Basement Waterproofing Case Studies: Water Control in Whitelaw, WI

The basement of this home in Whitelaw, WI had major water issues.  Water was finding its way in between the foundation walls and footing, and was coming in through the basement floor itself.  On top of not having a system in place to collect and drain the water coming in, these homeowners also did not have a sump pump so they had no way to discharge the water out of the home.  

To collect the water coming in between the walls and footing, Sure-Dry Basement Systems 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. Sure-Dry also installed bleeder lines to collect and drain the water coming in from the floor.  

To discharge the water being collected by the WaterGuard system and bleeder lines, Sure-Dry installed their TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System provides three levels of protection for your basement and your peace of mind. For normal functioning, the TripleSafe™ has a powerful, cast-iron Zoeller® ⅓ horsepower sump pump set at the lowest level. For heavy volumes of water or in case of primary pump failure, a second, more powerful Zoeller® ½ hp pump set a bit higher in the liner will take over. In case of a power outage, our UltraSump® battery backup sump pump, set at the highest level, will pump 11,500 gallons or more on a fully charged battery!
