Before & After Photos

Before:
A homeowner in Manitowoc, WI was experiencing persistent moisture, musty odors, and cold floors above their crawl space. The exposed soil, unsealed rim joists, and damp air common to lake-influenced climates allowed humidity and outside air to move freely into the space. Condensation was forming on wood surfaces, insulation was deteriorating, and the crawl space was contributing to poor indoor comfort and rising energy costs.
After:
Sure-Dry encapsulated the crawl space with CleanSpace® vapor barrier, sealing the walls and floor to prevent moisture and vapor intrusion. The rim joists were then sealed with RimTight™, creating an airtight thermal boundary that blocks outside air, reduces heat loss, and improves overall energy efficiency.
The crawl space is now dry, sealed, and properly insulated, providing a healthier environment and improved comfort throughout the home.

Before
The homeowner in Manitowoc, WI had a finished basement experiencing recurring moisture issues during heavy rain and seasonal snowmelt. Water intrusion along the foundation perimeter and elevated humidity levels put finished walls, flooring, and overall indoor air quality at risk.
Inspection confirmed hydrostatic pressure at the footing and the need for improved water management and humidity control to protect the finished basement long-term.

After
Sure-Dry installed a complete basement waterproofing and moisture control system, including the WaterGuard® interior drainage system to capture groundwater at the footing and direct it to a new SuperSump® primary sump pump paired with an UltraSump® battery backup system for protection during power outages. To control humidity and protect finished materials, a Sedona® SaniDry dehumidifier was installed to maintain consistent, dry conditions year-round.
The finished basement is now dry, protected, and comfortable, with layered water protection and reliable humidity control in place.

Before
The homeowner in Manitowoc, WI experienced recurring basement water intrusion during heavy rain and seasonal snowmelt. Water was entering along the foundation perimeter at the wall-to-floor joint, creating damp conditions and concern about long-term moisture damage.
Inspection confirmed hydrostatic pressure at the footing and the absence of a reliable interior drainage and sump system to properly manage groundwater.

After
Sure-Dry installed a complete basement waterproofing solution, including the WaterGuard® interior drainage system to capture groundwater at the footing level and direct it to a new TripleSafe™ sump pump system. The TripleSafe system provides primary pumping power with built-in backup protection to handle high water volumes and power outages.
The basement is now dry, protected, and equipped with dependable, layered water management.

Before A homeowner in Manitowoc, WI experienced significant water intrusion in their finished basement. The water damage was severe enough that the affected finished materials had to be removed and the entire basement remodeled. Groundwater entering along the foundation perimeter had damaged the living space and created persistent moisture and humidity concerns. Before rebuilding the basement, the homeowner needed a permanent basement waterproofing solution designed to manage groundwater and help protect the newly remodeled space from future water damage.
After Sure-Dry installed a WaterGuard Interior Drainage System along the foundation perimeter to intercept groundwater before it could reach the basement floor. WaterGuard was connected to a SuperSump Sump Pump System to collect the captured water and pump it safely away from the home. A SaniDry Dehumidification System was also installed to control relative humidity and help maintain drier conditions throughout the basement.
With the waterproofing and humidity-control systems in place, the homeowner can move forward with the basement remodel knowing the newly finished space has added protection against groundwater intrusion and excess moisture.

Before

This Appleton, WI homeowner was dealing with basement moisture and water intrusion and needed a complete waterproofing solution rather than relying on a sump pump alone. Water entering around the foundation can lead to wet basement floors, damp conditions, musty odors, and elevated humidity if both the water and moisture in the air aren't properly managed.

Sure-Dry evaluated the basement and designed a system to address three important parts of keeping the space dry: collecting groundwater, reliably pumping it away from the home, and controlling humidity.

After

Sure-Dry installed the WaterGuard® interior drainage system along the perimeter of the basement to capture water entering where the foundation walls and floor meet. WaterGuard is installed below the floor but above the footing, helping keep it away from the mud and sediment that can clog traditional drainage systems.

The collected water is directed to a TripleSafe™ sump pump system, providing multiple levels of pumping protection for periods of increased groundwater and added protection if the primary pump can't keep up or operate.

To address moisture in the air, we also installed a SaniDry™ dehumidification system. SaniDry helps maintain healthier humidity levels and reduces the damp, musty conditions commonly associated with basement moisture.

Appleton and the Fox Valley experience heavy rainfall, spring snowmelt, changing soil moisture, and repeated freeze-thaw cycles that can increase water pressure around a foundation.

With WaterGuard collecting the water, TripleSafe pumping it away, and SaniDry controlling humidity, this Appleton homeowner now has a comprehensive basement waterproofing system designed to keep the space drier and healthier.
