Before:
A homeowner in Port Washington, WI was experiencing recurring basement water intrusion during heavy rains and snowmelt. Moisture was entering along the wall-floor joint, and the foundation walls showed dampness and staining from lake-effect humidity. The existing sump setup lacked the capacity and redundancy needed for peak groundwater conditions. Without proper drainage or wall protection, the basement remained susceptible to seepage and elevated humidity.
After:
Sure-Dry installed a TripleSafe™ sump pump system to provide reliable, three-level pumping protection, including an automatic battery backup. Along the leaking walls, CleanSpace® wall vapor barrier was installed to seal and direct moisture downward. A perimeter WaterGuard® drainage system was added to capture seepage and channel it directly into the new TripleSafe system.
The basement is now dry, protected, and equipped to handle Port Washington’s seasonal groundwater fluctuations.

Our team installed a WaterGuard System all along these basement walls below the foundations footing. This system will collect any water that seeps down from the walls and will discharge it to the sump pump. 

Before: Water Intrusion Threatens Home Value and Safety

A homeowner in Oostburg, WI had been dealing with persistent basement moisture for years. After every heavy rainfall, water would seep in along the base of the walls and pool across the floor. The issue not only made storage impossible but also raised concerns about mold growth and foundation damage.

The basement had no existing sump pump system, and their concrete slab was beginning to show signs of deterioration. The homeowner reached out to Sure-Dry looking for a long-term solution that could keep the space dry year-round.
