When Oshkosh got hit by unexpected flooding, this homeowner faced a daunting challenge—a waterlogged basement, as you can see in our "before" photo. Flooding can bring life to a standstill, but not for long when Sure-Dry steps in. We rolled up our sleeves, and with the installation of WaterGuard and SuperSump, we turned crisis into comfort. Notice in the "after" photo: a dry, safe basement ready to withstand whatever Mother Nature throws its way. Here at Sure-Dry, we’re committed to washing away your worries and reinforcing your peace of mind.

In Oshkosh, WI, this homeowner faced a common dread: a flooded basement, as noticeable in the before photo. Despite the mess, hope wasn't lost. We at Sure-Dry stepped in, armed with our WaterGuard and SuperSump solutions. The after photo illustrates the transformation — a dry, flood-resistant basement restored to its former glory. Through our expertise, we turned what was a soggy predicament into a safely guarded, dry space, ensuring peace of mind and a problem solved for good.

Ultra Sump Pump with Battery Back-up and check valve installed to assist current sump pump with water volume and provide homeowners with peace of mind if the power goes out.

Of course, in many cases water issues in the basement are caused by severe weather that can knock out power. With that in mind, we created the UltraSump® Battery Backup System to ensure continued protection no matter what happens. In the event of loss of power the battery backup will automatically kick in and begin removing water from your basement, preventing a flood. The UltraSump® system can pump out in excess of 11,500 gallons of water on a fully charged battery, which is enough water to fill a small swimming pool!

The battery backup also comes with an alarm to alert you in case of power failure, sounding when the backup pump is running and silencing when power is restored. This alarm also protects you in case the main system is accidentally unplugged, which could otherwise leave your basement unprotected. The UltraSump® can outlast generic backup pumps many times over, and an additional battery can be attached for further protection.

Before:

A homeowner in Clintonville was dealing with water leaking into their basement during heavy rains and snowmelt. The existing sump system was unreliable, and downspouts were discharging too close to the foundation, allowing water to re-enter the home. The damp conditions created a constant concern about flooding and long-term moisture damage.

After:

Sure-Dry installed a complete waterproofing system that included a TripleSafe™ sump pump for reliable protection, a WaterGuard® interior drainage system to capture water at the foundation’s edge, and IceGuard® with buried downspouts to carry discharge water safely away from the home.

The homeowner now has a dry, dependable basement and the peace of mind that their waterproofing system will perform year-round — even in freezing conditions.

We installed WaterGuard for effective drainage and CleanSpace to seal and protect.
