Before & After Photos

Faced with a flooding basement in Little Chute, WI, this homeowner turned to us for help. As you can see in the before photo, water intrusion was a major issue, causing stress and damage. We stepped in with our WaterGuard solution, designed to effectively channel water away from the basement. Notice in the after photo how we turned a once soggy space into a dry and comfortable area. Now, the basement is ready to be a valuable part of their home, thanks to our commitment to providing reliable, long-lasting solutions and a remarkable customer experience.

Before
The homeowner in Little Chute, WI was in the process of remodeling their basement but continued to experience water intrusion along the foundation walls. Although an existing sump pump was present, it was not effectively managing groundwater seepage, especially during heavy rain and seasonal snowmelt. Water entering at the wall-to-floor joint created moisture concerns that threatened finished materials and limited the homeowner’s confidence in completing the remodel.

After
Sure-Dry installed a full interior drainage solution using WaterGuard® paired with a new SuperSump® system to properly collect and discharge groundwater before it could enter the living space. The perimeter drainage system was installed along the footing to intercept water at its entry point and direct it efficiently to the sump pump for removal. This upgrade provided consistent moisture control and protected the remodeled basement without disrupting the finished layout.
The homeowner can now move forward with their basement remodel knowing the space is protected against future water intrusion.

Before
The homeowner in Little Chute, WI had a finished basement space that lacked a code-compliant emergency exit, limiting safety and restricting how the space could be used. The existing basement windows were undersized and did not meet egress requirements, creating concerns for emergency escape and natural light. This was a common issue in older Wisconsin homes where basements were finished without proper consideration for updated building codes.

After
Sure-Dry installed a code-compliant egress window system to provide a safe emergency exit and improve natural light in the basement. The installation included cutting the foundation opening, installing the window and well, and ensuring proper drainage and weather sealing around the system. This upgrade brought the basement into compliance while enhancing safety, functionality, and overall livability of the space.
The homeowner now has a safer, brighter basement with a proper emergency exit that supports long-term use and peace of mind.

Before:
A homeowner in Combined Locks, WI was dealing with ongoing basement water problems every time it rained or snow melted. Water entered along the perimeter where the floor met the wall, leaving damp spots and musty odors. The existing sump system was outdated and couldn’t keep up with the volume, leading to standing water and high humidity throughout the lower level.

After:
To permanently fix the issue, our team installed a complete WaterGuard® interior drainage system tied into a TripleSafe® Sump System for maximum pumping capacity and redundancy. Outside, an IceGuard® discharge fitting was added to protect against winter freeze-ups and prevent backups during cold weather.

Now, the Combined Locks basement stays consistently dry and protected, no matter the season—giving the homeowners peace of mind and a clean, usable space year-round.

Before, this Phelps, WI basement was a victim of constant flooding, leaving homeowners worrying with every rainfall.
