Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Before: Water Pooling Around the Foundation

This Manitowish Waters, WI home was experiencing persistent groundwater issues around the foundation. During heavy rains and snowmelt, water would collect near the base of the home, saturating the soil and increasing the risk of basement seepage, structural pressure, and long-term foundation damage.

The homeowners wanted a way to proactively redirect surface and groundwater—before it could threaten their home’s structure or lead to water intrusion.

After: A Strategic Drainage System That Protects the Home

Sure-Dry installed an exterior curtain drain system along the perimeter of the problem area. This specially designed drain collects and redirects water away from the foundation—before it reaches the home—reducing soil saturation and helping preserve structural integrity.

What We Installed:

• A perimeter curtain drain with gravel backfill and filter fabric to prevent clogs

• Drainage piping sloped away from the home to direct water to a safe discharge point

• Clean restoration of the landscape post-installation for a seamless finish

This solution protects the home from water buildup, minimizes pressure against the foundation walls, and helps reduce the likelihood of future seepage or cracking. It’s a low-visibility, high-impact solution that keeps water where it belongs—away from the house.

Before:
A homeowner in Gleason struggled with water seeping into their basement after heavy rains. Puddles formed along the walls and floor, causing musty odors and constant worry. Their sump pump couldn’t keep up, and frozen discharge lines were a concern each winter.

After:
We installed a complete waterproofing system including WaterGuard®, SuperSump®, IceGuard®, and a Buried Discharge Line.

Now the basement stays dry and protected year-round, even during heavy storms and freezing Wisconsin winters.

Before:
A homeowner in Aniwa, WI contacted Sure-Dry after persistent basement water problems began affecting their recently remodeled space. Despite previous efforts to control moisture, water continued to seep in along the floor and wall joints during rainfall, damaging flooring and drywall. Ultimately, the homeowner had to remove sections of the finished basement to address the root cause of the issue once and for all. They needed a permanent waterproofing solution that would protect their investment and prevent future flooding.

After:
Sure-Dry installed a comprehensive waterproofing system featuring WaterGuard® interior drainage and a TripleSafe™ sump pump. The WaterGuard system was placed along the basement perimeter to intercept groundwater and direct it to the TripleSafe unit, which provides three levels of pumping protection, including a battery backup for power outages. After installation, the system was neatly finished with fresh concrete, ready for the homeowner to confidently remodel again.

The result was a dry, protected basement and peace of mind knowing the water problem was permanently solved.
