Before & After Photos

With repetitive water seeping through their basement walls, a residue called efflorescence is left behind. This crystallized salt leaves your basement walls with a white, unclean look. To remove this unsettling look, we installed the BrightWall. These white, waterproof panels turn any damaged wall into a new, bright, clean, one!

CleanSpace Crawl Space Vapor Barrier System installed in the home's crawl space will help eliminate moisture issues in the home above.

This durable, bright white crawl space liner prevents water vapor and humidity from passing through. By keeping your crawl space dry, you protect your structure and insulation from mold and rot.

Before

This Appleton, WI homeowner had a large storage closet in the basement that repeatedly took on water during heavy rains. Moisture was entering where the foundation wall met the floor, leaving damp concrete, musty odors, and concerns about damaging anything stored in the space. During our inspection, we confirmed that groundwater was collecting along the footing and finding its way into the basement through the cove joint—a common issue in Wisconsin due to saturated soils and seasonal freeze-thaw cycles. To provide a permanent basement waterproofing solution, we recommended installing the WaterGuard Interior Drainage System along with a SuperSump Sump Pump System. These systems work together to collect groundwater before it reaches the basement floor and safely discharge it away from the home.

After

Our crew carefully removed a section of concrete around the perimeter of the closet and installed the WaterGuard Interior Drainage System just above the footing, where it can intercept water while remaining protected from soil and debris that commonly clog traditional drain tile systems. We then installed a SuperSump Sump Pump System inside the closet to efficiently remove collected groundwater from the home. After restoring the concrete floor, the homeowner was left with a clean, finished installation that protects the basement from future water intrusion while preserving valuable storage space.

Before

An Appleton, WI homeowner had a concrete driveway with sunken and uneven slabs along with cracks that had developed between sections. Soil settlement, erosion and Wisconsin’s repeated freeze-thaw cycles can create voids beneath driveway slabs, allowing the concrete to sink and shift over time.

After

Sure-Dry used PolyLevel® to lift and stabilize the settled driveway slabs. The lightweight polyurethane foam expands beneath the concrete, filling voids and carefully raising the affected sections toward a more even position.

The cracks and joints were then sealed with NexusPro®, helping keep water from reaching the soil beneath the driveway and contributing to future settlement and freeze-thaw damage.

Compared with traditional mudjacking, PolyLevel requires smaller injection holes, adds less weight to the underlying soil and cures quickly.

Before

An Appleton, WI homeowner was dealing with water entering the basement, leaving the space vulnerable to damp conditions and potential damage. Water can find its way inside where foundation walls meet the floor, through cracks and other openings, especially during heavy rain and spring snowmelt.

After

Sure-Dry installed WaterGuard® along the basement perimeter to collect water entering around the foundation and direct it to a new TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System.

The basement was also protected with RimTight™ around the rim joist area to help seal this vulnerable portion of the home.

Together, these systems provide a more complete approach to keeping the basement dry and protected through Appleton’s changing seasons.
