Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Before: The basement of this Stanley, WI, home maintained an average humidity level of 58%, which is higher than the recommended range for a healthy indoor environment. Though there was no standing water, the excessive moisture led to stale air and concerns about potential mold development.

After: Sure-Dry installed a Sedona dehumidifier, designed to automatically monitor and regulate humidity levels. The Sedona’s built-in filtration system and self-draining capability now keep the basement air consistently dry and clean while reducing energy use compared to standard dehumidifiers.

The homeowner can now enjoy a comfortable, odor-free basement with humidity consistently kept at safe, controlled levels.

Before:
A homeowner in Loyal, WI was dealing with persistent basement water seepage during heavy rain and spring thaw. Moisture entered along the floor-wall joint, leaving damp spots and musty odors throughout the space. Without a proper drainage system or dependable sump pump, the basement stayed vulnerable to flooding and humidity buildup.

After:
The Sure-Dry team installed a WaterGuard® interior drainage system along the basement perimeter to collect and direct groundwater into a new SuperSump® system. Together, these components provide reliable water management and keep the basement dry, even during Wisconsin’s heaviest rains.

The homeowner now has a clean, dry, and protected basement — and confidence knowing their waterproofing system will perform for years to come.

Before:
A poured concrete foundation showed classic distress: a horizontal crack near mid-height with slight inward bowing, plus diagonal cracking from corners and light seepage at the wall–floor (cove) joint after storms. Humidity and musty odors lingered, and the aging sump offered little redundancy.

After:
We stabilized the wall with the PowerBrace™ I-beam system to resist lateral soil pressure and allow for incremental tightening toward plumb. We installed WaterGuard® interior drainage to capture cove-joint seepage and tied it into a TripleSafe® sump (primary, secondary, and battery-backup pumps under a sealed lid with alarm). We finished the walls with CleanSpace® to block vapor and direct any wall moisture into the drain.

Now the basement is structurally secure, clean, and dry—with dependable protection during heavy rains and power outages.

Before: This Spencer, WI, homeowner experienced frequent basement water seepage, especially during heavy rainfall and snowmelt. The old sump pump and drainage setup couldn’t handle the volume, resulting in damp floors and a musty odor throughout the space.

After: Sure-Dry installed a WaterGuard® interior drainage system and an UltraSump® sump pump system to provide a permanent waterproofing solution. The WaterGuard captures and redirects water to the UltraSump, which efficiently removes it from the home—even during power outages thanks to its built-in battery backup.

The homeowner now has a fully dry, protected basement and peace of mind knowing their home is safeguarded from future water damage year-round.
