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.
