Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Before:
A homeowner in Lac du Flambeau, WI was struggling with repeated basement water intrusion, especially after heavy rains and snowmelt. Water pooled along the perimeter where the floor met the wall, leaving damp floors and musty odors. The existing pump system was undersized and unreliable, allowing moisture to linger and humidity to rise throughout the lower level.

After:
To create a permanent waterproofing solution, our team installed a WaterGuard® interior drainage system around the full basement perimeter to capture groundwater before it reached the surface. The system was directed into a high-performance TripleSafe® sump system, providing triple-pump redundancy and battery backup for uninterrupted protection. A Sedona™ dehumidifier was added to control humidity and maintain clean, dry air throughout the space.

Now, this Lac du Flambeau basement stays consistently dry, comfortable, and protected—ready for safe storage and long-term peace of mind.

Facing a soggy situation in Irma, WI, where water seeped in around the basement entry steps. Notice in the before photo, the glaring problem that troubled our homeowner. We sprang into action, installing WaterGuard and CleanSpace — our dual-defense against moisture. As you can see in the after photo, the area is now dry, clean, and ready to withstand whatever Wisconsin weather throws its way. We guarantee not just a fix, but peace of mind with our long-lasting solutions.

This home in Irma, WI had flooding in their basement and no system in place for the water to drain to and discharge away from the home.

To solve 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!

Before:
A homeowner in Ringle, WI was experiencing persistent basement water issues that worsened after heavy rainfall. Water was seeping through wall-floor joints and pooling along the perimeter, leaving damp floors and musty odors. The existing sump pump was undersized and unreliable, running frequently without fully clearing water. These ongoing conditions risked damage to stored items and promoted humidity throughout the lower level.

After:
To permanently manage groundwater and moisture, our team installed a full WaterGuard® interior drainage system along the basement perimeter to capture seepage before it reached the floor surface. The drainage system was directed into a new TripleSafe® Sump System, providing triple pump redundancy for maximum protection. A Sedona™ dehumidifier was added to maintain dry, conditioned air throughout the space.

Now, this Ringle basement remains dry and protected year-round—with reliable drainage, high-capacity pumping, and balanced humidity control.

Water was getting into the basement of this home in Ringle, WI through the foundation basement walls. To capture the water coming in, Sure-Dry Basement Systems installed their CleanSpace® Wall System.  The CleanSpace® Wall System holds 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!
