Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Before:
The crawl space had exposed soil, musty odors, and seasonal puddling. Leaky rim joists let in cold, humid air, leaving floors above chilly and adding moisture to the space. Without a dedicated drainage or humidity system, the area felt damp year-round.

After:
We encapsulated the crawl space with CleanSpace®—sealed across the floor and up the walls with tight, taped seams and mechanical fastening. Around the perimeter, joints and penetrations were sealed, and vents were closed to block outside air. We air-sealed and insulated the rim with RimTight™ to stop drafts and reduce condensation. For water management, we installed a SuperSump® with an airtight lid and check valve. Finally, a Sedona dehumidifier was added to maintain healthy relative humidity and drain automatically.

The result is a dry, clean, and tighter crawl space that improves comfort and air quality in the home above.

Before:
A homeowner in Two Rivers, WI was dealing with persistent crawl space moisture, musty odors, and cold floors above the home. The exposed soil and unsealed rim joists allowed damp outside air and lake-influenced humidity to enter the space, leading to insulation damage and elevated wood moisture levels. Seasonal freeze–thaw conditions continued to worsen the crawl space environment, affecting comfort and energy efficiency throughout the home.
After:
Sure-Dry installed CleanSpace® vapor barrier across the crawl space floor and walls to create a continuous, sealed barrier against moisture intrusion. The rim joists were air-sealed using RimTight™ insulation to eliminate drafts, improve the thermal boundary, and protect the structural framing from humid outside air.
The crawl space is now clean, dry, and energy-efficient, improving comfort and long-term durability for the home.

Before:
A homeowner in Kewaunee was facing multiple crawl space issues. Water seeped in at the floor and wall joints, creating damp conditions and musty odors. On top of that, the wooden beams supporting the floor above had weakened, causing noticeable sagging in certain areas of the home.

After:
Our team installed a complete system to address both the moisture and structural concerns. WaterGuard® was installed along the crawl space perimeter to capture water and channel it to the SuperSump® sump pump, which reliably discharges it away from the home. The crawl space was encapsulated with the CleanSpace® vapor barrier, sealing out ground moisture and dramatically improving the environment. To restore structural stability, we installed SmartJack® supports, which reinforced the failing beams and lifted the sagging floors back toward their original position.

The crawl space is now dry, stable, and healthy, giving the homeowner peace of mind knowing their foundation and living space are fully protected.
