Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Before:
A homeowner in Ripon, WI was dealing with water seeping along the basement perimeter during heavy rains. The finished floor showed damp spots near the baseboards, and small cracks along the cove joint allowed moisture to creep in from hydrostatic pressure beneath the slab. The existing sump system was undersized and frequently overwhelmed, leaving the basement musty and unusable after storms.

After:
To create a permanent solution, our team installed a DryTrak® baseboard drainage system around the basement’s interior perimeter to collect seepage and channel it directly to a new SuperSump® Premier Sump System. The sealed SuperSump liner and high-performance pump provide reliable removal of groundwater while keeping moisture and odors sealed below the lid.

Now, the Ripon basement stays dry and protected—even after the heaviest rainfall—restoring full use of the space with a clean, low-profile waterproofing system.

A homeowner in Waupun, WI was dealing with a chronically wet basement. After heavy rain, water entered along the cove joint where the floor met the wall, pooling several feet into the space. The block foundation showed signs of seepage and mineral staining, and the existing sump system could not keep up—leaving standing water and damp air that threatened storage and air quality.

After:
To solve the problem and keep the basement dry year-round, our team installed a full WaterGuard® perimeter drainage system along the footing to capture groundwater before it reached the floor surface. A new UltraSump® system was set in a sealed liner with IceGuard® and a buried discharge line to ensure reliable pumping even in freezing conditions. Finally, a CleanSpace® wall system was applied to direct moisture into the drain and create a bright, clean finish.

Now, the Waupun basement remains dry, protected, and ready for safe use—no matter the season.
