Before & After Photos

Before our help, this Rosendale, WI homeowner faced frequent stress over their existing sump pump, which was struggling to keep their basement dry under heavy water pressure. You can observe the essence of this issue in the left image. We addressed this challenge efficiently by installing our advanced TripleSafe Sump Pump and WaterGuard system. As seen in the right photo, this not only bolstered their sump pump system with high-capacity water management—eliminating worries of overpressure or power failure—but also established a meticulous drainage solution. These sure proof mechanisms mean steadfast basement protection and lasting peace of mind for the home.

Water was finding its way into the basement of this home in Manawa, WI through the foundation walls and footing, damaging the wood studs and drywall of the finished basement.  To solve this home's water issues, Sure-Dry Basement Systems installed their WaterGuard® interior drainage system.  

The WaterGuard® system collects water that seeps through basement walls and drains it to your sump pump. The system installs quickly and has a clean finished appearance, meaning you don't have to worry about having an unsightly drain around the basement. WaterGuard® works for both block walls and poured concrete, ensuring that your basement remains dry in all situations. This product also comes with a written warranty.

Ice Guard was installed on a sump pump discharge line to prevent water exiting the sump pump from freezing. Sump pump discharge lines are fed outside the home, meaning it's possible they could freeze during the cold winter months. A backed-up discharge line means your sump pump won't work properly in the event of water in your basement, which will make the flooding much worse. Our solution to this problem is the IceGuard® discharge line system.

The IceGuard® fits over the top of your discharge line to provide water with a secondary escape route. When the main line is working correctly, water simply flows out as usual. However, when the discharge line is frozen, the IceGuard® allows water to escape through slotted openings in the drain pipe. This ensures that any water your sump pump is removing from your basement is safely cleared away outside your home, preventing any backed-up or frozen lines. The IceGuard® is compatible with all our sump pump systems.

Before:
A homeowner in Winneconne saw water along the wall–floor (cove) joint after storms, plus elevated humidity and a musty odor that lingered in the living space. With an older pump, they also worried about reliability during power flickers.

After:
We installed WaterGuard® interior perimeter drainage to intercept seepage at the cove joint and route it to a TripleSafe® sump system (primary, secondary, and battery-backup pumps under a sealed lid with alarm). To stabilize moisture in the air, we added a SaniDry™ dehumidifier set to maintain ~45–50% RH with a dedicated drain.

Now the basement stays clean, dry, and comfortable year-round—with dependable pumping during outages and steady humidity for better air quality.

Before:
A homeowner in Winneconne had a small, low-clearance crawl space beneath the front entry. Exposed soil and rim-joist air leaks led to musty odors, chilly floors in the foyer, and seasonal humidity that left light condensation on wood.

After:
We installed CleanSpace® to encapsulate the floor and walls (wrapping piers and sealing all seams), insulated the walls with SilverGlo® rigid foam, and air-sealed the rim joists and penetrations using RimTight™.

Now the crawl space is dry, sealed, and insulated—improving comfort at the entry, reducing odors, and helping the home hold a healthy humidity level.
