Before & After Photos

Before:
A homeowner in Marathon was seeing water along the wall–floor (cove) joint after storms. Musty odors lingered, the old pump felt unreliable during power flickers, and the above-grade discharge line risked freezing and backing water into the basement.

After:
We installed WaterGuard® interior perimeter drainage to capture seepage at the cove joint and route it to a new UltraSump® system with a sealed lid, alarm, and battery backup for outages. Outside, we added IceGuard® freeze-protection fittings and trenched a buried discharge line to carry water safely away from the foundation with a clean, low-profile finish.

Now the basement stays dry and usable year-round with dependable pumping and freeze-resistant discharge.

Before:
A homeowner in Marathon had a damp, musty crawl space with exposed soil and porous foundation walls. Humidity crept into the living space and the floors above felt chilly—especially in winter.

After:
We installed CleanSpace® across the crawl space floor and up the walls (wrapping piers and sealing all seams) to create a continuous vapor barrier, then added SilverGlo® rigid foam insulation on the walls for lasting thermal performance.

The crawl space is now dry, sealed, and insulated—improving comfort, reducing odors, and helping the home maintain healthy humidity year-round.

Before:
A homeowner in Marathon, WI, began to notice water stains and dampness forming along one wall of their basement after heavy rains. Moisture was seeping through the porous foundation, causing discoloration and a musty odor. While the issue wasn’t causing standing water, the homeowner wanted to prevent further seepage and humidity from damaging the basement over time.

After:
Sure-Dry installed a WaterGuard® Interior Drainage System along the affected perimeter to capture groundwater before it reached the basement floor. The system was connected to a newly installed SuperSump® sump pump, which efficiently removes collected water and discharges it safely outside the home. To address wall moisture, the team installed the CleanSpace® Wall System, a bright, durable vapor barrier that prevents water vapor from entering the basement and directs any wall seepage into the WaterGuard system.
Together, these three systems created a fully integrated waterproofing solution—keeping the basement dry, clean, and protected against future moisture issues.

Before:
A homeowner in Kronenwetter, WI, contacted Sure-Dry to have a sump pump installed as a preventative measure. Although the basement had never shown signs of water intrusion or dampness, the homeowner wanted the peace of mind that comes with knowing the home was protected in case groundwater levels or weather conditions changed over time. The newly constructed home did not include a sump system, leaving it without a way to manage potential future water buildup.

After:
Sure-Dry installed a SuperSump® system—an efficient, durable sump pump designed to handle high volumes of groundwater and keep basements dry under any conditions. The crew placed a new sump basin and discharge line to ensure water would be safely directed away from the foundation.
Now, the homeowner can rest easy knowing the home has built-in protection against potential groundwater or rain-related seepage, providing long-term security and value for the property.

Before
The homeowner in Kronenwetter, WI was experiencing repeated water intrusion along the basement perimeter whenever there was heavy rain or snowmelt. Water tracked in at the cove joint where the floor meets the wall, leaving efflorescence, damp spots along the slab edge, and a persistent musty basement odor that made the space unsuitable for storage or future finishing. An older sump pump in a shallow pit operated without any continuous interior drain tile, so hydrostatic pressure under the slab simply pushed groundwater to the path of least resistance at the wall-floor joint. This created an ongoing wet basement repair concern typical of Wisconsin homes with rising groundwater and inadequate interior drainage.

After
Sure-Dry installed a WaterGuard® interior drainage system along the problem basement walls, placing the channel at the footing to intercept groundwater before it can reach the finished surface. The WaterGuard system was connected to a new SuperSump® pump system featuring a durable liner, airtight lid, and a high-capacity pump engineered for reliable sump pump installation in Wisconsin basements. After the drainage channel and sump connections were completed, the crew restored the concrete over the trench to leave a clean, finished floor edge while providing a long-term interior drainage system basement solution for this Kronenwetter, WI home.
The homeowner now has a dry, healthier basement environment and confidence that this basement waterproofing system will protect their property through future storms and Marathon County snowmelt cycles.
