Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Mold, Moisture & Air Quality Concerns Solved with Full Encapsulation

Before: Mold & Efflorescence Threatening Air Quality

In Antigo, WI, this homeowner discovered visible mold growth and white, powdery efflorescence on pipes in the crawl space. With concerns about air quality, musty smells, and health risks, they knew the space needed to be sealed and protected before things got worse.

After: Clean, Dry & Sealed for Good

Sure-Dry installed a full crawl space encapsulation and insulation system to stop moisture in its tracks and eliminate the conditions that cause mold and decay.

We installed:
• CleanSpace® Vapor Barrier to completely seal floors and walls
• Drainage Matting beneath the liner to manage groundwater
• SilverGlo™ Insulation on the crawl space walls for thermal protection
• RimTight® Joist Insulation to stop air leaks at the top of the space
• A new vent cover to keep outside air and pests out

Now the crawl space is dry, mold-resistant, and protected—improving air quality and comfort throughout the home.

Before

The addition on this Antigo, WI home was built over a crawl space that needed better protection from ground moisture, cold temperatures, and outside air. Crawl spaces beneath additions can be especially noticeable inside the home because cold foundation walls and air leakage around the rim joists can contribute to cold floors and uncomfortable rooms above.

Ground moisture was another concern. Without a proper crawl space vapor barrier, moisture from the exposed ground can continually enter the space and contribute to damp or musty conditions beneath the addition.

After

Sure-Dry encapsulated the crawl space with CleanSpace®, creating a durable vapor barrier that isolates the addition from ground moisture below.

The foundation walls were insulated with SilverGlo® rigid insulation panels to help reduce heat loss through the crawl space walls.

RimTight® spray foam insulation was then applied around the rim joists to seal gaps and reduce outside air infiltration. This is particularly valuable during Northern Wisconsin winters, when cold air entering around the perimeter of a crawl space can contribute to cold floors in the room above.

Together, CleanSpace, SilverGlo, and RimTight transformed the area beneath the addition into a cleaner, drier, better-insulated crawl space.

Before

This Antigo, WI crawl space needed protection from ground moisture, water intrusion, and Northern Wisconsin's changing temperatures. Without proper encapsulation, moisture from the soil can continually enter a crawl space and contribute to damp conditions, musty odors, and elevated humidity beneath the home.

Groundwater was also a concern, making it important to provide a dedicated way to collect and remove water rather than simply covering the crawl space floor.

After

Sure-Dry installed CleanSpace® throughout the crawl space to create a durable vapor barrier between the home and moisture from the ground below.

The foundation walls were insulated with SilverGlo® rigid insulation panels. This helps reduce heat loss through the crawl space walls and provides additional protection from Antigo's cold winter temperatures.

To manage water entering beneath the home, Sure-Dry installed a SmartSump® crawl space sump pump system. Incoming groundwater can now be collected and pumped safely away rather than accumulating inside the crawl space.

Together, CleanSpace, SilverGlo, and SmartSump provide moisture control, insulation, and water management to create a cleaner, drier, and better-protected crawl space.

Before

This Antigo, WI home had a small crawl space located beneath an addition that needed better protection from ground moisture and Northern Wisconsin's cold temperatures.

Even a small crawl space can affect the living area directly above it. Moisture from exposed soil can contribute to damp or musty conditions, while uninsulated foundation walls can allow cold temperatures to reach the floor system and contribute to uncomfortable floors during the winter.

After

Sure-Dry encapsulated the crawl space with CleanSpace®, creating a durable vapor barrier between the addition and ground moisture below.

The crawl space foundation walls were also insulated with SilverGlo® rigid insulation panels. SilverGlo helps reduce heat loss through the foundation walls and provides additional thermal protection beneath the addition during Antigo's cold winter months.

Although this was a relatively small area beneath the home, properly encapsulating and insulating it can make a meaningful difference in protecting the space above. The finished crawl space is now cleaner, drier, and better insulated throughout Wisconsin's changing seasons.

Before:
A homeowner in Omro had sagging, bouncy floors over a crawl space. Old wood posts were resting on soil, shims were crushed, and seasonal moisture softened bearing points—leading to dips along the main beam and sticky doors upstairs.

After:
We installed SmartJacks® adjustable steel supports on engineered footings throughout the crawl space, added a supplemental steel beam where spans were over-stressed, and pre-loaded the jacks to re-establish proper bearing and reduce deflection.

The floors are now solid and level, and the home has a clean, adjustable support system for long-term stability.
