Sure-Dry Before & After Photos

In Tomahawk, WI, a homeowner faced a flooded crawl space, a common issue that can lead to mold, wood rot, and increased energy bills. As shown in the first photo, moisture was causing significant damage. We addressed this challenge with our CleanSpace® crawl space encapsulation system, highlighted in the second photo. This solution transformed their damp, unusable space into a clean, dry foundation, ensuring lasting protection against future moisture issues. With our proven approach, the homeowner can now enjoy peace of mind knowing their home is safeguarded against potential structural damage.

Before:
In Tomahawk, WI, a homeowner reached out to Sure-Dry after noticing persistent humidity, musty odors, and cool air seeping up from their crawl space. During inspection, our team found exposed soil, damp insulation, and visible signs of condensation on the joists and foundation walls. Without a vapor barrier in place, ground moisture was rising freely into the home, creating poor air quality and potential for structural deterioration.

After:
Sure-Dry encapsulated the entire crawl space with the CleanSpace® vapor barrier system, sealing the floor and walls to block out ground moisture and improve air quality throughout the home. To maintain ideal humidity levels year-round, a SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifier was installed to filter the air and remove excess moisture.
Together, these solutions created a clean, dry, and conditioned crawl space — eliminating musty odors, protecting wood framing, and ensuring lasting comfort for the homeowner above.

Before:
In Tomahawk, WI, a homeowner contacted Sure-Dry after noticing sagging floors and cracks developing along interior walls. Upon inspection, our team found that the crawl space support posts had settled into the soil and were no longer providing proper load-bearing support. Several wooden joists were bowing under pressure, and signs of past moisture exposure had weakened the structure even further — putting the home’s stability at risk.

After:
Sure-Dry installed the SmartJack® floor support system to permanently stabilize and lift the compromised floor system. Each galvanized steel SmartJack® was mounted on an engineered base to prevent future settlement and tightened to restore proper alignment.
After installation, the floors were level, the structure was fully supported, and the homeowner gained peace of mind knowing their crawl space was reinforced with a durable, adjustable solution built to last.

Before the project, the homeowner in Tomahawk, WI was dealing with recurring water seepage along the cove joint where the basement floor meets the walls, especially during heavy rains and spring snowmelt. Water tracked in along the perimeter slab, leaving damp bands, minor puddling in low spots, and efflorescence on the concrete. The existing sump pit was shallow with an older pump and no continuous interior drainage, so hydrostatic pressure beneath the slab simply forced groundwater to the path of least resistance at the wall-floor joint—typical of wet basement repair needs in Wisconsin’s Northwoods.

After Sure-Dry completed the work, the basement was protected by a WaterGuard® interior drainage system installed along the affected walls at the footing to intercept groundwater before it reaches the floor surface. The WaterGuard channel, set in a drainage stone bed with a wall flange to capture wall and cove seepage, was routed directly into a new SuperSump® sump pump system designed for reliable performance in Wisconsin basements. The crew carefully re-poured concrete over the trench to restore a clean, finished floor edge while providing a long-term WaterGuard interior French drain solution for this Tomahawk, WI home.
The homeowner now has a dry, healthier basement environment and confidence that this basement waterproofing system will protect their Northwoods home through future storms and snowmelt cycles.

Before:
In Tomahawk, WI, a homeowner noticed significant structural issues in the basement, including a bowing foundation wall and interior support beams beginning to sag. Lincoln County’s moisture-heavy, mixed soil conditions contributed to lateral pressure against the basement wall, while organic material beneath the home weakened the support structure. Symptoms included uneven floors, popping drywall seams, and a horizontal crack along the center of the failing wall. Water intrusion along the perimeter was also present during heavy rains, signaling rising hydrostatic pressure around the foundation.

After:
Sure-Dry installed a PowerBrace™ system to stabilize the bowing wall and prevent further inward movement. Technicians also installed SmartJack® supports beneath the sagging areas of the floor system, adjusting each to verified load capacity to restore structural integrity. To address the active water intrusion, Sure-Dry added a comprehensive basement water treatment system to manage seepage and reduce hydrostatic pressure.
The home now has stable walls, level floors, and a dry, protected basement—an essential upgrade for properties across Northern Wisconsin’s moisture-responsive soil conditions.
