Local Basement & Crawl Space Waterproofing Contractor in Ogema, WI

The Challenge: “The basement always smelled damp, and we didn’t know where water was coming from.”

A family in Ogema, Wisconsin had grown frustrated with a chronically damp basement. Water would seep in during every spring thaw or summer storm, leaving musty odors and concern for mold growth. Even worse, the home had no sump system in place—and they had no idea where discharged water would go on their sloping lot.

They called Sure-Dry looking for a permanent, clean solution.

The Fix: Drainage + Pumping + Exterior Protection

Our team designed and installed a full waterproofing system featuring:

• WaterGuard® interior drainage, installed just under the basement floor along the wall edges, to capture and redirect incoming water

• An UltraSump® battery backup sump pump system, ensuring continuous protection even during outages or heavy storms

• A buried exterior discharge line with a frost-proof LawnScape™ outlet to direct water away from the home’s foundation

The work was completed in just two days with minimal disruption to the home or landscaping.

The Result

The basement is now clean, dry, and finally ready for storage and future remodeling. The homeowner was especially relieved to know that:

• The UltraSump would keep working during power outages

• The buried discharge line would quietly and efficiently carry water away without flooding the yard or causing soil washout

Sure-Dry’s system gave this Ogema homeowner not just a dry basement—but real confidence in their home's protection.

The Challenge: “The wall was bowing more every year.”

A homeowner in Ogema, WI reached out to Sure-Dry after watching one of their basement walls bow inward more dramatically each winter. Cracks were widening, paint was peeling from water intrusion, and the homeowner was increasingly worried about the possibility of wall collapse.

They needed a structural fix—not just a patch job.

Our Solution: Geo-Lock Wall Anchor Installation

After a detailed inspection, our team recommended the Geo-Lock® Wall Anchor System, which stabilizes and supports foundation walls affected by hydrostatic pressure and shifting soils.

The installation process involved:

• Carefully excavating small areas outside the home to place galvanized steel earth anchors

• Drilling through the basement walls and attaching interior wall plates

• Securing the system with threaded rods that can be periodically tightened

The system was installed in a single day with minimal disruption to the lawn or landscaping.

The Result

The wall was immediately stabilized, and the home was safe once again. Over time, the homeowner can schedule slight adjustments to help gradually straighten the wall. The fix was not only effective—it was also affordable and backed by a transferable warranty for added peace of mind.

Celene's basement walls were cracked from expanding soil causing forward movement to the foundation walls.  Geo-Lock Wall Anchors were installed by Sure-Dry to prevent further movement and straighten the walls back to their original place.
