Sure-Dry Before & After Photos

Before
The crawl space in Marinette, WI had a dirt floor and failing insulation that was falling down from the walls and rim joists, leaving the space exposed to moisture, cold air, and energy loss. Ground moisture was able to evaporate directly into the crawl space, contributing to damp conditions, musty odors, and inconsistent temperatures throughout the home. These issues are common in Wisconsin crawl spaces where exposed soil and poorly installed insulation lead to ongoing moisture and comfort problems.

After
The crawl space was fully encapsulated with CleanSpace® to seal off the dirt floor and foundation surfaces, preventing ground moisture from entering the space. Crawl space walls were insulated with SilverGlo® rigid foam panels, replacing the failing insulation and providing consistent thermal performance and moisture resistance.
The crawl space is now sealed, dry, and properly insulated, improving indoor comfort, air quality, and long-term energy efficiency.

Before
The homeowner in Marinette, WI had a crawlspace with exposed soil, elevated moisture levels, and unsealed rim joists that allowed damp air and cold temperatures to affect the home above. Persistent humidity contributed to musty odors, energy loss, and concern about long-term wood and insulation performance.
Inspection confirmed poor vapor control, insufficient insulation, and air leakage at the rim joist area—common issues in northeastern Wisconsin due to seasonal moisture and temperature swings.

After
Sure-Dry completed a crawlspace encapsulation using CleanSpace® vapor barrier to fully seal the crawlspace floor and walls, blocking ground moisture and outside air infiltration. SilverGlo® insulation was installed along the crawlspace walls to improve thermal performance, while RimTight® joist insulation sealed the rim joists to reduce air leakage and heat loss.
The crawlspace is now dry, sealed, and insulated, improving comfort, energy efficiency, and overall indoor air quality throughout the home.

Before
The homeowner in Marinette, WI had a crawlspace with a concrete floor and exposed brick foundation walls that were experiencing active water intrusion during heavy rain and seasonal snowmelt. Water was entering along the wall-to-floor joint and through the masonry, leading to standing water, elevated humidity, and concern about long-term moisture damage.
Inspection confirmed hydrostatic pressure at the footing, moisture migration through the brick walls, and inadequate pumping capacity to manage groundwater effectively.

After
Sure-Dry installed a complete crawlspace 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 for protection during power outages. To control humidity and moisture long-term, a Sedona® dehumidifier was installed to maintain dry, consistent conditions throughout the crawlspace.
The crawlspace is now dry, controlled, and protected from both water intrusion and excess humidity.

Before
The homeowner in Marinette, WI was remodeling a finished basement to add a new bedroom but lacked a code-compliant emergency escape and rescue opening. The existing basement window did not meet egress requirements for size, height, or accessibility, creating a safety concern and preventing the space from being used legally as a bedroom.
Inspection confirmed that a properly sized opening, window well, and drainage solution were needed to meet local building codes and provide safe emergency exit.

After
Sure-Dry installed a full RockWell Egress Window system, including precise foundation cutting, a properly sized window opening, and a secure window well designed for safe exit and natural light. The installation was completed to integrate cleanly with the existing finished basement layout while meeting all egress requirements for the new bedroom.
The basement bedroom is now code-compliant, brighter, and safer, adding functional living space and long-term value to the home.

Before

The homeowner was in the process of remodeling their basement for additional living space but was dealing with active water intrusion along the foundation walls during heavy rain. Moisture concerns threatened the remodel plans and raised concerns about long-term durability and basement usability. In addition, the basement lacked proper emergency escape options, limiting safety and preventing full code compliance for finished living areas.
Inspection confirmed the need for a permanent interior water management system along with properly sized emergency escape openings.

After
Sure-Dry installed a full interior basement waterproofing system to manage groundwater and keep the remodeled basement dry and protected. To support the new living space layout, two properly sized RockWell Egress Window systems with covers were installed, providing safe emergency exits and increased natural light. Each installation was completed with precise foundation cutting and window well placement to integrate cleanly with the finished basement design.
The basement is now dry, code-compliant, and fully functional for finished living space.
