Before:
The homeowners in Land O’ Lakes were experiencing persistent basement water intrusion, high humidity, and musty odors throughout their lower level. During the inspection, water was entering along the footing-wall joint, insulation had deteriorated, and outside air was leaking through the rim joists. The basement’s temperature and moisture swings — common in Vilas County’s deep-freeze winters and wet spring thaws — were leading to condensation, cold floors, and poor air quality.

After:
Sure-Dry installed the WaterGuard® interior drainage system to capture groundwater seepage and directed it to a TripleSafe® sump pump for reliable pumping performance. A buried discharge line moved water safely away from the home. To address air leakage, RimTight™ sealing was applied at the perimeter, and SilverGlo® insulation improved thermal performance along the walls. Three Sedona SaniDry® units were added to maintain controlled humidity across the full basement footprint.
The upgraded system now keeps the Land O’ Lakes basement dry, insulated, and protected year-round.

Before: Damp Basement, No Sump Pump—A Hidden Risk

When a homeowner in Greenville, WI bought their home, they were surprised to discover it didn’t have a sump pump—especially since they lived in an area known for heavy spring rain and rising groundwater. Over time, they noticed musty odors, condensation on basement walls, and occasional puddling after storms. Though there hadn't been a major flood, the risk of one felt too close for comfort.

They wanted a backup solution before water damage became a reality, and they turned to Sure-Dry LLC for expert advice.

After: A Dry, Protected Basement with a TripleSafe & Sedona Dehumidifier

We designed a complete waterproofing solution using:

• TripleSafe Sump Pump System: This 3-in-1 system provides primary, secondary, and battery backup pumping to handle even the worst-case scenario.

• Sedona Basement Dehumidifier: A high-efficiency system that removes excess humidity, preventing mold, mildew, and air quality issues.

With the TripleSafe system, the homeowner now has:

• Peace of mind during power outages or heavy storms

• A dry, odor-free basement year-round

• A fully functioning defense against water intrusion

And the Sedona system ensures a healthier environment by controlling humidity at its source.

Before:
A homeowner in Greenville, WI was experiencing water intrusion along one basement wall during heavy rains and snowmelt. Although the existing sump pump was functional, the leaking wall caused moisture buildup, staining, and musty odors throughout the space. Seasonal groundwater changes in the Fox Valley area made the issue worse, and the homeowner needed a solution that would protect the wall surface while directing water to their current sump system.
After:
Sure-Dry installed CleanSpace® vapor barrier along the leaking wall to create a sealed, waterproof surface that prevents moisture from entering the basement airspace. A perimeter WaterGuard® drainage system was installed at the wall-floor joint to collect and redirect any incoming water directly into the existing sump pump.
The basement now remains dry, controlled, and properly protected during seasonal groundwater spikes.
