Before & After Photos

In Manitowoc, WI, a homeowner was struggling with a flooding basement, facing the stress of potential damage and disruption. Notice in the before photo, the evident water issues that were compromising the home's integrity and comfort. Our solution? The installation of a SuperSump system, as seen in the after photo. This powerful product transformed their space into a dry, safe foundation, relieving the homeowner's worries and providing the reliable, long-lasting solution we stand for at Sure-Dry.

When this Manitowoc homeowner discovered their basement flooded and the floor cracked under pressure, they knew it was time to call us. As you can see in the before photo, the damage seemed daunting. But with Sure-Dry's expertise, we transformed their space. We installed our WaterGuard system, evident in the after photo, guaranteeing not just a dry basement but also peace of mind. Now, their basement is a reliable, waterproof area they can trust in any weather.

Before: Finished Basement Walls Removed Due to Water Coming in from All Sides

This Manitowoc, WI homeowner had water pouring into their basement from nearly every direction. With a previously finished basement, the damage was even harder to swallow—they had to remove the bottom half of their finished walls due to extensive water intrusion and mold concerns. It wasn’t just about keeping water out; it was about restoring comfort, value, and peace of mind.

After: A Fully Waterproofed & Cleanly Restored Finished Basement

To stop the leaks for good, we installed a WaterGuard® interior drainage system around the perimeter of the basement to catch and redirect water before it could reach the living space. We added a TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System with battery backup for maximum water protection, and installed a Sedona SaniDry™ dehumidifier to keep humidity and mold at bay long-term.

Once dry, we restored the finished walls with EverLast™ Wall Restoration Panels—a mold-resistant, durable solution designed for basements. And to preserve the clean look of the space, we disguised the WaterGuard access ports with faux heat vents. This clever touch allowed the homeowner to reinstall flooring without blocking future access to the system.

Now, the basement is dry, clean, and looks just as good as it functions—ready for family use once again.

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:
A homeowner in Manitowoc, WI was experiencing persistent moisture, musty odors, and cold floors above their crawl space. The exposed soil, unsealed rim joists, and damp air common to lake-influenced climates allowed humidity and outside air to move freely into the space. Condensation was forming on wood surfaces, insulation was deteriorating, and the crawl space was contributing to poor indoor comfort and rising energy costs.
After:
Sure-Dry encapsulated the crawl space with CleanSpace® vapor barrier, sealing the walls and floor to prevent moisture and vapor intrusion. The rim joists were then sealed with RimTight™, creating an airtight thermal boundary that blocks outside air, reduces heat loss, and improves overall energy efficiency.
The crawl space is now dry, sealed, and properly insulated, providing a healthier environment and improved comfort throughout the home.
