Before & After Photos

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.

Before:
A homeowner in Mosinee, WI was experiencing intermittent basement water issues despite having proper grading and gutters outside. Water would enter along the cold joint where the wall meets the floor, especially after heavy rain or snowmelt. The existing sump system was outdated and unable to keep up, often discharging water too close to the foundation where it could refreeze in winter.

After:
To fully resolve the problem, the Sure-Dry crew installed a WaterGuard® interior drainage system along the basement perimeter to collect and channel groundwater to a new SuperSump® system. A buried discharge line was also added to carry water safely away from the home and prevent freezing at the outlet.

The homeowner now has a reliable waterproofing system that keeps the basement dry and worry-free — even during Wisconsin’s heaviest rains and freeze-thaw cycles.

Before: Damp, Dirty, and Inefficient

In Montello, WI, a homeowner contacted Sure-Dry after discovering that their crawl space was damp, musty, and visibly moldy. Cold floors in the winter and high humidity levels throughout the year were also making the home uncomfortable and energy-inefficient.

The crawl space had exposed soil, falling insulation, and air leaks around the rim joists—creating the perfect environment for moisture buildup, wood rot, and poor indoor air quality.

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

Sure-Dry designed and installed a complete crawl space encapsulation and dehumidification system that included:

• CleanSpace® Vapor Barrier: A durable, bright white liner installed along the floor and walls to seal out ground moisture and create a clean, usable space.

• RimTight™ Spray Foam Insulation: Applied to rim joists and sill plates to stop air leakage and heat loss.

• SaniDry™ Sedona Dehumidifier: Installed to maintain optimal humidity levels year-round and prevent mold growth.

The transformation was immediate. The space is now dry, mold-resistant, energy-efficient, and significantly healthier for the entire home above.
