Before & After Photos

Before the project, the homeowner in Edgar, WI was experiencing recurring water seepage along the cove joint where the basement floor meets the wall during heavy rains and spring snowmelt. Water tracked along the perimeter slab, leaving damp bands, efflorescence, and small puddles in low spots that made the space unsuitable for storage or future finishing. The existing sump pump setup was basic and unsupported by any continuous interior drainage, so hydrostatic pressure beneath the slab simply pushed groundwater to the path of least resistance at the wall-floor joint. Over time, the persistent moisture created a musty basement odor and raised concerns about long-term foundation and air quality issues typical of wet basement repair needs in Wisconsin.

After Sure-Dry completed the work, the Edgar, WI basement was protected by a WaterGuard® interior drainage system installed along the affected walls at the footing to intercept groundwater before it can reach the floor surface. The WaterGuard channel, set in a drainage stone bed and equipped with a wall flange to capture wall and cove seepage, was routed directly into a new SuperSump® system with a durable liner, airtight lid, and high-capacity pump designed for reliable sump pump installation in Wisconsin basements. Once the drainage and discharge connections were complete, the crew carefully re-poured concrete over the trench to restore a clean, finished slab edge while providing a long-term interior drainage system basement solution for this Marathon County home.
The homeowner now has a dry, healthier basement environment and confidence that this basement waterproofing system will keep their Edgar, WI home protected through future storms and snowmelt cycles.

Before:
A homeowner in Edgar, WI contacted Sure-Dry after noticing a small section of water intrusion along one basement wall. The affected area showed damp staining and early signs of efflorescence, indicating moisture seeping through the foundation during snowmelt and heavy rain. With only partial wall seepage and an existing sump pump already in place, the homeowner needed a solution that would control moisture on the wall surface and direct water safely to their drainage point without requiring full perimeter excavation.

After:
To correct the issue, the crew installed the CleanSpace® Wall System over the problem area to provide a clean, durable vapor barrier that prevents humidity and directs any wall seepage downward. A section of WaterGuard® was then added at the base of the wall and tied directly into the homeowner’s existing sump pump system, efficiently managing water without altering the rest of the basement layout.
The homeowner now has a dry, protected basement wall and a drainage system designed to prevent future moisture issues.

Notice the problem in the "before" photo: excessive humidity and musty odors in this Oxford, WI cabin's crawl space hindered a successful remodel. Sure-Dry's expert team resolved this by installing our CleanSpace encapsulation system and SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, as shown in the "after" photo. These industry-leading products efficiently sealed out moisture and odors, providing a clean, dry, and healthy environment. Homeowners can now enjoy a more comfortable living space with lasting protection, confident their floors are well-protected from potential mold, rot, or allergen intrusions.

Dianna's basement had mold build-up and leaky walls. Sure-Dry cleaned the mold with Mold-X2 Stain Remover and installed BrightWall leaving the basement with a clean, bright semi-finished look.
