Crawl Space Vapor Barrier Installation & Floor Joist Repair in Florence, WI
Before
In Florence, WI, this home’s crawl space was plagued by moisture, humidity, and sagging floor joists — classic signs of unprotected below-grade space in a climate with heavy snowmelt and seasonal storms. The dirt crawl space allowed ground moisture to evaporate into the air, which raised humidity, led to wood rot, and made the floors feel “soft” and uneven. The homeowner was concerned about long-term structural issues and indoor air quality, and knew they needed a professional crawl space encapsulation solution rather than quick fixes.
After
Sure-Dry completed a comprehensive crawl space encapsulation using the SmartJack Structural Support System, CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System, SilverGlo Crawl Space Insulation Panels, and a buried discharge solution with IceGuard Protection to handle condensate and sump discharge below frost depth. The CleanSpace vapor barrier seals soil moisture at the source while SilverGlo insulation stabilizes temperature and improves energy efficiency. SmartJacks were installed to reinforce floor support and level joists, enhancing structural integrity. The buried discharge line with IceGuard ensures water is safely moved away from the home without freezing issues in winter. The crawl space is now clean, dry, and fully protected against moisture, humidity, and structural concerns — giving the homeowner peace of mind and a healthier, more durable home environment.
Sunken Concrete Stairway Repaired & Sealed in Florence, WI
Before The homeowner had a large concrete entryway leading to the front door, including multiple steps that had settled unevenly over time. The slab had dropped in sections, creating trip hazards at the transition points and allowing water to pool near the foundation after heavy rain. Cracks had formed along the control joints and step seams, accelerating deterioration during seasonal freeze-thaw cycles. Concerned about safety, drainage, and curb appeal, the homeowner began searching for concrete lifting and concrete leveling solutions to restore stability without replacing the entire entry.
After Sure-Dry lifted and stabilized the entryway using PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam, precisely raising the settled sections and steps back to proper alignment. Once leveled, we sealed the cracks and joints with NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to prevent water intrusion and future soil erosion beneath the slab. The result is a safe, even entryway with improved drainage and long-term protection against further settlement.
Wet Basement Repaired & Stabilized in Fence, WI
Before The homeowner was experiencing persistent water intrusion along the basement perimeter, especially during heavy rain and spring snowmelt. Moisture was entering at the floor-to-wall joint and through porous foundation walls, leaving damp concrete, musty odors, and elevated humidity levels. Over time, excess moisture had also contributed to weakened support posts and slight floor sag above the basement. Concerned about wet basement repair, indoor air quality, and structural stability, the homeowner began searching for a permanent basement waterproofing and foundation repair solution.
After Sure-Dry installed the DryTrak Interior Drainage System along the basement perimeter to capture wall and floor seepage before it reached the living space without requiring excavation of the slab. A SuperSump Sump Pump System was added to efficiently discharge collected water away from the foundation. We applied the CleanSpace Wall Vapor Barrier System to direct wall moisture into the drainage channel and prevent vapor intrusion. To address structural concerns, the SmartJack Structural Support System was installed to stabilize and lift sagging floor areas. The system was completed with a Sedona SaniDry Dehumidification System to control humidity year-round.
The basement is now dry, structurally supported, and protected against future moisture and settlement issues.
Concrete Repair and Lifting in Mishicot, WI
The stability of any concrete surface is dependent on the soils beneath it. The weight of concrete and what it supports, combined with natural soil erosion, can lead to sunken and uneven concrete surfaces. This was the case for the concrete walkway of this home in Mishicot, WI.
Sure-Dry Basement Systems provided for this walkway an expert concrete repair solution using their PolyLevel® system. PolyLevel® is an expanding polyurethane foam that is injected beneath the concrete to fill the gaps caused by soil erosion and raise and stabilize the concrete surface.
