Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Before
The homeowner in Shiocton, WI was dealing with a wet, damp basement caused by water intrusion at the wall-to-floor joint and persistent moisture coming through the foundation walls. During periods of heavy rain and snowmelt common to Outagamie County, water would seep along the perimeter, leaving damp concrete, musty odors, and concern about long-term moisture damage. The existing sump system offered limited protection and did not provide backup support during power outages, increasing the risk of basement flooding.

After
Sure-Dry installed a full basement waterproofing system to address both liquid water and wall moisture. An interior drainage system using WaterGuard® Drainage System was installed around the basement perimeter to capture groundwater at the wall-to-floor joint and direct it safely to the sump system. A high-capacity UltraSump® battery backup sump pump system was added to ensure continuous protection during power outages and severe storms, a critical upgrade for wet basement repair in Wisconsin. To control wall moisture and improve basement air quality, CleanSpace® wall vapor barrier panels were installed, sealing the foundation walls and directing any moisture behind the system into the drainage channel.
The basement is now dry, protected, and far more comfortable, giving the homeowner reliable long-term basement waterproofing and peace of mind.

The sump pump in this Shiocton, WI home couldn't keep up with the water coming into the basement.  The homeowners needed to updgrade to a system that could handle the amount of water coming into the basement and give them piece of mind knowing that they wouldn't have to worry about their basement flooding in times of heavy water intrusion.  

To provide these homeowners with the piece of mind they were seeking, 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!

Our Sure-Dry team arrived at a home in Shawano, WI and we installed a TripleSafe Sump Pump System.

This system is the best at what it does, discharging water. There are three highly powered pumps that can discharge over 5,000 pounds of water per hour. There is even a backup battery powered pump in case the power goes out.

There is absolutely no chance of flooding with this sump pump system!

Before
The homeowner in Shawano, WI experienced recurring basement water intrusion during heavy rain and spring snowmelt, a common issue in northeastern Wisconsin where saturated soils create hydrostatic pressure along foundation footings. Water was entering at the wall-to-floor joint, leaving damp concrete surfaces and raising concerns about long-term moisture damage and reduced basement usability.
A detailed inspection confirmed active seepage along the perimeter with no interior drainage system in place to intercept groundwater before it reached the basement interior.

After
Sure-Dry installed a full interior basement waterproofing system, including the WaterGuard® interior drainage system to capture groundwater at the footing level and direct it to a new SuperSump® sump pump system for reliable discharge away from the foundation. The system was installed below the slab to remain unobtrusive while actively managing water during heavy rain events common in Shawano County.
The basement is now protected from water intrusion and remains dry and controlled year-round.

Before

The homeowner in Shawano, WI had an unfinished basement with recurring water intrusion concentrated in one corner during heavy rain events. An existing sump pump was present, but it was not effectively managing groundwater, allowing moisture to collect along the wall-to-floor joint and migrate across the slab.
Inspection confirmed localized hydrostatic pressure at the footing with no interior perimeter drainage system to intercept water before it entered the basement space.

After
Sure-Dry installed a complete interior basement waterproofing solution, including the WaterGuard® interior drainage system to collect groundwater at the footing level and direct it to a new TripleSafe™ sump pump system, replacing the existing sump. The WaterGuard system was installed below the slab around the affected area to address the corner water intrusion while remaining out of sight in the unfinished basement.
The basement now stays dry and protected during heavy rain, giving the homeowner reliable water control and long-term peace of mind.
