Before & After Photos

The typical major cause of water in a basement is from water seeping through the concrete walls or floors. For homeowners in Plymouth, WI they were experiencing just that. 

We installed the WaterGuard System around the perimeter of their basement. The WaterGuard collects all water that seeps through the concrete walls and directly discharges it to the sump pump. Therefore, keeping their basement dry! 

Before:
A homeowner in Plymouth was dealing with repeated basement flooding during periods of heavy rain and snowmelt. Water was seeping through the wall and floor joints, and their existing sump system couldn’t keep up, leaving standing water and musty odors behind.

After:
Sure-Dry installed a complete waterproofing system that included WaterGuard® interior drainage to collect groundwater, a TripleSafe™ sump pump system for maximum reliability, and IceGuard® fittings to prevent discharge line backups during freezing conditions.

The new setup provided year-round protection, keeping the basement dry and worry-free.

Before
In Plymouth, WI, the homeowner wanted to convert their basement into a functional living area but the existing windows were too small to meet Wisconsin’s egress code requirements. The only viable wall for installation was on the home’s north side, where compacted soil and nearby landscaping required careful excavation planning. During the inspection, Sure-Dry’s System Design Specialist confirmed that an egress window installation would provide the necessary emergency exit, natural light, and ventilation for a safe, comfortable basement.

After
Sure-Dry’s experienced crew excavated the area along the foundation, protecting nearby landscape features while cutting a clean, code-sized opening in the concrete wall. A durable, insulated egress window was installed along with a reinforced, rust-resistant window well equipped with a built-in ladder and an integrated drain system. The area was sealed, backfilled, and graded to direct surface water away from the foundation.
The homeowner now enjoys a bright, safe, and fully code-compliant basement space ready for future finishing.

Before
A homeowner in Plymouth, WI began experiencing persistent musty odors and elevated humidity levels coming from their crawl space—common signs of moisture intrusion in southeastern Wisconsin homes. The area had exposed earth floors, allowing ground moisture to rise into the space and affect the air quality throughout the home. Over time, this created conditions for mold growth, wood deterioration, and increased energy inefficiency. The homeowner started searching for crawl space repair Wisconsin and musty basement odor solution Wisconsin options after noticing the smell spreading into the main living areas.

In addition to air quality concerns, the crawl space lacked any form of vapor barrier or insulation system to control moisture.

After
A Sure-Dry System Design Specialist completed a full inspection of the crawl space and recommended a complete encapsulation using the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System. The installation process began by preparing the crawl space floor and walls, removing debris, and addressing any visible moisture concerns.
