Crawl Space Vapor Barrier Installation & Floor Joist Repair in Florence, WI
Before
In Florence, WI, this home’s crawl space was plagued by moisture, humidity, and sagging floor joists — classic signs of unprotected below-grade space in a climate with heavy snowmelt and seasonal storms. The dirt crawl space allowed ground moisture to evaporate into the air, which raised humidity, led to wood rot, and made the floors feel “soft” and uneven. The homeowner was concerned about long-term structural issues and indoor air quality, and knew they needed a professional crawl space encapsulation solution rather than quick fixes.
After
Sure-Dry completed a comprehensive crawl space encapsulation using the SmartJack Structural Support System, CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System, SilverGlo Crawl Space Insulation Panels, and a buried discharge solution with IceGuard Protection to handle condensate and sump discharge below frost depth. The CleanSpace vapor barrier seals soil moisture at the source while SilverGlo insulation stabilizes temperature and improves energy efficiency. SmartJacks were installed to reinforce floor support and level joists, enhancing structural integrity. The buried discharge line with IceGuard ensures water is safely moved away from the home without freezing issues in winter. The crawl space is now clean, dry, and fully protected against moisture, humidity, and structural concerns — giving the homeowner peace of mind and a healthier, more durable home environment.
Dusty Crawlspace gets Encapsulation in Two Rivers, WI
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.
Crawl Space Encapsulation & Sump Pump Install in Two Rivers, WI
Before
A homeowner in Two Rivers, WI was dealing with a damp, unprotected crawl space where exposed surfaces allowed ground moisture to continually enter the space. Conditions like these can lead to musty odors, elevated humidity, wood rot and an environment where mold can thrive.
Crawl spaces are especially vulnerable to moisture in Wisconsin. Seasonal rain, snowmelt and changing groundwater levels can introduce water beneath the home, while exposed soil continuously releases water vapor into the crawl space. Because air from the crawl space can also move upward into the living areas, moisture problems below the home can affect the comfort and air quality throughout the house.
After
Sure-Dry transformed the crawl space using the CleanSpace® Crawl Space Encapsulation System. The durable liner was installed across the crawl space to isolate the home from ground moisture and create a cleaner, brighter and more controlled environment beneath the house.
Unlike a basic plastic vapor barrier, CleanSpace is a heavy-duty encapsulation material designed specifically for crawl spaces. Its reinforced construction provides long-term durability while helping prevent moisture vapor from continually entering the space from below.
To manage water that may enter the crawl space, we also installed a SmartSump™ Crawl Space Sump Pump. Designed specifically for crawl space applications, the SmartSump collects groundwater and directs it safely away from the home before it can accumulate beneath the CleanSpace system.
With the crawl space encapsulated and a dedicated sump system in place, the homeowner now has a cleaner, drier and better-protected area beneath the home, along with greater protection against the moisture problems common in Wisconsin crawl spaces.

Crawl Space Moisture & Insulation Issues Resolved in Two Rivers, WI
Before
A homeowner in Two Rivers, WI had an unprotected crawl space where exposed ground and foundation walls were allowing moisture and outside temperatures to affect the area beneath the home. The damp conditions and lack of insulation made the crawl space harder to control and could contribute to musty odors, elevated humidity and uncomfortable floors in the living space above.
Wisconsin's changing seasons can be especially hard on crawl spaces. Moisture from the ground can continually enter as water vapor, while cold winter temperatures transfer through uninsulated foundation walls. Instead of treating the crawl space as an outside environment, the homeowner needed a system that would address both moisture and temperature.
After
Sure-Dry encapsulated the crawl space using the CleanSpace® Crawl Space Encapsulation System. The durable liner was installed to isolate the home from the damp ground below, creating a cleaner, brighter and more controlled environment beneath the house.
We also installed SilverGlo™ Crawl Space Wall Insulation along the crawl space walls. SilverGlo combines rigid foam insulation with a radiant barrier surface to reduce heat transfer through the foundation walls and improve the crawl space's thermal performance.
Together, CleanSpace and SilverGlo address two major crawl space concerns: ground moisture and heat loss. With the crawl space sealed and insulated, the homeowner now has a cleaner, drier and more energy-efficient space that is better protected from Wisconsin's seasonal temperature and moisture changes.

Craw Space Encapsulation Solved Air Quality Issues in Two Rivers, WI
Before
A homeowner in Two Rivers, WI was concerned about the air coming from beneath their home. The crawl space had a noticeable musty odor, along with a dry, sandy and dusty environment that was contributing to poor conditions beneath the living space.
An exposed crawl space floor can affect a home even when there isn't standing water. Moisture vapor can rise from the ground and contribute to musty smells, while exposed sandy soil can leave the area dusty and dirty. Because air naturally moves from lower areas of a home upward, crawl space air can eventually make its way into the living areas above.
The homeowner wanted more than a cosmetic improvement—they wanted to separate the house from the exposed ground beneath it and create a cleaner crawl space environment.
After
Sure-Dry encapsulated the crawl space with the CleanSpace® Crawl Space Encapsulation System.
The durable CleanSpace liner was installed across the exposed crawl space floor, creating a physical barrier between the home and the sandy soil below. This helps prevent ground moisture from continually entering the crawl space as water vapor while also containing the dust and debris associated with an exposed dirt floor.
Unlike thin plastic sheeting, CleanSpace is a heavy-duty, reinforced material specifically designed for long-term use in crawl spaces. Its bright surface also transforms a dark, dirty area into a much cleaner space that's easier to access and inspect.
With the exposed sandy ground isolated beneath CleanSpace, the homeowner now has a cleaner, more controlled crawl space that helps address the source of the musty odors and dusty conditions they had been experiencing.
