Basement Waterproofing Case Studies: Protecting A Basement From Flooding In Irma, WI

Challenge

The basement of this home in Irma, WI was flooded and had no system in place to collect and discharge the water away from the home.  

Solution

To give these homeowners piece of mind, Sure-Dry Basement Systems installed their SuperSump® Premier Pump System. It is engineered to help keep the basement dry and healthy for extended periods of time, even in times of heavy water intrusion. The SuperSump® includes a powerful Zoeller® ⅓ horsepower cast-iron sump pump, capable of pumping 2,220 gallons of water per hour at an 8-foot head out of your basement.

To ensure the water being pumped by the SuperSump® Sump Pump was discharging a safe distance from the home, Sure-Dry installed buried discharge lines to ensure that the water was draining far enough away so that it wouldn't find its way back toward the home.

To ensure the water getting into the basement was being collected and directed to the SuperSump® Premier Pump System, Sure-Dry installed their WaterGuard® system.  The WaterGuard® system collects water that seeps through basement walls and drains it to your sump pump. The system installs quickly and has a clean finished appearance, meaning you don't have to worry about having an unsightly drain around the basement. WaterGuard® works for both block walls and poured concrete, ensuring that your basement remains dry in all situations.
