Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Before:
The homeowner was battling two issues in the basement: cold, drafty floors from leaky rim joists and periodic water after heavy rains. The old sump could not keep up during storms, and the air leaks at the rim made the space damp and uncomfortable year-round.

After:
We air-sealed and insulated the rim joist perimeter with RimTight™, stopping outside air infiltration and helping control moisture at its entry point. We then installed a TripleSafe® sump system—three pumps in one liner (primary, secondary, and a battery-backup pump)—with an airtight lid and high-reliability discharge setup.

The basement is now tighter, warmer at the floor level, and protected against power outages or heavy rain events.

Before:
A homeowner in Hancock was struggling with water seepage in their basement every time it rained. Water pooled along the walls and floor joints, leaving damp spots, odors, and making the space feel uninviting. The bare concrete walls also left the basement looking dark and unfinished.

After:
Our team installed a complete waterproofing system featuring the WaterGuard® interior drainage system, a reliable SuperSump® sump pump, and BrightWall® panels. WaterGuard captures incoming water and directs it to the SuperSump, which pumps it safely away from the home. To finish the job, BrightWall panels were applied to the basement walls, giving them a clean, bright appearance while also directing wall seepage into the drainage system.

Now the basement is dry, bright, and functional. The homeowner no longer worries about water intrusion and can enjoy the space with confidence.

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 Hancock, WI had an old sump pump that they no longer trusted to 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!
