Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Before

The homeowner in Shawano, WI had a crawl space with exposed earth, elevated humidity, and cold surfaces that allowed moisture and unconditioned air to affect the home above. Damp conditions and uninsulated crawl space walls contributed to musty odors, energy loss, and concerns about long-term wood and air quality issues.
Inspection confirmed poor vapor control, inadequate insulation, and high humidity levels common in northeastern Wisconsin’s seasonal climate.

After
Sure-Dry completed a crawl space encapsulation and conditioning solution using CleanSpace® vapor barrier to fully seal the crawl space floor and walls, blocking ground moisture from entering the space. SilverGlo® insulation was installed to insulate the crawl space walls, improving thermal performance and helping maintain consistent temperatures. To control moisture long-term, a Sedona® dehumidifier was added to regulate humidity and keep the crawlspace dry year-round.
The crawl space is now sealed, insulated, and conditioned, improving comfort, energy efficiency, and overall indoor air quality.

This crawl space in West Bend was suffering from structural and moisture issues, which were causing issues in the home above. Sure-Dry installed SmartJacks to stabilize the floor above and then installed a combination of CleanSpace Water Vapor Barrier, WaterGuard drainage, and sump pump to safely collect and remove any water that entered. A Sedona SaniDry Dehumidifier was also installed to control the humidity levels in the crawl space and, ultimately, the home above.

The crawl space of this home in Three Lakes, WI had several issues.  Moisture getting into the crawl space was creating mold, causing insulation to "drip",  damaging the wood floor joists and creating a foul smell throughout the home.  Because the crawl space wasn't properly sealed, these homeowners were also losing a lot of heat through the crawl space walls.  

To fix the moisture issues of this crawl space, Sure-Dry Basement Systems installed their CleanSpace® Crawl Space Vapor Barrier System. The CleanSpace® Crawl Space Vapor Barrier System is a durable, bright white crawl space liner that installs on the walls and floors, preventing water vapor and humidity from passing through. By keeping your crawl space dry, you protect your structure and insulation from mold and rot.

To make the crawl space more energy efficient, Sure-Dry installed their SilverGlo™ Crawl Space Wall Insulation panels. In addition to resisting heat conduction, SilverGlo™ boasts a radiant barrier, which reflects heat back into your crawl space for ultimate energy savings. SilverGlo™ crawl space insulation can also be installed on the perimeter of your floor framing system (rim joist) for maximum energy savings.
