Sure-Dry Before & After Photos

Before:
The homeowner had a damp, musty crawl space with exposed soil and seasonal puddling near the access. Humid outside air and pests were entering through an unsealed hatch, leading to condensation on ducts, cold floors above, and persistent odors throughout the home.

After:
We encapsulated the crawl space with the CleanSpace® vapor barrier, mechanically fastened up walls and sealed across the floor with tight, taped seams. A SuperSump® was installed to collect and discharge any groundwater or condensation. To control humidity year-round, we added a Sedona dehumidifier set to maintain healthy RH levels and piped its condensate to the sump. Finally, we installed a Turtle™ crawl space entrance cover to create a weather-tight, pest-resistant access point.

The crawl space is now clean, dry, and isolated from outdoor air—improving comfort and air quality in the living space above.

Before the project, the homeowner in Minocqua, WI was dealing with recurring water seepage along the cove joint where the basement floor meets the foundation walls, especially during heavy rains and spring snowmelt. Water tracked along the perimeter slab, left damp bands and efflorescence on the concrete, and occasionally pooled in low spots, making the basement unreliable for storage and future finishing. An older sump pump sat in a basic pit without a continuous interior drainage system, so hydrostatic pressure beneath the slab simply forced groundwater to 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 can reach the floor surface. The drainage channel was set in a stone bed with a wall flange to capture wall and cove seepage and was routed directly into a new SuperSump® sump pump system, providing a sealed liner, airtight lid, and high-capacity pump tied into a properly routed discharge line. The WaterGuard interior French drain was then covered with new concrete to restore a clean, finished floor edge and deliver a long-term interior drainage system basement solution for this Minocqua home.
The homeowner now has a dry, healthier basement environment and confidence that this basement waterproofing system will protect their Northwoods property through future storms and snowmelt cycles.

The concrete floor of this garage in Hazelhurst, WI was sunken, uneven and had dangerous, unsightly cracks. Sure-Dry Basement Systems was able to lift and level the garage floor with their PolyLevel® Injection Foam 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.

To repair the cracks, Sure-Dry applied their NexusPro system. NexusPro is a silicone-based sealant for joints and cracks specially formulated to provide long-lasting flexibility and to stand up to harsh weather conditions. Unlike traditional polyurethane sealants, NexusPro resists UV rays, which means it won't crack, bubble or dry out. That means a single application can seal the joints and cracks in your concrete driveway, patio, pool deck or sidewalk for years to come, protecting it from damage caused by soil compaction and washout.
