Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

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.

Homeowners in Spencer, WI were in need of a new solution to dry their crawlspace because laying down a tarp wasn't working.

To eliminate the dampness and water that had accumulated in the crawlspace, we encapsulated their crawlspace with our CleanSpace Wall System. Think of CleanSpace as a thick, durable pool liner. It won't let any water or any kind of moisture seep through, which then protects the foundation of the pool, just like it would a crawlspace. CleanSpace protects the inside of the crawlspace and inside of the home from water entering, which could then possibly cause mold growth. All of these reasons prove why CleanSpace is a vital product! 

Water damage solved by replacement of old sump pump with Super Sump Pump with Ultra sump battery backup system. When combined with our WaterGuard Drainage System and CleanSpace Wall Vapor Barrier this provided a fully waterproofed basement.

Before, the dampness and old sump pump in our Kennan homeowner’s basement turned it into an unusable and moldy space, as seen in the first photo. After calling us at Sure-Dry, we transformed it into a safely storabe and permanently dry area. We installed our top-of-the-line TripleSafe Sump Pump and WaterGuard system, perfectly designed to handle such challenges. Notice in the after photo how clean and dry the basement is – all set for remodeling or storage!

Recently in Colby, WI, a homeowner reached out to us with a basement taken over by water damage. As you can see in the before photo, what started as a storage space had turned into a worrying water issue. Our team jumped into action, installing our WaterGuard system alongside a SuperSump pump to tackle the problem head-on. The after photo proudly displays a dry, safe basement, ready to be part of a home again. Through diligent work, we turned a space from worry to wow, ensuring peace of mind with a lasting, robust solution.
