Sure-Dry Before & After Photos

Before
This Shawano, WI homeowner began a major renovation after discovering significant deterioration in portions of the home's flooring caused by excessive moisture in the crawl space below. Once the damaged flooring was removed, it became clear just how shallow the crawl space was in several areas—making access extremely difficult under normal circumstances. Fortunately, the renovation provided a rare opportunity for Sure-Dry to fully address the moisture issues before the new flooring was installed. During the inspection, our System Design Specialist documented elevated moisture levels, exposed soil, and conditions that could continue to promote wood deterioration and mold growth if left untreated. With Wisconsin's high groundwater levels and seasonal freeze-thaw cycles contributing to crawl space moisture, the recommended solution was a complete CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System paired with a SuperSump Sump Pump System.

After
With the home's flooring already removed, our crawl space repair team was able to access areas that normally would have been nearly impossible to reach due to the limited crawl space height. The crew professionally installed the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System throughout the crawl space, sealing the exposed earth and helping prevent ground moisture from entering the home. A dependable SuperSump Sump Pump System was also installed to efficiently collect and discharge groundwater before it could accumulate beneath the home. By completing the encapsulation before the renovation was finished, the homeowners were able to protect their investment with a clean, dry crawl space that helps improve indoor air quality, reduce moisture-related problems, and safeguard the home's structural components for years to come.

The homeowners in Shawano, WI began noticing signs of structural settlement in their finished basement, including uneven floors and areas that felt soft or bouncy underfoot. Because the basement had already been finished, protecting the living space while correcting the structural problem was a top priority. During the inspection, our System Design Specialist evaluated the existing floor framing, measured deflection, and identified weakened support beneath the home. The crawl space and supporting soils had allowed portions of the floor system to settle over time, a common issue in Wisconsin due to seasonal moisture changes and freeze-thaw cycles. To permanently stabilize the floor system and restore structural support, Sure-Dry recommended installing the SmartJack Structural Support System.

After
Our foundation repair specialists carefully installed the SmartJack Structural Support System beneath the affected floor framing to permanently reinforce the home's structural support. Each SmartJack was positioned on a properly prepared engineered base and precisely adjusted to reduce floor deflection while providing long-term stabilization. Unlike temporary wood shimming or improvised supports, the galvanized steel SmartJack system is designed to withstand heavy structural loads and can be adjusted in the future if necessary. The completed installation significantly improved the stability of the finished basement floor while giving the homeowners confidence that their home's structural integrity had been restored with a professional foundation repair solution.

Before
The crawl space beneath this Shawano, WI home was experiencing excessive humidity, exposed earth, and poor insulation that allowed moisture and outside temperatures to affect the home's comfort and energy efficiency. The homeowner had noticed musty odors and wanted to address the conditions before they led to more serious problems such as mold growth or wood deterioration. During the inspection, our System Design Specialist measured elevated moisture levels, evaluated the crawl space environment, and identified areas where Wisconsin's freeze-thaw cycles and seasonal humidity were impacting the home's crawl space. To create a healthier, more energy-efficient environment, Sure-Dry recommended installing the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System, SilverGlo Crawl Space Insulation, and a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidification System.

After
Our crawl space repair specialists transformed the space by installing the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System to isolate the crawl space from ground moisture while SilverGlo Crawl Space Insulation was installed along the foundation walls to improve thermal performance and help reduce energy loss. To complete the system, a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidification System was added to continuously control humidity and help prevent conditions that promote mold and musty odors. Together, these professionally installed crawl space repair systems created a cleaner, drier, and more energy-efficient space while helping protect the home's structural components from long-term moisture damage.

Before
The homeowners in Shawano, WI wanted to improve the safety and functionality of two basement bedrooms by replacing outdated egress windows that no longer met modern code requirements. While the existing window openings had served the home for years, they did not provide the size or accessibility needed for safe emergency escape. During the inspection, our System Design Specialist evaluated both window openings, confirmed the existing installations were not compliant with current egress standards, and developed a plan to upgrade each location. Replacing the outdated windows would not only improve safety but also allow the basement bedrooms to meet modern egress requirements while bringing more natural light into the finished living space.

After
Our installation team removed the older window systems and completed two professionally installed Egress Windows designed to meet current egress standards for basement bedrooms. Each opening was carefully excavated and prepared before installing the new window systems and window wells to provide safe emergency exit access while allowing significantly more daylight and ventilation into the basement. The completed installation transformed both bedrooms into brighter, safer living spaces while giving the homeowners confidence that their basement now features modern egress window systems designed for both safety and long-term durability.

Before
The homeowners in Shawano, WI began noticing signs that portions of their main floor were no longer being adequately supported from below. Floors had developed noticeable sagging, and movement was becoming more apparent throughout the home. During the inspection, our System Design Specialist evaluated the basement support system, measured floor deflection, and identified weakened structural support beneath key load-bearing areas. Moisture changes and seasonal soil movement common throughout Wisconsin can contribute to settlement over time, allowing beams and floor joists to lose proper support. To permanently stabilize the floor system, Sure-Dry recommended installing the SmartJack Structural Support System.

After
Our foundation repair team installed the SmartJack Structural Support System beneath the home's floor support system to provide permanent structural reinforcement. Each SmartJack was placed on a properly prepared engineered base and carefully adjusted to help reduce floor deflection while transferring loads more effectively to stable ground below. Unlike temporary wood posts or improvised supports, the galvanized steel SmartJack system is engineered for long-term performance and can be adjusted if needed in the future. The completed installation provided a noticeably more stable floor system and gave the homeowners confidence that their basement now has dependable structural support.
