Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

When a homeowner in Hazelhurst, WI, experienced severe basement flooding, they reached out to Sure-Dry for expert assistance. The extent of the flooding posed significant risks to their home, potentially damaging both the structure and personal belongings. Our dedicated Customer Care Specialist quickly scheduled a home inspection with one of our System Design Specialists to assess the situation.

Upon inspection, it was clear that the basement required an effective waterproofing solution to prevent any future water intrusion. Our specialist recommended the installation of a DryTrak system, paired with a SuperSump, to address the homeowner's concerns. The DryTrak is a foundational solution designed to capture water leakage and direct it into a drainage system efficiently. Coupled with the SuperSump, this system would ensure that any accumulating water is immediately pumped out, keeping the basement dry and protected.

Our production team, consisting of a seasoned foreman and proficient installers, arrived promptly to implement the solution. They laid the DryTrak smoothly along the perimeter of the basement and prepared for the installation of the SuperSump. With precision and care, the SuperSump was installed, offering reliable flood protection with its cast iron pump and alert system for high water levels.

By the project's completion, the homeowner experienced relief and peace of mind. With the combined strength of DryTrak and SuperSump, their basement was safeguarded against future flooding. They appreciated not only the expert waterproofing solution but also the professional, customer-first approach, reflecting Sure-Dry's commitment to redefining the customer-contractor experience.

Solving Water Leaks and Musty Odors Every Time It Rains

Before: Wet Basement, Musty Smells, and No Peace of Mind

Every time it rained in Harshaw, this homeowner braced for water. The basement would get damp, musty odors filled the air, and their existing sump pump just couldn’t keep up with the groundwater coming in. The homeowner had dealt with it long enough—and wanted a real fix before things got worse.

After: Dual Sump Pump System and Interior Drainage Keep Basement Dry

To take full control of the moisture issues, our team installed a complete WaterGuard® interior drainage system, a brand-new SuperSump® Plus system, and tied it in with the home’s existing sump pump for extra protection. We also installed an IceGuard® discharge line system to prevent freezing or backups in winter.

Now, the basement stays dry, the air is fresh, and the homeowner has peace of mind—rain or shine.

Before
Before the project, the homeowner in Harshaw, WI was experiencing seasonal water seepage along the basement perimeter whenever heavy rain or rapid snowmelt occurred. Water showed up at the cove joint where the floor meets the wall, leaving damp bands along the slab, minor pooling in low spots, and efflorescence on the concrete. The existing sump pump setup was a basic pit with no continuous interior drain tile, so hydrostatic pressure beneath the slab simply forced groundwater up at the weakest points. Over time, the musty odor and visible moisture made the homeowner concerned about stored belongings, air quality, and the potential for future finishing of the space.

After
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 WaterGuard system, with its wall flange to capture wall and cove seepage, was routed directly into a new SuperSump® system featuring a durable liner, airtight lid, and high-capacity pump designed for reliable sump pump installation in Wisconsin basements. The crew tied the discharge into a properly routed line to carry water safely away from the foundation and carefully re-poured concrete over the trench, restoring a clean, finished floor edge while providing a long-term interior drainage solution for this Harshaw, WI home.
The homeowner now has a dry, healthier basement environment and confidence that this basement waterproofing system will keep their Northwoods home protected through future storms and snowmelt cycles.
