Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Before our visit, this Sheboygan homeowner faced a common yet frustrating problem: a leaky basement, a sight many dread. As you can see in the 'before' photo, water intrusion was an unwelcome guest, compromising not only the integrity of their space but also their peace of mind. Enter WaterGuard, our trusted solution spotlighted in the 'after' photo. Notice how remarkably dry and inviting the basement now looks. This transformation is more than just immediate relief; it's our promise of a dependable, long-lasting resolution, perfectly aligned with our mission to deliver extraordinary customer experiences and robust solutions for your home troubles.

In Sheboygan, WI, a homeowner faced a persistent issue with their basement flooding during heavy rainfall. Frustrated by the ongoing water intrusion, they turned to Sure-Dry to reclaim their space and secure it from future issues. Their journey with us began when our Customer Care Specialist arranged a home inspection appointment. 

During the inspection, our System Design Specialist conducted a complete evaluation of the basement, diagnosing the problem with precision. It became clear that water was seeping through the foundation walls and pooling on the floor, making the area unusable and creating concerns about long-term structural damage. To address this, we tailored a comprehensive waterproofing solution incorporating our signature products: WaterGuard and SuperSump.

Our skilled production team installed the WaterGuard system as a sub-floor perimeter drainage, adeptly channeling water away from the foundation walls to prevent seepage sitting on the basement floor. This system, placed discreetly under the concrete with its subtle visibility, ensures effective drainage without causing any frequent clogging issues typically associated with traditional French drains. Enhancing the system, we installed the SuperSump Pump, featuring a reliable Zoeller pump with a built-in alarm for water overflow warnings, ensuring optimal operation during bouts of heavy precipitation.

The result was transformative. The previously damp and ineffective basement was rendered dry and secure, providing peace of mind for years to come. Free from flooding, the homeowners were now able to utilize the basement space as intended for storage or recreation. With Sure-Dry's trusted solution, they now had reliable basement protection, reinforcing our commitment to bridging trust with homeowners through lasting and impactful solutions.

A family in Howards Grove, WI was sick of having to deal with water damaging their belongings in their basement. They decided it was time to call some experts and have them take a look. They immediately got on the phone and gave Sure-Dry a call.

In just a couple days our System Design Specialist Mike Collison came out and took a look at their situation. He concluded that it would be best to have our WaterGuard System installed. Which our WaterGuard System collects water inside of the wall and takes it back outside, therefore never letting the water enter through your walls, which then causes the damage. Also, with a huge bonus of our WaterGuard System being under their concrete floor, these homeowners reluctantly won't have to worry about some big machine or product laying around in their basement getting in the way. 

The homeowners excited about solving their water issues realized they didn't like the way their walls looked because of the damage that had already been but our crew had an easy answer for them. We installed our CleanSpace Wall System which blocks out all water but also gives their wall a new, bright, clean look to them again.

Thanks to Sure-Dry these homeowners are now at peace of mind knowing their water problem is covered!

To remove the stress of a failed sump pump, our team at Sure-Dry installed the TripleSafe.

This sump pump system has two highly powered pumps that can discharge at a minimum of 5,000 gallons of water in an hour. If those two pumps still can't pump out the water, there is even an additional battery back up pump. 

Before: Constant Water Cleanup, Iron Ochre Problems & Poor Air Quality

In Suamico, WI, this homeowner was at their limit. Iron Ochre buildup was clogging their drainage system, basement water was pooling daily, and they were stuck vacuuming up water twice a day just to stay ahead of the mess. The crawl space was damp, the air was musty, and indoor humidity was affecting the entire home.

With plans to sell in a few years, the homeowner knew they needed a permanent solution—one that would eliminate water issues, improve air quality, and get the basement market-ready.

After: A Waterproofed, Insulated, and Sale-Ready Home

Sure-Dry installed a full waterproofing and indoor air improvement system designed specifically for the challenges of Iron Ochre and basement moisture.
