Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Before
The homeowner in Shawano, WI was dealing with recurring basement water intrusion along the perimeter during heavy rain and seasonal snowmelt. Moisture was entering at the wall-to-floor joint, leaving damp concrete surfaces and raising concerns about long-term foundation moisture and basement usability.
Inspection confirmed active seepage caused by hydrostatic pressure at the footing, with no interior drainage system in place to capture groundwater before it reached the basement interior.

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 safely to a new SuperSump® sump pump system. The system was installed below the basement slab to remain out of sight while providing continuous water management during heavy rain events common in Shawano County.
The basement is now dry, protected, and able to withstand future groundwater intrusion with reliable long-term performance.

Before
The homeowner in Shawano, WI had ongoing basement water issues caused by groundwater intrusion along the perimeter walls during heavy rain and seasonal snowmelt. Moisture was entering at the wall-to-floor joint, leaving damp concrete surfaces and contributing to elevated humidity and visible wall moisture.
Inspection confirmed hydrostatic pressure at the footing and unprotected foundation walls, allowing water vapor and seepage to impact the basement environment.

After
Sure-Dry installed a complete basement waterproofing system, starting with the WaterGuard® interior drainage system to capture groundwater at the footing and direct it to a new UltraSump® battery backup sump pump for dependable water removal during power outages and heavy storms. To address wall moisture and vapor penetration, CleanSpace® wall vapor barrier was installed, creating a sealed, moisture-resistant surface along the foundation walls.
The basement is now dry, controlled, and protected from both liquid water and moisture vapor intrusion.

The homeowner in Shawano, WI experienced basement water concerns during heavy rain events, particularly when the existing sump system struggled to keep up with rising groundwater levels. Limited pumping capacity and a lack of backup protection increased the risk of water intrusion during storms and potential power outages.
Inspection identified the need for improved pumping reliability and a more effective discharge method to move water safely away from the foundation.

After
Sure-Dry upgraded the basement sump system by installing a primary SuperSump® pump paired with an UltraSump® battery backup system to provide continuous protection during power loss or peak water conditions. New buried discharge lines were installed to route water well away from the foundation, reducing the risk of recirculation and soil saturation near the home.
The sump system now delivers reliable, redundant pumping performance with proper exterior water management, keeping the basement protected in all conditions.

Before
Water intrusion along one basement wall had become an ongoing problem for this Shawano, WI homeowner. After heavy rains and seasonal snowmelt, water would seep in where the floor and wall met, leaving damp concrete and raising concerns about moisture damage to the basement. During the inspection, our System Design Specialist identified water entering at the cove joint, documented moisture readings, and evaluated drainage conditions around the affected wall. Wisconsin's freeze-thaw cycles and fluctuating groundwater levels were allowing hydrostatic pressure to force water into the basement. To permanently capture and remove the water before it reached the living space, Sure-Dry recommended installing the WaterGuard Interior Drainage System along the problem wall and a SuperSump Sump Pump System.

After
Our basement waterproofing specialists installed the WaterGuard Interior Drainage System along the affected basement wall to intercept water entering through the foundation before it could reach the floor. The drainage system was connected to a newly installed SuperSump Sump Pump System, which efficiently collects and pumps groundwater safely away from the home. Unlike traditional drain tile that can clog with soil and debris, WaterGuard is engineered to remain free-flowing while providing reliable long-term performance. The completed basement waterproofing system eliminated water intrusion along the problem wall and gave the homeowners confidence that their basement will remain dry through Wisconsin's changing weather conditions.

Before
This Shawano, WI homeowner was dealing with ongoing basement moisture and water intrusion that had begun affecting the condition of the foundation walls. Water was entering along the wall-floor joint, leaving damp surfaces and creating concerns about mold, musty odors, and future damage to the finished areas of the basement. During the inspection, our System Design Specialist documented moisture readings, identified water intrusion at the cove joint, and evaluated how Wisconsin's freeze-thaw cycles and hydrostatic pressure were allowing groundwater to enter the home. To provide a complete basement waterproofing solution, Sure-Dry recommended installing the WaterGuard Interior Drainage System, a SuperSump Sump Pump System, and the CleanSpace Wall Vapor Barrier System.

After
Our basement waterproofing crew installed the WaterGuard Interior Drainage System around the affected areas of the basement to intercept groundwater before it reached the floor. The system was connected to a dependable SuperSump Sump Pump System, providing reliable water removal from the home. To complete the project, the foundation walls were covered with the CleanSpace Wall Vapor Barrier System, creating a clean, bright appearance while directing any wall moisture into the WaterGuard drainage system below. Together, these professionally installed basement waterproofing products provide long-term moisture control, help reduce humidity, and protect the basement from future water intrusion, even during Wisconsin's challenging weather conditions.
