Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A sump pump can be an incredibly valuable resource in your home. When water gets into your basement, the sump pump is what protects you from a flood that could cause expensive property damage.

This home in Hewitt, WI had a sump pump, but the homeowners didn't trust that it could keep up with how much water was coming into the basement. They wanted a system installed that would give them ultimate piece of mind that however much water was coming in, the sump system would have no problem draining the water out of the home.

To provide these homeowners with the piece of mind they were seeking, Sure-Dry Basement Systems installed their TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System. The TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System provides three levels of protection for your basement and your peace of mind. For normal functioning, the TripleSafe™ has a powerful, cast-iron Zoeller® ⅓ horsepower sump pump set at the lowest level. For heavy volumes of water or in case of primary pump failure, a second, more powerful Zoeller® ½ hp pump set a bit higher in the liner will take over. In case of a power outage, our UltraSump® battery backup sump pump, set at the highest level, will pump 11,500 gallons or more on a fully charged battery!

Our Sure-Dry team installed 8 GeoLocks to the basement walls of a home in Nekoosa, WI.

GeoLocks use the outside, hard, compacted soil to hold the wall in place and keep it from bowing any further. Every so often the GeoLocks can be tightened and over time will pull the wall but to its proper location.

Before:
A homeowner in Nekoosa was getting seepage at the wall–floor (cove) joint after storms and dampness wicking through the lower walls. Some sections of the basement couldn’t be trenched due to finishes and utilities, and the aging pump left them uneasy during power flickers.

After:
We installed WaterGuard® interior perimeter drainage where trenching was feasible to intercept groundwater at the cove joint, and used DryTrak® low-profile baseboard drainage along finished/utility walls where we couldn’t cut the slab. Both drains were tied into a new UltraSump® system with a sealed lid, alarm, and battery backup for dependable pumping through outages.

Now the basement stays clean, dry, and usable year-round—with reliable protection in heavy rains and power interruptions.
