Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

The basement of this home in Random Lake, WI had water coming into the basement from between the foundation walls and footing.  With nothing in place to catch and drain the water, and no sump pump to drain the water out and away from the house, the water coming in was pooling in the basement, causing damage to the carpeting.  

To catch the water coming in, Sure-Dry Basement Systems installed their WaterGuard® system. The WaterGuard® system collects water that seeps through basement walls and drains it to your sump pump. The system installs quickly and has a clean finished appearance, meaning you don't have to worry about having an unsightly drain around the basement.

To discharge the water being collected by the WaterGuard system, Sure-Dry installed their SuperSump® Premier Pump System. 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!

In Kaukauna, WI, a homeowner struggled with persistent water issues in their finished basement, as seen in the "before" photo. Notice the damp walls hindering the room's use. We resolved this by installing our trusted WaterGuard® and TripleSafe™ Sump Pump systems. The WaterGuard sub-floor drainage channels potential water intrusions directly to the TripleSafe Sump Pump, ensuring efficient removal and keeping the basement dry. In the "after" photo, the basement is visibly drier, showcasing the reliable, long-term waterproofing solution that now offers peace of mind.

The SuperSump pump that we installed in this picture is just right for these homeowners. Their previous sump pump was uncovered which made it very easy for water to accumulate around the top of the sump pump.

The SuperSump is covered and provides full protection to keep those occasional water issues away!

This basement in Kaukauna, WI has had enough water. Their sump pump has just continually failed them during any rainstorm and they were done. 

We installed our most powerful, efficient sump pump, the TripleSafe. This sump pump has two highly powered pumps in the base of the pump. In case of power outages, there is a backup battery powered pump that will continue to run to guarantee them a dry basement always.

In Kaukauna, WI, this family was dealing with recurring water issues in their basement—especially during rainstorms. Water was seeping in through cracks in the block foundation walls, soaking the floor and ruining anything stored below. But more than just inconvenience, the moisture created a health concern: one of the homeowners has a mold allergy, and the damp environment was making things worse.

To make matters more urgent, their teenage son wanted to move his bedroom downstairs—but the current conditions made that impossible. The space was far from healthy or livable.

After: A Dry, Safe, and Livable Basement—Ready for the Future

Sure-Dry installed a complete basement waterproofing and air quality system designed to stop water at the source and prevent mold-friendly conditions.

What We Installed:

• DryTrak® baseboard drainage system, ideal for block wall foundations where standard trenching isn't an option

• A new sump pump system to remove groundwater efficiently and prevent flooding during storms

• The SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifier, which controls humidity and filters airborne mold spores, dust, and allergens

This setup not only keeps water out—it helps protect the family’s health by keeping the basement dry, clean, and mold-resistant.

Now, the basement is no longer a liability—it’s a valuable part of the home. Their son can safely move into his new lower-level room, and the entire family has peace of mind knowing the space is protected and healthy.
