Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Before:
A homeowner in Wausau, WI, began noticing moisture collecting along the perimeter of their basement and damp staining on the lower sections of the walls after heavy rainfall. While the seepage was not severe, the consistent dampness created musty odors and made the space unsuitable for storage. The homeowner wanted a complete, long-term solution to keep both the walls and floor dry and protected from future water intrusion.

After:
Sure-Dry installed a comprehensive waterproofing system featuring the WaterGuard® Interior Drainage System, SuperSump® sump pump, and CleanSpace® Wall System. The WaterGuard channels groundwater seepage along the footing into the SuperSump, which efficiently removes it from the home. The CleanSpace Wall System—a durable, vapor-barrier liner—was applied to the basement walls to stop moisture and direct any wall seepage into the drainage system.
Together, these systems transformed the basement into a clean, dry, and bright space, ensuring lasting protection against humidity, water damage, and wall staining.

Before:
A homeowner in Wausau, WI, noticed that water was seeping along the basement floor after heavy rain, leaving damp spots and musty odors near the walls. Although the problem wasn’t yet severe, the consistent moisture made the space uncomfortable and unsuitable for storage. The homeowner wanted a permanent, reliable system to collect and remove any incoming water before it could cause damage.

After:
Sure-Dry installed a WaterGuard® Interior Drainage System along the perimeter of the basement to capture groundwater and direct it to a newly installed SuperSump® system. The SuperSump efficiently pumps collected water out of the home, protecting the foundation and keeping the basement consistently dry.
This complete waterproofing system now provides the homeowner with year-round protection against seepage, creating a clean, dry, and usable basement space.

Structurally, stone foundations are often extremely durable (2’ of stone!) but due to their construction, most suffer from seepage and moisture along the floor and in the wall mortar. We help many homeowners with these types of foundations to be able to use their basements again.

Here is an example of a basement with a stone foundation in Wausau, WI that we waterproofed using our WaterGuard®, CleanSpace®, and SuperSump® systems.  

The WaterGuard® system collects water that seeps through basement walls and drains it to your sump pump. The system installs quickly and has a clean finished appearance, meaning you don't have to worry about having an unsightly drain around the basement.

The CleanSpace Wall System can hold back water vapor passing through your foundation walls, directing it to your sump pump. With anti-microbial protection called UltraFresh built right in, no mold or mildew will grow on the CleanSpace!  If you have stone walls, an exposed ledge in your basement, or dirt floors, CleanSpace is the perfect solution! With its 25-year warranty from rips or tears, you can be sure it's strong enough to do the job!

Finally, the 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!

With this comprehensive waterproofing system in place thanks to Sure-Dry, these homeowners were able to finish their basement free of worry about water damage!

Before:
A homeowner in Merrill, WI, was experiencing frequent water seepage along the basement floor and walls. During heavy rains, water pooled near the perimeter, leaving damp spots and an earthy odor that made the space unusable for storage. The homeowner wanted a long-term solution that would handle both surface water and groundwater intrusion while keeping the basement dry year-round.

After:
Sure-Dry installed a complete waterproofing system featuring the Sedona™ SaniDry™ Dehumidifier, TripleSafe® Sump Pump System, and WaterGuard® Interior Drainage System. Together, these systems capture and channel incoming water to the sump basin, automatically discharge it safely outside, and maintain low humidity levels to prevent mold and odor.
The result is a clean, dry, and healthy basement environment that remains protected even during heavy rainfall—giving the homeowner lasting peace of mind and a space they can confidently use.
