Before & After Photos

After a heavy rain, these homeowners in Two Rivers, WI went down into their basement and saw what all homeowners pray they don't see after a heavy rain...water.  With water seeping in between the footing and the block foundation wall, they soon realized they needed something in place to catch the water coming and a system to drain it out and away from their home. 

Sure-Dry Basement Systems restored their piece of mind by installing a comprehensive system that provided them with complete water protection.  First, a sump pump was installed that allowed any water coming into the home to drain and discharge away from the house.  Sure-Dry then installed their WaterGuard water drainage system to catch the water coming in from between the footing and the wall, and direct that water to the sump pump where it would drain and discharge away from the home. 

To create a vapor barrier between the basement walls and the house and to catch any water coming in from the walls and direct to the WaterGuard System, Sure-Dry installed their patented BrightWall basement wall panels.  

BrightWall® is 100% waterproof and washable, and it creates a vapor barrier on your basement walls to block out water vapor and humidity. This ensures that you won't have to worry about mold growth or rot. Like our other wall products, it can direct water seepage into your perimeter drain.

Before: Leaking Walls & an Outdated Sump Pump

In Appleton, WI, this homeowner had grown tired of battling a wet basement. Water was leaking through the foundation walls, especially during heavy rain, and their old sump pump couldn’t keep up. The damp conditions were starting to damage belongings and raise concerns about mold and long-term moisture problems.

After: Dry, Protected & Worry-Free

To solve the water intrusion once and for all, our team installed a complete waterproofing system:

• WaterGuard® interior drainage to collect water from the base of the walls and direct it away from the basement

• A new sump pump with UltraSump® battery backup system to keep the basement protected—even during power outages or pump failure

With this system in place, the basement is now clean, dry, and ready for use year-round—no more worrying every time it rains.

Before:
A homeowner in Two Rivers, WI was experiencing repeated basement water intrusion along the wall-floor joint during heavy rains and spring snowmelt. The foundation walls showed signs of moisture staining, and humidity levels were elevated due to the lake-influenced climate. Their existing sump solution lacked capacity and redundancy, leaving the basement vulnerable during power outages or high groundwater events.
After:
Sure-Dry installed CleanSpace® wall vapor barrier along the leaking basement walls to prevent moisture from entering the living space and to direct any seepage downward. A WaterGuard® interior drainage system was installed along the perimeter to capture water at the cove joint and route it efficiently to a new TripleSafe™ sump pump system.
The basement is now dry, controlled, and protected from future water intrusion.

Before:
A homeowner in Two Rivers, WI was dealing with persistent crawl space moisture, musty odors, and cold floors above the home. The exposed soil and unsealed rim joists allowed damp outside air and lake-influenced humidity to enter the space, leading to insulation damage and elevated wood moisture levels. Seasonal freeze–thaw conditions continued to worsen the crawl space environment, affecting comfort and energy efficiency throughout the home.
After:
Sure-Dry installed CleanSpace® vapor barrier across the crawl space floor and walls to create a continuous, sealed barrier against moisture intrusion. The rim joists were air-sealed using RimTight™ insulation to eliminate drafts, improve the thermal boundary, and protect the structural framing from humid outside air.
The crawl space is now clean, dry, and energy-efficient, improving comfort and long-term durability for the home.
