Before & After Photos

Before:
In an older farmhouse near Athens, the basement showed classic moisture issues—water at the wall–floor (cove) joint after rains, damp/porous foundation walls with efflorescence, and a persistent musty odor. With uneven wall surfaces typical of older homes, the owners needed a clean, low-maintenance solution that wouldn’t tear up the

space more than necessary.

After:
We installed WaterGuard® interior perimeter drainage to intercept seepage at the cove joint and carry it to a new UltraSump® system with a sealed lid, alarm, and battery backup for reliability during storms. We finished the walls with the CleanSpace® Wall System, mechanically fastening the liner to bridge irregular surfaces and direct wall moisture down into WaterGuard.

Now the basement stays clean, dry, and more usable year-round, with dependable protection even during power outages.

Before:
A homeowner in Athens had a small, low-clearance crawl space with exposed soil, musty odors, and chilly floors above. Seasonal humidity led to light condensation on wood and air leaks at the rim joists made the first floor drafty.

After:
We encapsulated the space with CleanSpace® liner (floor and walls, wrapped piers, all seams sealed), insulated the crawl space walls with SilverGlo® rigid foam, and air-sealed rim joists and penetrations using RimTight™ to block outside air.

The crawl space is now dry, sealed, and insulated—improving comfort, air quality, and energy efficiency throughout the home.

Before:
In Athens, WI, a homeowner noticed their basement showing early signs of water seepage near the floor edges after heavy rain. While the issue wasn’t severe, moisture collecting along the perimeter made it clear that the existing drainage setup was insufficient to keep the space consistently dry. The homeowner wanted a dependable solution before the problem worsened.

After:
Sure-Dry installed a WaterGuard® Interior Drainage System along the basement’s perimeter to collect and channel any water seepage directly to a new SuperSump® system. This powerful and reliable sump pump now efficiently removes water from the basement, discharging it safely away from the foundation.
The combination of WaterGuard and SuperSump provides long-term protection against water damage, keeping the basement clean, dry, and ready for use even during periods of heavy rainfall.

Before this project, the homeowner in Junction City, WI—already a Sure-Dry customer with an existing GeoLock® Channel Anchor system in place to stabilize previous foundation wall movement—began noticing water seepage returning along the base of the walls and at the cove joint where the floor meets the wall. While the GeoLock system continued to provide structural support, rising groundwater and hydrostatic pressure were forcing water through the cold joints and along the slab edge during heavy rains and snowmelt. Moisture staining, occasional small puddles, and a musty basement odor developed along several wall runs that did not previously have interior drainage. The existing sump pump discharged properly, but without a continuous drainage system and bleeder connection from the footing, the pump was only addressing water that reached its pit, not the seepage spreading along the perimeter.

After Sure-Dry completed the work, the basement received a targeted waterproofing upgrade designed to work in harmony with the existing GeoLock Channel Anchor system. A WaterGuard® interior drainage system was installed along the affected wall runs at the footing to intercept groundwater and wall seepage before it could reach the finished floor surface. The crew also installed a bleeder line from the WaterGuard system to the homeowner’s existing sump basin, allowing collected water to drain directly into the pump for discharge outside. Concrete was carefully re-poured over the trench to restore a clean, finished slab edge, while the anchored walls remained fully supported by the previously installed GeoLock system.
The homeowner now has a structurally stabilized and dry basement, with the foundation movement controlled by GeoLock and water managed by a continuous interior drainage system tied into their existing sump pump for long-term wet basement repair performance in Junction City, WI.
