Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Before:
A homeowner in Eagle River, WI contacted Sure-Dry after repeated basement water issues that worsened during spring thaw and heavy Northwoods rainfall. Water was entering at the floor-wall joint and spreading across the slab, leaving behind damp areas, musty odors, and moisture staining. Their existing sump system lacked the reliability needed to keep up with fluctuating groundwater levels typical of the region.

After:
Sure-Dry installed a new SuperSump® system along with a full perimeter WaterGuard® interior drainage system to collect and channel seepage directly to the upgraded pump. Together, these components created a controlled drainage path designed to handle Eagle River’s seasonal water challenges.
The homeowner now has a dry, dependable basement system that performs consistently throughout northern Wisconsin’s wettest months.

The basement of this home in Eagle River, WI had an old sump pump that was having trouble keeping up with the amount of water it was pumping.  

To give the homeowners peace of mind, 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:
The homeowners in Land O’ Lakes were experiencing persistent basement water intrusion, high humidity, and musty odors throughout their lower level. During the inspection, water was entering along the footing-wall joint, insulation had deteriorated, and outside air was leaking through the rim joists. The basement’s temperature and moisture swings — common in Vilas County’s deep-freeze winters and wet spring thaws — were leading to condensation, cold floors, and poor air quality.

After:
Sure-Dry installed the WaterGuard® interior drainage system to capture groundwater seepage and directed it to a TripleSafe® sump pump for reliable pumping performance. A buried discharge line moved water safely away from the home. To address air leakage, RimTight™ sealing was applied at the perimeter, and SilverGlo® insulation improved thermal performance along the walls. Three Sedona SaniDry® units were added to maintain controlled humidity across the full basement footprint.
The upgraded system now keeps the Land O’ Lakes basement dry, insulated, and protected year-round.

Before: Damp Basement, No Sump Pump—A Hidden Risk

When a homeowner in Greenville, WI bought their home, they were surprised to discover it didn’t have a sump pump—especially since they lived in an area known for heavy spring rain and rising groundwater. Over time, they noticed musty odors, condensation on basement walls, and occasional puddling after storms. Though there hadn't been a major flood, the risk of one felt too close for comfort.

They wanted a backup solution before water damage became a reality, and they turned to Sure-Dry LLC for expert advice.
