Crawl Space Sealed & Waterproofed in Minocqua, WI
Check out the before and after of this crawl space in Minocqua, WI that was suffering from severe moisture issues, which was leading to rotting wood and mold growth, and was causing the home above to suffer from high humidity, foul/musty odors, and structural issues. To fix these issues, we fully encapsulated (sealed) the crawl space with our crawl space Vapor Barrier system. The homeowners were thrilled with the results and excited to enjoy a drier, more comfortable, and better-smelling home.
Your home is a system, and every part of that system plays a role that affects the rest of the structure. If your crawl space begins to rot, grow mold, or experience structural problems, this will extend to every part of your home.
Crawl Space Moisture Solutions in Minocqua, WI
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.
Moisture & Insulation Crawl Space Issues Resolved Leading to a More Comfortable Home in Minocqua, WI
Before
A homeowner in Minocqua, WI, had an unsealed crawl space that allowed ground moisture and outside air to affect the area beneath the home. In the Northwoods, cold winters, humid summers, snowmelt, and changing soil moisture can make an untreated crawl space difficult to keep dry and energy efficient. The homeowner needed a comprehensive crawl space repair solution that addressed moisture, cold foundation walls, and air leakage around the rim joists.
After
Sure-Dry installed the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System to encapsulate the crawl space and isolate the home from moisture in the ground below. SilverGlo Crawl Space Insulation Panels were installed along the foundation walls to provide an additional thermal barrier, while RimTight was used around the rim joist area to help seal air leaks where outside air can enter the crawl space.
Together, the encapsulation, insulation, and air-sealing improvements created a cleaner, drier, and better-insulated crawl space while helping the homeowner improve comfort and energy efficiency throughout the home.

Crawl Space Moisture & Odor Issues Resolved with Vapor Barrier System in Minocqua, WI
Before
A homeowner in Minocqua, WI, was dealing with a damp, exposed crawl space where moisture from the ground could contribute to musty odors, elevated humidity, and poor conditions beneath the home. Crawl spaces throughout the Northwoods are especially vulnerable to seasonal moisture, changing groundwater conditions, and Wisconsin’s freeze-thaw cycles. The homeowner needed a crawl space repair solution that would isolate the home from the damp earth below.
After
Sure-Dry installed the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System to fully encapsulate the crawl space. The durable liner was installed across the floor and extended up the foundation walls, creating a continuous barrier between the home and moisture from the exposed ground.
By controlling ground moisture instead of allowing it to enter the crawl space, the encapsulation helps create a cleaner, drier environment beneath the home while reducing conditions that can contribute to musty odors and excess humidity.
