in at the wall and floor joints, leaving puddles across the basement. The dampness created a musty odor, limited storage options, and left the homeowner worried about long-term damage to their foundation.

After:
Our team installed a complete waterproofing system to permanently solve the problem. The WaterGuard® interior drainage system was placed around the perimeter of the basement to capture incoming water. This system directs water to the newly installed SuperSump® sump pump, which safely discharges it away from the home. To further protect the space and improve its appearance, we finished the walls with the CleanSpace® vapor barrier, sealing out moisture and creating a bright, clean look.

The basement is now dry, healthy, and usable, providing the homeowner with confidence and peace of mind during every storm.

Before:
In Kewaunee, this homeowner dealt with constant water seepage in one corner of the basement. Rainy weather meant wet concrete, musty smells, and constant worry about flooding. With an older sump system and no backup protection, it only took a power outage or heavy downpour to cause a problem.

After:
We installed a WaterGuard® Interior Drainage System to collect and direct water before it reaches the floor surface. A SuperSump® Sump Pump was paired with the UltraSump® Battery Backup System, providing extra protection when the power goes out or during periods of high water volume.

Now, their basement is dry, protected—and ready for anything Wisconsin weather can throw at it.
