Westfield, WI's Dependable Contractor for Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repair

After inspection, we found widespread air leakage at the rim joists and a sump system that lacked redundancy. Our crew first prepared the rim area and installed RimTight™ around the entire band joist, creating a continuous air and thermal seal to reduce drafts, condensation, and musty odors.

Next, we replaced the old pit with a TripleSafe® sump: the primary pump handles everyday flow, a secondary pump adds capacity during peak events, and a battery-powered third pump provides protection during outages. We tested the system, verified head height and check valves, and confirmed a clean, airtight finish at the lid.

With the rim sealed and the pumping system upgraded, the homeowner gained a more comfortable basement and a dependable safeguard against future water episodes.

When the Westfield homeowner contacted us, they were weighing deck footing options and worried about the reliability of shallow concrete in variable soils. After reviewing the site, we recommended helical piers to transfer deck loads to competent strata below frost depth.

On install day, our crew laid out the post locations, set lead sections, and advanced the helical piers with a calibrated drive head, monitoring torque to verify capacity at depth. Once each pier reached the required torque, we trimmed to elevation and installed new-construction caps aligned to the deck plan. Because helical piers are immediately load-ready, the homeowner’s builder could begin setting posts and framing right away—no curing delays and no excavation mess.

This approach delivered a cleaner jobsite, a faster build, and a foundation that won’t be undermined by seasonal movement—giving the homeowner confidence that their new deck will stay true and level.

The basement of this home in Westfield, WI had major water issues.  Water was finding its way into the basement between the foundation walls and footing, and was also coming through the floor itself due to the hydrostatic pressure around the home's foundation.  With no system in place to collect the water coming in, and with no sump pump to drain and discharge the water away from the home, the water was pooling on the basement floor, causing damage to the items the homeowners had stored in the basement.  

To collect the water coming into the basement from between the footing and foundation walls, 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.

To discharge the water being collected by the WaterGuard system , Sure-Dry 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. The SuperSump® can also be installed with an optional UltraSump® Battery Backup Sump Pump, which can pump out 11,500 gallons or more on a single charge!
