Before & After Photos

Before:
The homeowner was battling a very wet basement—water entered along multiple wall–floor joints after rain and during thaws. Puddles, musty odors, and efflorescence made the space unusable and raised concerns about long-term damage.

After:
We installed a full interior system: WaterGuard® around the leaking perimeter to capture seepage at its source, feeding a new TripleSafe® sump system (primary pump for everyday flow, a high-capacity secondary for peak events, and a battery-backup pump for outages). To finish, we lined the walls with CleanSpace® vapor barrier so any wall moisture is directed into WaterGuard instead of onto the floor.

The basement is now dry, clean, and ready for storage and projects—even during heavy rains.

Before:
The crawl space had exposed soil, musty odors, and seasonal puddling in low spots. Humid air was moving into the home, leaving floors cold and raising concerns about mold and wood rot. The area lacked insulation and a reliable way to manage water during storms.

After:
We encapsulated the crawl space with the CleanSpace® vapor barrier, sealing the floor and walls with tight, taped seams and mechanical fasteners. To manage groundwater, we installed a SmartSump® system in a sealed liner with alarm and check valve for dependable pumping and early leak detection. We finished with SilverGlo® rigid insulation panels on the crawl space walls to improve energy efficiency and direct any wall moisture into the liner.

The result is a bright, dry, insulated crawl space that helps keep the living areas above cleaner and more comfortable.

The block foundation walls in the basement of this home in Spalding, MI had water coming through them and flooding the basement.  

To collect the water coming in through the walls, Sure-Dry Basement Systems installed their WaterGuard® system. The WaterGuard system collects water that seeps through basement walls and drains it to your sump pump. The system installs quickly and has a clean finished appearance, meaning you don't have to worry about having an unsightly drain around the basement. WaterGuard works for both block walls and poured concrete, ensuring that your basement remains dry in all situations.

To take care of these homeowners walls, Sure-Dry installed their BrightWall® Basement Wall Panels. BrightWall is 100% waterproof and washable, and it creates a vapor barrier on your basement walls to block out water vapor and humidity. This ensures that you won't have to worry about mold growth or rot. Like our other wall products, it can direct water seepage into your perimeter drain.
