Before & After Photos

When the homeowner in Tigerton, WI, noticed their basement turning into a pool rather than a space, they knew it was time to call Sure-Dry. As you can see in the before photo, constant water plagued their basement, turning it into a myriad inconvenience. By installing our WaterGuard system and SuperSump pump, showcased in the after photo, we've turned their worries into relief. These solutions promise a dry, secure basement, fulfilling our mission to provide long-lasting satisfaction. Welcome to peace of mind with Sure-Dry, where we ensure your basement remains exactly as it should be – dry and functional.

Before: A homeowner in Tigerton, WI had block foundation walls showing signs of inward movement and instability. As pressure builds in the soil outside a foundation, block walls can begin to bow inward and develop horizontal or stair-step cracks. Wisconsin’s changing soil moisture, frost, and repeated freeze-thaw cycles can contribute to this pressure and make foundation movement worse over time.

After: Sure-Dry used a combination of GeoLock® Wall Anchors and PowerBrace™ supports to permanently stabilize the affected block walls. GeoLock anchors connect the foundation wall to stable soil beyond the home using heavy-duty steel earth anchors, while PowerBrace uses steel beams installed along the interior of the foundation wall. Both systems are designed to stop further inward movement and may provide opportunities to improve the wall’s position over time when conditions allow. The homeowner now has a professionally stabilized foundation with solutions specifically selected for the different conditions throughout the basement.

This home had a long, above-ground discharge hose to drain water from the sump pump which was causing a headache for the homeowners every time they mowed their lawn and also a fear that the water would freeze and backup into their basement during the winter months. To fix these issues, we buried the discharge hose underground and installed an IceGuard® Discharge Line System.

The IceGuard System fits over the top of your discharge line to provide water with a secondary escape route. When the main line is working correctly, water simply flows out as usual. However, when the discharge line is frozen, the IceGuard® allows water to escape through slotted openings in the drain pipe. This ensures that any water your sump pump is removing from your basement is safely cleared away outside your home, preventing any backed up or frozen lines. 

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.
