Before:
A Minocqua homeowner was dealing with recurring basement water after storms. Seepage appeared where the walls meet the floor, leaving puddles, musty odors, and concerns about long-term damage.

After:
We installed the WaterGuard® interior drainage system along the basement perimeter to intercept seepage at the wall-floor joint and direct it to a new SuperSump® system. The SuperSump provides reliable pumping capacity with an airtight lid, high-quality pump, and clean finish.

The basement is now dry, usable, and protected during heavy rain events.

Before the project, the homeowner in Minocqua, WI was dealing with recurring water seepage along the cove joint where the basement floor meets the foundation walls, especially during heavy rains and spring snowmelt. Water tracked along the perimeter slab, left damp bands and efflorescence on the concrete, and occasionally pooled in low spots, making the basement unreliable for storage and future finishing. An older sump pump sat in a basic pit without a continuous interior drainage system, so hydrostatic pressure beneath the slab simply forced groundwater to the wall–floor joint—typical of wet basement repair needs in Wisconsin’s Northwoods.

After Sure-Dry completed the work, the basement was protected by a WaterGuard® interior drainage system installed along the affected walls at the footing to intercept groundwater before it can reach the floor surface. The drainage channel was set in a stone bed with a wall flange to capture wall and cove seepage and was routed directly into a new SuperSump® sump pump system, providing a sealed liner, airtight lid, and high-capacity pump tied into a properly routed discharge line. The WaterGuard interior French drain was then covered with new concrete to restore a clean, finished floor edge and deliver a long-term interior drainage system basement solution for this Minocqua home.
The homeowner now has a dry, healthier basement environment and confidence that this basement waterproofing system will protect their Northwoods property through future storms and snowmelt cycles.
