Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Because it's built directly underneath your home, your crawl space plays a key role in your home's structural integrity. Crawl spaces bear this weight through the foundation walls and crawl space support columns.  The floor joists above the crawl space of this home in Edgar, WI were sagging due to failing support structures.  

To solve this issue, Sure-Dry Basement Systems installed their SmartJack® Crawl Space Stabilizer system.  The SmartJack® Crawl Space Stabilizer 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
The crawl space beneath this Rib Lake, WI home showed clear signs of moisture intrusion and energy loss, including exposed earth, unsealed rim joists, and poorly insulated foundation walls. Seasonal moisture and cold air infiltration were contributing to elevated humidity levels, musty odors, and inconsistent floor temperatures above the crawl space—common indicators that crawl space repair and crawl space encapsulation were needed in this part of north-central Wisconsin.

After
Sure-Dry installed a full crawl space encapsulation system using CleanSpace® Vapor Barrier to fully isolate the crawl space from ground moisture, along with SilverGlo™ insulation panels to improve thermal performance along the foundation walls. The rim joists were sealed and insulated using RimTight™ to eliminate air leakage points and reduce heat loss.
The crawl space is now dry, sealed, and energy efficient, helping protect the home’s structure while improving indoor comfort and air quality.

Before
The crawl space beneath this Rib Lake, WI home showed ongoing moisture exposure, inadequate insulation, and sagging floor structure caused by undersized and settling support posts. Exposed soil allowed ground moisture to migrate upward, while unsealed rim joists and poorly insulated crawl space walls contributed to cold floors and elevated humidity levels. These conditions are common indicators that crawl space repair and crawl space encapsulation were needed to protect the home’s structure and improve energy efficiency.

After
Sure-Dry completed a full crawl space encapsulation and stabilization solution by installing CleanSpace® Vapor Barrier to isolate the crawl space from ground moisture, SilverGlo™ insulation panels along the foundation walls for improved thermal performance, and RimTight™ insulation at the rim joists to eliminate air leakage. To address floor sagging, adjustable SmartJack® support posts were installed to stabilize and permanently support the floor system above.
The crawl space is now dry, sealed, structurally supported, and energy efficient, resulting in improved comfort and long-term protection for the home.
