Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Before

This Wisconsin Rapids, WI homeowner had a crawl space that needed protection from moisture and Wisconsin's changing seasonal conditions. An exposed or poorly protected crawl space can allow ground moisture and humidity into the area beneath the home, contributing to damp or musty conditions. During Wisconsin winters, an uninsulated crawl space can also contribute to cold floors and energy loss in the living space above.

After

Sure-Dry transformed the crawl space using CleanSpace® and SilverGlo®.

CleanSpace was installed to encapsulate the crawl space, creating a durable vapor barrier that isolates the home from ground moisture below. SilverGlo insulation panels were installed along the crawl space walls to improve thermal performance and help protect the space from Wisconsin's temperature extremes.

Together, these crawl space repair solutions created a cleaner, drier, and better-insulated environment beneath the home while helping protect the living space above from moisture and cold conditions.

Before

This Wisconsin Rapids, WI homeowner had a crawl space that needed protection from moisture, groundwater, and Wisconsin's changing seasonal conditions. Ground moisture can continually enter an unprotected crawl space, creating damp or musty conditions beneath the home. Cold air can also enter around the rim joists, while uninsulated foundation walls can contribute to heat loss and cold floors in the living space above.

Water entering the crawl space created another concern. Encapsulation can help control ground moisture, but an effective crawl space waterproofing system also needs a dependable way to collect and remove incoming water.

After

Sure-Dry installed CleanSpace® to encapsulate the crawl space and create a durable vapor barrier between the home and ground moisture below. SilverGlo® insulation panels were installed along the crawl space walls to help reduce heat loss and protect the space from Wisconsin's temperature extremes.

RimTight® spray foam insulation was applied around the rim joist area to help seal gaps where outside air can enter the crawl space. Addressing this area complements the SilverGlo wall insulation and helps create a more complete thermal barrier around the crawl space.

To manage groundwater, Sure-Dry installed a SmartSump® crawl space sump pump system. Water entering beneath the home can now be collected and pumped safely away rather than accumulating beneath the CleanSpace system.

Together, CleanSpace, SilverGlo, RimTight, and SmartSump provide a comprehensive approach to crawl space moisture control, insulation, air sealing, and waterproofing, creating a cleaner, drier, and better-protected space beneath the home.

Before

This Wisconsin Rapids, WI crawl space had moisture concerns that required more than simply covering the exposed ground. Ground moisture, water intrusion, and high humidity can create damp, musty crawl space conditions and affect the environment throughout the home.

Wisconsin's heavy rains, spring snowmelt, humid summers, and changing groundwater conditions can make crawl space moisture control especially important. The homeowner needed a system that could address moisture from the ground, remove incoming water, and control humidity in the air.

After

Sure-Dry encapsulated the crawl space with CleanSpace®, creating a durable vapor barrier that isolates the home from ground moisture and creates a much cleaner crawl space environment.

A SmartSump® crawl space sump pump system was installed to collect and pump incoming groundwater safely away from the home.

To control moisture remaining in the air, Sure-Dry added a SaniDry™ dehumidification system. SaniDry helps maintain lower humidity levels and reduces the damp conditions that can contribute to musty odors and moisture problems.

With encapsulation, water removal, and humidity control working together, this crawl space is now cleaner, drier, and better protected throughout Wisconsin's changing seasons.

Before

This Wisconsin Rapids, WI home had serious structural concerns beneath the living space. The crawl space had a very poor foundation, and the existing floor support system was no longer providing the dependable support the home needed.

When crawl space foundations and supports deteriorate or shift, beams and floor joists can begin to sag. Homeowners may notice uneven or sloping floors, soft areas underfoot, gaps between floors and walls, or other signs of movement inside the home.

After

Sure-Dry installed SmartJack® crawl space support posts to provide additional stabilization beneath the home's floor system.

The adjustable steel supports were strategically positioned beneath the beams to help transfer the weight of the floor system to stable support points below. This provides a much more dependable solution than relying on deteriorating, undersized, or improvised supports commonly found in older crawl spaces.

While SmartJacks do not rebuild the existing foundation itself, they provide engineered structural support where the floor system needs it, helping stabilize sagging and uneven floors above.
