Before & After Photos

In Presque Isle, WI, this homeowner faced recurring water problems in their basement, desperately needing a refit to keep their space dry and functional. As seen in the before photo, water issues risked damaging the area beyond use. We addressed these concerns by installing our reliable WaterGuard® system and TripleSafe™ pump technology. This powerful combination efficiently channels any water away from foundation walls, as depicted in the after photo. With these trusted solutions in place, the homeowner now enjoys a worry-free, dry basement with assured protection no matter the weather conditions.

This block wall basement was suffering from water issues, musty smells, and cracking in the walls. To repair and fix these issues, we installed our PowerBrace Wall Repair System to stabilize the foundation walls and prevent any further damage. We also installed WaterGuard Below Floor Drainage System to collect water seeping in and drain it to the sump pump.

This fieldstone foundation home built in the 1880's had long suffered from water and moisture issues that the homeowners had been dealing with and didn't know there was a solution to. We eliminated the water issues plaguing this home by installing a compressive drainage and TripleSafe Sump Pump systems to safely and effectively collect and eliminate any water entering this basement. A whole-home dehumidifier was also installed to control the humidity issues. The homeowners were thrilled that they wouldn't have to constantly clean up the mess and worry about water.

Mold, Moisture & Air Quality Concerns Solved with Full Encapsulation

Before: Mold & Efflorescence Threatening Air Quality

In Antigo, WI, this homeowner discovered visible mold growth and white, powdery efflorescence on pipes in the crawl space. With concerns about air quality, musty smells, and health risks, they knew the space needed to be sealed and protected before things got worse.

After: Clean, Dry & Sealed for Good

Sure-Dry installed a full crawl space encapsulation and insulation system to stop moisture in its tracks and eliminate the conditions that cause mold and decay.

We installed:
• CleanSpace® Vapor Barrier to completely seal floors and walls
• Drainage Matting beneath the liner to manage groundwater
• SilverGlo™ Insulation on the crawl space walls for thermal protection
• RimTight® Joist Insulation to stop air leaks at the top of the space
• A new vent cover to keep outside air and pests out

Now the crawl space is dry, mold-resistant, and protected—improving air quality and comfort throughout the home.

Before
The homeowner in Antigo, WI reported chronic water seepage along the cove joint where the basement floor meets the foundation walls, especially during heavy rains and spring snowmelt. Water tracked along the perimeter slab, leaving efflorescence, discoloration, and a persistent musty odor that made the space feel damp and unusable for storage or future finishing. An older, pedestal-style sump pump sat in a shallow pit with no continuous interior drain tile feeding it, so rising groundwater and hydrostatic pressure under the slab routinely overwhelmed the system. This created a classic wet basement repair situation common in Wisconsin, where groundwater is forced through slab joints and cold joints at the base of the wall.

After
Sure-Dry installed a WaterGuard® interior drainage system along the affected basement walls, placing the channel at the footing to intercept groundwater before it can appear on the floor surface. The drainage system includes a wall flange to capture wall seepage and direct it into a new, properly sized SuperSump® system, which features a durable liner, airtight lid, and high-capacity pump designed for long-term performance in Wisconsin basements. The crew tied the WaterGuard system into the SuperSump basin and extended the discharge line to carry water safely away from the foundation, then carefully re-poured concrete over the trench to restore a clean, finished floor edge while delivering a reliable interior drainage system basement solution for Wisconsin homes.
The homeowner now has a dry, healthier basement and confidence that this basement waterproofing solution will protect their Antigo, WI home through future storms and snowmelt cycles.
