Before & After Photos

Before the project, the homeowner in Minocqua, WI was dealing with recurring 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, left damp bands and efflorescence on the concrete, and occasionally pooled in low spots, making the basement unreliable for storage and future finishing. An older sump pump sat in a basic pit without a continuous interior drainage system, so hydrostatic pressure beneath the slab simply forced groundwater to the wall–floor joint—typical of wet basement repair needs in Wisconsin’s Northwoods.

After Sure-Dry completed the work, the basement was protected by a WaterGuard® interior drainage system installed along the affected walls at the footing to intercept groundwater before it can reach the floor surface. The drainage channel was set in a stone bed with a wall flange to capture wall and cove seepage and was routed directly into a new SuperSump® sump pump system, providing a sealed liner, airtight lid, and high-capacity pump tied into a properly routed discharge line. The WaterGuard interior French drain was then covered with new concrete to restore a clean, finished floor edge and deliver a long-term interior drainage system basement solution for this Minocqua home.
The homeowner now has a dry, healthier basement environment and confidence that this basement waterproofing system will protect their Northwoods property through future storms and snowmelt cycles.

Before
A homeowner in Minocqua, WI, had an unsealed crawl space that allowed ground moisture and outside air to affect the area beneath the home. In the Northwoods, cold winters, humid summers, snowmelt, and changing soil moisture can make an untreated crawl space difficult to keep dry and energy efficient. The homeowner needed a comprehensive crawl space repair solution that addressed moisture, cold foundation walls, and air leakage around the rim joists.
After
Sure-Dry installed the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System to encapsulate the crawl space and isolate the home from moisture in the ground below. SilverGlo Crawl Space Insulation Panels were installed along the foundation walls to provide an additional thermal barrier, while RimTight was used around the rim joist area to help seal air leaks where outside air can enter the crawl space.
Together, the encapsulation, insulation, and air-sealing improvements created a cleaner, drier, and better-insulated crawl space while helping the homeowner improve comfort and energy efficiency throughout the home.
