Before: A Damp, Musty Basement in Need of a Permanent Fix

A homeowner in Hortonville, WI was frustrated with recurring water issues in their basement. After nearly every rainfall, water would seep in where the wall met the floor. The basement smelled musty, the floor was often damp, and stored belongings were constantly at risk.

With no sump pump and no drainage system in place, the moisture was getting worse with time—and traditional patch fixes weren’t working.

After: A Dry, Protected Basement Thanks to Sure-Dry

Sure-Dry installed a WaterGuard® interior drainage system to intercept water at its entry point and direct it safely to a newly installed UltraSump® battery backup sump pump system.

Highlights of the system:

• WaterGuard sits just below the basement floor to collect and redirect water before it reaches the surface.

• UltraSump provides powerful primary pumping capacity with backup power in case of outages.

• The installation was completed quickly and cleanly, with minimal disruption to the homeowner’s daily routine.

Now the basement is dry, odor-free, and protected—even during storms or power outages.

The basement of this home in Eagle River, WI had an old sump pump that was having trouble keeping up with the amount of water it was pumping.  

To give the homeowners peace of mind, Sure-Dry Basement Systems installed their SuperSump® Premier Pump System. It is engineered to help keep the basement dry and healthy for extended periods of time, even in times of heavy water intrusion. The SuperSump includes a powerful Zoeller® ⅓ horsepower cast-iron sump pump, capable of pumping 2,220 gallons of water per hour at an 8-foot head out of your basement. The SuperSump can also be installed with an optional UltraSump® Battery Backup Sump Pump, which can pump out 11,500 gallons or more on a single charge!

SuperSump Premier Sump Pump System was installed to effectively collect and dispose of water that entered the basement.

DryTrack Baseboard Drainage System and bleeder lines were installed in this Eagle River, WI basement to effectively collect any water entering the basement through the monolithic foundation, and drain it into sump pump to get it back out of the home.

If your house has a monolithic foundation, or a foundation that comes with the floor and footing as one piece, jackhammering to install a drain system can be very difficult. In those cases, we use our DryTrak® system to avoid any problems. This system installs over the top of the floor, eliminating the need for excessive excavation.

DryTrak provides the same protection and drainage for water seeping through foundation walls, while also giving the clean, finished appearance of a baseboard. The drain is secured to the floor with only a slight opening at the top, allowing water to flow in and drain to your sump pump. DryTrak comes with a written warranty.
