Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Before
The homeowner in Little Chute, WI was in the process of remodeling their basement but continued to experience water intrusion along the foundation walls. Although an existing sump pump was present, it was not effectively managing groundwater seepage, especially during heavy rain and seasonal snowmelt. Water entering at the wall-to-floor joint created moisture concerns that threatened finished materials and limited the homeowner’s confidence in completing the remodel.

After
Sure-Dry installed a full interior drainage solution using WaterGuard® paired with a new SuperSump® system to properly collect and discharge groundwater before it could enter the living space. The perimeter drainage system was installed along the footing to intercept water at its entry point and direct it efficiently to the sump pump for removal. This upgrade provided consistent moisture control and protected the remodeled basement without disrupting the finished layout.
The homeowner can now move forward with their basement remodel knowing the space is protected against future water intrusion.

Before

A homeowner in Little Chute, WI was dealing with moisture and water intrusion in their basement. Water entering around the perimeter and through the foundation walls was creating damp conditions and making it difficult to rely on the basement as a clean, dry part of the home.

Wisconsin's heavy rains, spring snowmelt and changing groundwater levels can saturate the soil surrounding a foundation. As pressure builds, groundwater can find its way through cracks, porous foundation materials and the vulnerable joint where the basement wall meets the floor.

Because water was affecting multiple areas of the basement, the homeowner needed a complete system that could manage both wall moisture and groundwater entering around the perimeter.

After

Sure-Dry installed WaterGuard® along the interior perimeter of the basement. WaterGuard intercepts groundwater entering near the foundation and wall-floor joint and provides a controlled drainage path toward the sump system.

We also installed CleanSpace® along the basement walls. The durable liner provides a clean, bright barrier over the foundation walls while directing moisture that enters through the wall down into the WaterGuard drainage system instead of allowing it to reach the basement floor.

The collected water is then directed into a SuperSump®, where it is pumped safely away from the foundation.

The three components work together as one waterproofing system: CleanSpace manages moisture coming through the walls, WaterGuard captures and channels incoming water, and SuperSump removes it from the home.

With the installation complete, this Little Chute homeowner now has a cleaner, drier and better-protected basement with a system designed to manage water from the foundation walls all the way to its safe removal from the home.

Before:
A homeowner in Combined Locks, WI was dealing with ongoing basement water problems every time it rained or snow melted. Water entered along the perimeter where the floor met the wall, leaving damp spots and musty odors. The existing sump system was outdated and couldn’t keep up with the volume, leading to standing water and high humidity throughout the lower level.

After:
To permanently fix the issue, our team installed a complete WaterGuard® interior drainage system tied into a TripleSafe® Sump System for maximum pumping capacity and redundancy. Outside, an IceGuard® discharge fitting was added to protect against winter freeze-ups and prevent backups during cold weather.

Now, the Combined Locks basement stays consistently dry and protected, no matter the season—giving the homeowners peace of mind and a clean, usable space year-round.
