Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Port Washington, WI had a small crawl space that remained damp throughout the year due to exposed soil, unsealed rim joists, and lake-effect moisture coming off Lake Michigan. The damp conditions created musty odors, deteriorating insulation, and uncomfortable floors above. Without proper drainage or vapor protection, the crawl space remained vulnerable during heavy rains and snowmelt.
After:
Sure-Dry encapsulated the crawl space using CleanSpace® vapor barrier to seal the floor and walls against moisture intrusion. The perimeter was air-sealed using RimTight™ to block outside air infiltration, improve energy efficiency, and protect wood components. To manage groundwater and provide reliable pumping capacity, a SuperSump® system was installed for dependable drainage performance.
The crawl space is now clean, dry, and energy-efficient, improving both comfort and long-term protection for the home.

In Mountain, WI, this homeowner faced challenges with an unusable crawl space that emitted a damp, musty smell, potentially affecting living areas above. In the before photo, note the moisture issues characteristic of vented, unsealed spaces. Our solution was to expertly encapsulate the space using CleanSpace, providing a dry, clean, and mold-resistant environment. Additionally, RimTight was installed to insulate and seal the rim joists, preventing unconditioned air infiltration. As seen in the after photo, these industry-leading products transformed the crawl space into a protected, fresh area that enhances both value and comfort.

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. 

This crawl space in Gillett, WI had major issues.  Moisture in the crawl space was creating mold and causing structural issues to the floor joists and existing crawl space supports.  

Sure-Dry Basement Systems was able to restore this crawl space to a safe, clean and healthy space with their CleanSpace® Crawl Space Vapor Barrier and SmartJack® Crawl Space Stabilizer system.  

The CleanSpace® Crawl Space Vapor Barrier 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.

The SmartJack® Crawl Space Stabilizer system is an adjustable supplemental support system used for sagging crawl spaces.  It not only provides supplemental support to your failing structure -- it can also often lift failing floor joists or beams, restoring them to their original position.

Before:
A homeowner in Gillett was dealing with a damp, musty crawl space. Ground moisture led to humidity and condensation on wood, musty odors in the living space, and cold floors during the winter.

After:
We installed the CleanSpace® encapsulation system—lining the crawl space floor and walls, wrapping support piers, and sealing all seams to create a continuous vapor barrier that blocks moisture from the earth.

The crawl space is now clean, dry, and better insulated from ground humidity, improving comfort and air quality throughout the home.
