Before & After Photos

"Facing water troubles, the basement in this Dunbar home was far from finishing-ready – a concern for any homeowner dreaming of that extra living space. Enter our team at Sure-Dry: with WaterGuard expertly installed (notice in the photo the seamless integration along the perimeter), we turned what was once a damp deterrent into a dry, welcoming canvas ready for transformation. Now, the space stands as a testament to endurance and our commitment to reliable, lasting solutions."

Their old sump pump was uncovered which made it super easy for water to accumulate around the base of the sump pump. Which is why we installed the TripleSafe Sump Pump. This sump pump is tightly sealed eliminating any chance of water or radon gas coming up. As well as, it has three powerful pumps to always guarantee these homeowners a dry basement!

Before:
A homeowner in Luxemburg was dealing with damp, musty basement walls and periodic seepage after storms. Efflorescence and odors crept into the living space, and they worried about reliability if the power went out during heavy rain.

After:
We installed the CleanSpace® wall system around the basement perimeter—sealing seams and mechanically fastening the liner to block vapor and channel wall moisture to the home’s drainage path. We also upgraded the pumping equipment to a TripleSafe® sump system with a primary pump, high-capacity secondary, and a battery-backup pump under a sealed lid with alarm.

Now the basement stays clean, dry, and ready for storage year-round—with peace of mind during outages.

Before the project, the homeowner in Crystal Falls, MI was dealing with recurring water seepage at the cove joint where the basement floor meets the walls, along with cold, damp foundation surfaces. During heavy rains and spring snowmelt, water tracked along the slab edge and collected in low areas, leaving efflorescence and a musty odor throughout the basement. The exposed concrete walls contributed to condensation and made the space feel chilly and humid, limiting how the homeowner could safely store belongings or consider future finishing. An existing sump pump system was basic and offered no redundancy, leaving the homeowner concerned about performance during major storms or power interruptions—typical of wet basement repair needs in Upper Michigan.

After Sure-Dry completed the work, the basement was protected by a coordinated system that manages water at the walls, floor, and sump basin. Along the footing, a WaterGuard® interior French drain was installed to intercept groundwater and cove joint seepage before it can reach the floor surface. The walls were then lined with a CleanSpace® wall system to create a bright, durable vapor barrier that directs any wall moisture down into the drainage channel while improving the appearance and feel of the space. All collected water is routed to a new TripleSafe® sump pump system, providing multiple levels of pump protection in a sealed basin to handle everyday flow, high-demand events, and power outages.
The homeowner now has a drier, brighter, and more comfortable basement in Crystal Falls, MI, with groundwater, wall moisture, and sump discharge managed by an integrated waterproofing system designed for Upper Peninsula conditions.

IceGuard installed at customer's home to prevent frozen pipes and ensure that any water that the sump pump is removing from the basement is safely cleared away outside your home, preventing any backed-up or frozen lines.
