Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Before

A homeowner in Cedar Grove, WI was dealing with ongoing water intrusion in their basement, especially during heavy rain and seasonal snowmelt—common conditions that often lead homeowners to search for basement waterproofing Wisconsin or wet basement repair Wisconsin solutions. Water would seep in along the perimeter of the basement floor, creating damp conditions, musty odors, and concerns about long-term damage. Without a proper drainage system in place, hydrostatic pressure from saturated soil pushed water through the wall-floor joint, allowing moisture to collect inside the home.
Although the home had an older sump pump system, it was not effectively managing the volume of water entering the basement. There was no interior drainage system to capture and direct water, leaving the homeowner relying on temporary solutions. Like many homes in Sheboygan County, the combination of clay-heavy soil and freeze-thaw cycles contributed to persistent moisture issues that continued to worsen over time.

After
To provide a long-term basement waterproofing solution, Sure-Dry installed the WaterGuard Interior Drainage System along the basement perimeter. This system was designed to intercept groundwater seepage at the wall-floor joint before it could reach the basement floor, relieving pressure and directing water safely away. The system sits below the surface of the floor, keeping it out of sight while effectively managing water intrusion.
To ensure reliable water removal, the team also installed the SuperSump Sump Pump System to replace the outdated pump. This high-performance system provides consistent pumping power and improved reliability, ensuring water collected by the drainage system is efficiently discharged away from the home.
The homeowner now has a clean, dry basement supported by a proven system, delivering long-term protection and peace of mind.

Before
A homeowner in Cedar Grove, WI began noticing signs of a failing poured concrete foundation, including inward wall movement and visible cracking—common indicators that often lead homeowners to search for foundation repair Wisconsin or bowing wall repair Wisconsin solutions. At the same time, water intrusion had become an ongoing issue in the basement, especially during heavy rains and seasonal snowmelt, contributing to a wet basement repair Wisconsin concern. Without a proper interior drainage system, water would collect along the perimeter, increasing hydrostatic pressure against already compromised walls. Like many homes in Sheboygan County, this combination of structural stress and unmanaged water created a compounding problem that worsened over time.
In addition to structural concerns, the lack of an effective basement waterproofing system meant water had no controlled path for removal. The existing sump pump was present but not properly connected to a perimeter drainage solution, limiting its effectiveness. The homeowner was dealing with both foundation instability and recurring moisture—two issues that often go hand-in-hand in Wisconsin’s clay soils and freeze-thaw cycles.

After
To address both the structural and waterproofing concerns, Sure-Dry installed the PowerBrace Wall Stabilization System to permanently stabilize the failing poured foundation walls. These adjustable steel beams were custom-fit to the basement height and securely anchored to the framing above, allowing for immediate stabilization and the potential for gradual wall straightening over time. Installation included torque verification to ensure each brace met structural performance standards, a key step in long-term foundation repair contractor work in Wisconsin.
To resolve the water intrusion, the team installed the WaterGuard Interior Drainage System along the basement perimeter to capture groundwater seepage before it reached the floor. The system was designed to channel water directly into the home’s existing sump pump system, maximizing efficiency without requiring full replacement. This integrated basement waterproofing Wisconsin solution provided a clean, concealed drainage path while relieving pressure at the wall-floor joint.
The homeowner now has a stabilized foundation and a reliable system to keep the basement dry, providing long-term protection and peace of mind.

Before
A homeowner in Cedar Grove, WI was experiencing ongoing basement water intrusion, especially during heavy rains and seasonal snowmelt—common conditions that often lead homeowners to search for basement waterproofing Wisconsin or wet basement repair Wisconsin solutions. Water was entering along the foundation walls and collecting at the floor perimeter, creating damp conditions, musty odors, and concern for long-term damage. The block walls also showed signs of moisture penetration, contributing to an unhealthy basement environment.
The existing sump pump system struggled to keep up with incoming water and lacked a reliable backup, leaving the homeowner vulnerable during power outages or high-volume events. Without a proper interior drainage system or wall protection, water intrusion continued to worsen—an issue commonly seen in homes throughout Sheboygan County due to clay soils and freeze-thaw cycles.

After
To provide a complete basement waterproofing solution, Sure-Dry installed the WaterGuard Interior Drainage System along the perimeter to capture water at the wall-floor joint and direct it safely away before it could reach the basement floor. This system works below the surface, keeping the space clean while effectively managing groundwater intrusion.
To ensure reliable water removal, the team installed the SuperSump Sump Pump System along with the UltraSump Battery Backup System, providing protection even during power outages or high water volume events. Additionally, the CleanSpace Wall Vapor Barrier System was installed on the basement walls to prevent moisture vapor from entering the space and to direct any wall seepage into the drainage system.
The homeowner now has a clean, dry, and protected basement with a fully integrated system designed for long-term performance and peace of mind.
