Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Before:
A homeowner in Crandon was dealing with a damp, musty crawl space. Exposed soil and seasonal moisture led to high humidity, condensation on wood, and cold first-floor rooms—especially near the rim joists where outside air leaked in.

After:
We encapsulated the crawl space with CleanSpace® vapor barrier (floor, walls, and wrapped piers), insulated the walls with SilverGlo® rigid foam, air-sealed the rim joists with RimTight™, and installed an UltraSump® system to actively remove any collected water—even during outages with its battery backup.

The crawl space is now clean, dry, sealed, and insulated—improving comfort, air quality, and energy efficiency year-round.

Before:
The homeowners in Crandon were dealing with standing water in their crawl space, musty odors throughout the home, and cold floors during the winter months. Inspection showed groundwater seepage, exposed soil, failing insulation, and significant air leakage at the rim joists. The combination of sandy soils, high moisture, and seasonal temperature swings — common in Forest County — was contributing to both humidity and heat loss.

After:
Sure-Dry installed a SuperSump® system to control groundwater and added CleanSpace® encapsulation to seal the crawl space from moisture. RimTight™ was used to reduce perimeter air leakage, while SilverGlo® insulation improved thermal performance throughout the floor system. A Sedona SaniDry® unit now maintains dry, conditioned air within the space.
The completed system keeps the crawl space dry, energy-efficient, and protected from Crandon’s challenging seasonal moisture conditions.

This crawl space in Appleton was very inefficient which was affecting the comfort and moisture levels of the home above it. To fix these issues, we installed a combination of SilverGlo™ Crawl Space Wall Insulation panels, CleanSpace and RimTight joist insulation to effectively separate and protect the crawl space from outdoor conditions, helping keep it, and the home clean and dry.

Homeowners in Appleton, WI are not enjoying the cold air this winter is bringing but they have started to notice their floors being too cold and it seems as though their house is harder to heat. Confused at what was going on they decided to call experts at Sure-Dry.

Our crew came over and analyzed the situation. They discovered that the cold air was entering through their crawlspace. Eager to get the problem resolved, we installed our SilverGlo Liner. Our SilverGlo product is extremely useful in heating crawlspaces. It is made of an insulated foam and tiny particles inside the foam reflect heat back into the crawlspace while also insulating it. 

These homeowners are relieved to know they aren't paying for a higher heating bill when it's not needed and to simply know their home is not open to the cold, winter air.
