Dirt Crawl Space Repaired with Vapor Barrier, Insulation & Drainage System in Rib Lake, Wi
Before
This crawl space had a sand and dirt floor that allowed constant ground moisture to migrate into the space, contributing to damp conditions, musty odors, and elevated humidity levels. The exposed earth combined with unsealed rim joists created pathways for moisture and cold air intrusion, while the lack of a reliable drainage and pumping system left the crawl space vulnerable to water accumulation during heavy rain and snowmelt—clear indicators that crawl space repair and crawl space encapsulation were needed.
After
Sure-Dry encapsulated the crawl space by installing CleanSpace® Vapor Barrier over the sand and dirt floor to block ground moisture, sealed and insulated the rim joists with RimTight™ to stop air leakage, and added a SmartSump® system to actively manage groundwater and protect against flooding.
The crawl space is now dry, sealed, and properly protected, helping improve indoor air quality, energy efficiency, and long-term structural durability.
