Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Before: Damp, Dirty, and Inefficient

In Montello, WI, a homeowner contacted Sure-Dry after discovering that their crawl space was damp, musty, and visibly moldy. Cold floors in the winter and high humidity levels throughout the year were also making the home uncomfortable and energy-inefficient.

The crawl space had exposed soil, falling insulation, and air leaks around the rim joists—creating the perfect environment for moisture buildup, wood rot, and poor indoor air quality.

After: A Clean, Dry, and Energy-Efficient Crawl Space

Sure-Dry designed and installed a complete crawl space encapsulation and dehumidification system that included:

• CleanSpace® Vapor Barrier: A durable, bright white liner installed along the floor and walls to seal out ground moisture and create a clean, usable space.

• RimTight™ Spray Foam Insulation: Applied to rim joists and sill plates to stop air leakage and heat loss.

• SaniDry™ Sedona Dehumidifier: Installed to maintain optimal humidity levels year-round and prevent mold growth.

The transformation was immediate. The space is now dry, mold-resistant, energy-efficient, and significantly healthier for the entire home above.

Moisture getting into this crawl space in Plainfield, WI was creating mold and starting to jeopardize the structural integrity of the wood structures throughout the crawl space.  

To solve these homeowners' crawl space problems, Sure-Dry Basement Systems installed their CleanSpace® Crawl Space Vapor Barrier System.

This durable, bright white crawl space liner 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.

With a 25-year warranty against rips and tears, this durable 20-mil poly-reinforced crawl space liner converts your crawl space into a usable storage area. And with its mold-resistant additive "UltraFresh", CleanSpace will never support mildew or mold growth on its surface.

Before:
A homeowner in Plover was dealing with a damp, musty crawl space. Ground moisture and outside air leaks at the rim joists led to elevated humidity, light condensation on wood, and cold floors in winter.

After:
We installed CleanSpace® to encapsulate the crawl space floor and walls (wrapping piers and sealing all seams), added SilverGlo® rigid foam insulation on the walls for thermal performance, and air-sealed rim joists with RimTight™ to block drafts and outside air.

The crawl space is now dry, sealed, and insulated—improving comfort and air quality throughout the home.

Before: A Flooded Crawl Space and an Uncomfortable Home Above

In Tripoli, WI, this homeowner was facing persistent water and humidity issues in their crawl space. During heavy rains, the space would flood—bringing in moisture, mold risk, and musty odors that affected the home above. As an older homeowner, they were no longer able to get down into the crawl space to manage the problem, and it was clear the moisture was taking a toll on both the structure and comfort of the house.

They needed a long-term solution to eliminate water, reduce humidity, and improve the overall energy efficiency of the home—without requiring constant maintenance.

After: A Dry, Sealed, and Energy-Efficient Crawl Space

Sure-Dry installed a complete crawl space waterproofing and insulation system designed to eliminate water intrusion, control humidity, and create a healthier, more stable environment under the home.

What We Installed:

• A new sump pump system to actively remove water

• Drainage matting to direct moisture to the sump system

• CleanSpace® Vapor Barrier to seal out ground moisture and humidity

• Silverglo™ Insulation along the crawl space walls for added energy efficiency

• RimTight™ insulation at the rim joists to stop air leaks and moisture infiltration

• A SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifier to keep humidity in check year-round

• New vent covers to fully seal off exterior air and moisture

Now, the crawl space is dry, clean, and fully encapsulated, making the entire home above warmer in winter, cooler in summer, and much more comfortable overall. The homeowner no longer has to worry about water intrusion or crawl space maintenance.

Before: A homeowner in Wautoma, WI contacted Sure-Dry after discovering standing water and high humidity in their crawl space. The damp environment was causing musty odors, insulation deterioration, and concern about potential mold growth beneath the home.
