Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Before
The crawl space in Marinette, WI had a dirt floor and failing insulation that was falling down from the walls and rim joists, leaving the space exposed to moisture, cold air, and energy loss. Ground moisture was able to evaporate directly into the crawl space, contributing to damp conditions, musty odors, and inconsistent temperatures throughout the home. These issues are common in Wisconsin crawl spaces where exposed soil and poorly installed insulation lead to ongoing moisture and comfort problems.

After
The crawl space was fully encapsulated with CleanSpace® to seal off the dirt floor and foundation surfaces, preventing ground moisture from entering the space. Crawl space walls were insulated with SilverGlo® rigid foam panels, replacing the failing insulation and providing consistent thermal performance and moisture resistance.
The crawl space is now sealed, dry, and properly insulated, improving indoor comfort, air quality, and long-term energy efficiency.

Before
The homeowner in Marinette, WI had a crawlspace with exposed soil, elevated moisture levels, and unsealed rim joists that allowed damp air and cold temperatures to affect the home above. Persistent humidity contributed to musty odors, energy loss, and concern about long-term wood and insulation performance.
Inspection confirmed poor vapor control, insufficient insulation, and air leakage at the rim joist area—common issues in northeastern Wisconsin due to seasonal moisture and temperature swings.

After
Sure-Dry completed a crawlspace encapsulation using CleanSpace® vapor barrier to fully seal the crawlspace floor and walls, blocking ground moisture and outside air infiltration. SilverGlo® insulation was installed along the crawlspace walls to improve thermal performance, while RimTight® joist insulation sealed the rim joists to reduce air leakage and heat loss.
The crawlspace is now dry, sealed, and insulated, improving comfort, energy efficiency, and overall indoor air quality throughout the home.

Before
The homeowner in Marinette, WI had a crawlspace with a concrete floor and exposed brick foundation walls that were experiencing active water intrusion during heavy rain and seasonal snowmelt. Water was entering along the wall-to-floor joint and through the masonry, leading to standing water, elevated humidity, and concern about long-term moisture damage.
Inspection confirmed hydrostatic pressure at the footing, moisture migration through the brick walls, and inadequate pumping capacity to manage groundwater effectively.

After
Sure-Dry installed a complete crawlspace waterproofing and moisture control system, including the WaterGuard® interior drainage system to capture groundwater at the footing and direct it to a new SuperSump® primary sump pump paired with an UltraSump® battery backup for protection during power outages. To control humidity and moisture long-term, a Sedona® dehumidifier was installed to maintain dry, consistent conditions throughout the crawlspace.
The crawlspace is now dry, controlled, and protected from both water intrusion and excess humidity.

Many homeowners don't know that over time their lumber supports can begin to deteriorate due to mold growth and rotting. 

After hearing about our free estimate and inspections, homeowners in Menominee, MI gave us a call to have us look at their crawlspace's ceiling because the floor above was sagging. 

Our team installed 6 SmartJacks to straighten and strengthen the sagging floors over the crawlspace. These SmartJacks are made of galvanized steel and will not mold or rot. In fact, they can even be adjusted to any room length and are a perfect solution to raising floors back to their original location. 

These homeowners couldn't be happier with the result and are filled with joy knowing their support system is in good hands. 

Before tackling this homeowner's dilemma in Menominee, MI, the exposed crawl space was more than just an eyesore—it was a beacon for moisture, pests, and potential damage. The transformation, as captured in these before and after photos, is stark. We installed CleanSpace, eliminating these threats by thoroughly sealing off the area. Notice in the after photo how the space is now clean, safe, and efficiently protected. By choosing us, the homeowner gained peace of mind and a vastly improved home environment.
