Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

The crawl space of this home in Rib Lake, WI was flooded due to heavy water intrusion and no system in place to drain and discharge the water out and away from the home.  

To fix this issue, Sure-Dry Basement Systems installed their SuperSump® Premier Pump System. It is engineered to help keep the basement dry and healthy for extended periods of time, even in times of heavy water intrusion. The SuperSump includes a powerful Zoeller® ⅓ horsepower cast-iron sump pump, capable of pumping 2,220 gallons of water per hour at an 8-foot head out of your basement. The SuperSump can also be installed with an optional UltraSump® Battery Backup Sump Pump, which can pump out 11,500 gallons or more on a single charge!

This complete system provides total protection, and like all of our sump pump systems works perfectly with our drainage systems.

The before photo reveals the all-too-common story for homeowners in Endeavor, WI: a basement victim to the recurring menace of water leakage, casting a damp shadow on what could be a vital part of their home. Cue Sure-Dry's solution visible in the after photo—our installation of WaterGuard. This ingenious system now guards the basement against water, transforming feared floods into a worry of the past, ensuring every corner remains dry, comfortable, and ready for homeowner creativity to shine.

Before:
This Fifield, WI homeowner experienced frequent basement water intrusion, especially during heavy rain. Water pooled along the floor where the wall met the slab, creating damp, musty conditions and threatening stored belongings. Without a reliable sump system or drainage solution, the hydrostatic pressure continued to push moisture into the space, making it impossible to keep the basement dry.

After:
To permanently solve the issue, the Sure-Dry team installed a complete waterproofing system including a WaterGuard® interior drainage system, a bleeder line, and a TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System. These components work together to capture groundwater, relieve pressure, and discharge it safely away from the home.

The homeowner now has a consistently dry, protected basement that’s ready for safe storage and peace of mind year-round.

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.
