Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

In Florence, WI, spring showers brought more than flowers—they brought unwelcome basement flooding to this homeowner's doorstep. Notice in the before photo the distressing signs of water damage. We stepped in with our TripleSafe Sump Pump system, tailor-made to tackle even the toughest water intrusion issues. As seen in the after photo, the difference is night and day. Now, this basement is a dry, welcoming space, cozying into its role as a foundational part of a happy, healthy home.

After a heavy rain, these homeowners in Two Rivers, WI went down into their basement and saw what all homeowners pray they don't see after a heavy rain...water.  With water seeping in between the footing and the block foundation wall, they soon realized they needed something in place to catch the water coming and a system to drain it out and away from their home. 

Sure-Dry Basement Systems restored their piece of mind by installing a comprehensive system that provided them with complete water protection.  First, a sump pump was installed that allowed any water coming into the home to drain and discharge away from the house.  Sure-Dry then installed their WaterGuard water drainage system to catch the water coming in from between the footing and the wall, and direct that water to the sump pump where it would drain and discharge away from the home. 

To create a vapor barrier between the basement walls and the house and to catch any water coming in from the walls and direct to the WaterGuard System, Sure-Dry installed their patented BrightWall basement wall panels.  

BrightWall® is 100% waterproof and washable, and it creates a vapor barrier on your basement walls to block out water vapor and humidity. This ensures that you won't have to worry about mold growth or rot. Like our other wall products, it can direct water seepage into your perimeter drain.

"Facing water troubles, the basement in this Dunbar home was far from finishing-ready – a concern for any homeowner dreaming of that extra living space. Enter our team at Sure-Dry: with WaterGuard expertly installed (notice in the photo the seamless integration along the perimeter), we turned what was once a damp deterrent into a dry, welcoming canvas ready for transformation. Now, the space stands as a testament to endurance and our commitment to reliable, lasting solutions."

Their old sump pump was uncovered which made it super easy for water to accumulate around the base of the sump pump. Which is why we installed the TripleSafe Sump Pump. This sump pump is tightly sealed eliminating any chance of water or radon gas coming up. As well as, it has three powerful pumps to always guarantee these homeowners a dry basement!
