Before & After Photos

In Rothschild, WI, a homeowner was troubled by water constantly seeping into their basement, causing stress and potential damage. As you can see in the "before" photo, the challenge was clear. Understanding the need for an effective and lasting solution, we installed our WaterGuard basement waterproofing system alongside a new SuperSump pump. The transformation, evident in the "after" photo, turned a damp space into a dry, functional area. We're proud to have provided this family with peace of mind and a permanently dry basement.

Before:
A homeowner in Rothschild, WI, noticed minor water seepage appearing along the basement floor after heavy rainfalls. Although the home already had a sump pump installed, the pump wasn’t effectively collecting groundwater entering around the perimeter. Over time, this moisture led to damp spots and a musty smell, signaling the need for a more comprehensive drainage solution.

After:
Sure-Dry installed a WaterGuard® Interior Drainage System along the inside perimeter of the basement to capture water at the point of entry and channel it directly into the home’s existing sump pump. The system now efficiently collects any seepage before it reaches the floor surface, allowing the sump pump to discharge it safely outside.
The result is a consistently dry, odor-free basement that’s protected from future groundwater intrusion and ready for safe storage and everyday use.

Before our team stepped in, the before photo shows a gloomy, flooded basement in Tripoli, WI, that was off-limits and unusable for the homeowners. Countless belongings were at risk, and peace of mind was washed away with every rainfall. Enter the solution - WaterGuard. As you can see in the after photo, we turned that damp despair into dry delight. This exceptional system now redirects moisture, safeguarding the space against future floods - ensuring not just a dry basement today but a safe, usable area for years to come. Thanks to Sure-Dry, the owners got back their valued home space, encapsulating our mission to deliver not just service, but a seamless, long-lasting solution.

Before: A Flooded Crawl Space and an Uncomfortable Home Above

In Tripoli, WI, this homeowner was facing persistent water and humidity issues in their crawl space. During heavy rains, the space would flood—bringing in moisture, mold risk, and musty odors that affected the home above. As an older homeowner, they were no longer able to get down into the crawl space to manage the problem, and it was clear the moisture was taking a toll on both the structure and comfort of the house.

They needed a long-term solution to eliminate water, reduce humidity, and improve the overall energy efficiency of the home—without requiring constant maintenance.

After: A Dry, Sealed, and Energy-Efficient Crawl Space

Sure-Dry installed a complete crawl space waterproofing and insulation system designed to eliminate water intrusion, control humidity, and create a healthier, more stable environment under the home.

What We Installed:

• A new sump pump system to actively remove water

• Drainage matting to direct moisture to the sump system

• CleanSpace® Vapor Barrier to seal out ground moisture and humidity

• Silverglo™ Insulation along the crawl space walls for added energy efficiency

• RimTight™ insulation at the rim joists to stop air leaks and moisture infiltration

• A SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifier to keep humidity in check year-round

• New vent covers to fully seal off exterior air and moisture

Now, the crawl space is dry, clean, and fully encapsulated, making the entire home above warmer in winter, cooler in summer, and much more comfortable overall. The homeowner no longer has to worry about water intrusion or crawl space maintenance.

Before: A homeowner in Wautoma, WI contacted Sure-Dry after ongoing basement leaks left sections of the floor damp after heavy rain. The foundation design prevented trenching along the perimeter, limiting traditional drainage options.

After: Our crew installed the DryTrak® Baseboard Drainage System, which collects and channels seepage along the wall-floor joint without requiring excavation. Water is directed to a SuperSump® Premier Pump System, providing powerful, reliable pumping performance.

The basement now stays completely dry, giving the homeowner long-term protection and confidence.
