Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Before:
A homeowner in Manitowoc, WI was dealing with recurring basement water intrusion made worse by lake-effect moisture and seasonal freeze–thaw cycles. The basement showed perimeter seepage during rains, pooling near the slab edges, and visible staining along the foundation walls. Musty odors and elevated humidity were becoming more noticeable, and inspection confirmed inadequate drainage paired with unprotected, moisture-absorbing wall surfaces that contributed to ongoing water issues.
After:
Sure-Dry installed a SuperSump® system paired with a full perimeter WaterGuard® interior drainage system to capture and redirect water before it reached the basement floor. To address wall moisture and improve long-term protection, CleanSpace® vapor barrier was installed along the basement walls, providing a sealed, durable, and waterproof surface.
With these systems in place, the basement remains dry, cleaner, and protected from future water intrusion.

Before
The homeowner in Manitowoc, WI had a finished basement experiencing recurring moisture issues during heavy rain and seasonal snowmelt. Water intrusion along the foundation perimeter and elevated humidity levels put finished walls, flooring, and overall indoor air quality at risk.
Inspection confirmed hydrostatic pressure at the footing and the need for improved water management and humidity control to protect the finished basement long-term.

After
Sure-Dry installed a complete basement waterproofing and moisture control system, including the WaterGuard® interior drainage system to capture groundwater at the footing and direct it to a new SuperSump® primary sump pump paired with an UltraSump® battery backup system for protection during power outages. To control humidity and protect finished materials, a Sedona® SaniDry dehumidifier was installed to maintain consistent, dry conditions year-round.
The finished basement is now dry, protected, and comfortable, with layered water protection and reliable humidity control in place.

Before
The homeowner in Manitowoc, WI experienced recurring basement water intrusion during heavy rain and seasonal snowmelt. Water was entering along the foundation perimeter at the wall-to-floor joint, creating damp conditions and concern about long-term moisture damage.
Inspection confirmed hydrostatic pressure at the footing and the absence of a reliable interior drainage and sump system to properly manage groundwater.

After
Sure-Dry installed a complete basement waterproofing solution, including the WaterGuard® interior drainage system to capture groundwater at the footing level and direct it to a new TripleSafe™ sump pump system. The TripleSafe system provides primary pumping power with built-in backup protection to handle high water volumes and power outages.
The basement is now dry, protected, and equipped with dependable, layered water management.

Homeowners in Manitowoc wanted to move some of their boxes and items out of their garage so they could pull two cars into their garage. However, their basement had many puddles and areas of water damage, making it unsafe to put their valuables down there. But worst of all, anytime there was a heavy rainstorm their basement would become quite flooded and they needed a solution. So that night they got on the phone and gave Sure-Dry a call. 

Our crew arrived in just a few days and applied our TripleSafe Sump Pump. Our TripleSafe Sump Pump provides three levels of protection for your basement. There are three powerful pumps for heavy volumes of water so you won't ever have to worry about your basement flooding. In fact, one of these pumps even works when the power goes out. It is battery operated so even during a nasty rain storm and your power goes out you won't have to worry about your basement flooding because you will have a heavy duty pump already set-up in your basement. 

These homeowners are happy to know they can take full advantage of their storage space in their basement now and not ever have to worry about their prized possessions getting destroyed!

Before:
A Denmark homeowner was dealing with recurring basement water after storms, with seepage appearing along the wall–floor joint. Their existing sump couldn’t keep up during heavy rains, and winter brought a new risk: the exterior discharge line could freeze and back up water into the basement.

After:
We installed the WaterGuard® interior drainage system around the basement perimeter to capture seepage at its point of entry. Collected water now drains to a TripleSafe® sump system that provides three layers of protection—primary pump for everyday flow, a secondary pump for peak demand, and a battery-backup pump for power outages. To prevent winter backups, we added IceGuard® anti-freeze fittings on the exterior discharge.

If the line freezes, IceGuard safely vents water away from the home instead of back into the basement. The result is a dry, reliable basement year-round.
