Expert Rhinelander, WI's Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repair Company

A homeowner in Rhinelander, WI needed more than a simple vapor barrier beneath their home. Moisture could enter through the exposed ground, while the foundation walls and rim joist areas provided additional opportunities for heat loss and outside air to enter the crawl space. Water also needed a reliable way to be collected and removed.

Sure-Dry designed a comprehensive crawl space repair system that addressed each of these areas.

The first part of the solution was CleanSpace®. This durable crawl space liner was installed to isolate the home from the ground below, helping prevent soil moisture and water vapor from entering the crawl space. Compared with simply laying thin plastic over the soil, CleanSpace provides a durable, long-term encapsulation system.

Next, SilverGlo™ rigid foam insulation was installed along the crawl space foundation walls. Insulating the perimeter helps reduce heat transfer through the foundation and is an important part of creating a more controlled environment beneath the home.

The crew then addressed the rim joist with RimTight™. The rim joist can be a significant source of outside air infiltration. Air sealing and insulating this area helps complete the thermal envelope around the crawl space rather than leaving a vulnerable area above the foundation walls.

Finally, Sure-Dry installed a SmartSump™ system to collect and remove water that reaches the crawl space.

This combination is particularly valuable in Rhinelander and throughout Northern Wisconsin, where snowmelt, changing soil moisture and significant seasonal temperature swings can all affect conditions beneath a home.

Instead of addressing just one symptom, the completed system tackles the crawl space from multiple directions: CleanSpace controls ground moisture, SilverGlo insulates the foundation walls, RimTight seals and insulates the rim joist, and SmartSump provides reliable water management.

The result is a cleaner, drier, better insulated and more controlled crawl space beneath this Rhinelander home.

When a homeowner in Rhinelander, WI looked beneath their home, one of the biggest concerns was just how dusty and dirty the crawl space had become. The exposed ground allowed soil and dust to remain part of the environment directly underneath the home's living space.

Sure-Dry recommended CleanSpace® crawl space encapsulation to isolate the home from the exposed ground and create a cleaner environment below.

CleanSpace is a durable crawl space liner designed to cover exposed soil and help prevent ground moisture from entering the crawl space as water vapor. The liner was carefully installed throughout the space and fitted around the necessary obstacles to provide thorough coverage.

This is particularly valuable in Northern Wisconsin, where changing seasons, snowmelt and fluctuations in soil moisture can affect conditions beneath a home. Rather than leaving exposed dirt beneath the structure, CleanSpace creates a physical barrier between the ground and the crawl space.

The difference was immediately noticeable. Instead of a dusty, dirty area beneath the house, the homeowner was left with a clean, bright and much more controlled crawl space.

A homeowner in Rhinelander, WI wanted a long-term solution to protect their crawl space from moisture and water while also creating a cleaner, better insulated environment beneath the home.

Crawl spaces can be particularly vulnerable to moisture because water vapor can continually enter through exposed soil while groundwater can find its way beneath the foundation during wet periods. Northern Wisconsin’s seasonal temperature swings, snowmelt and changing soil moisture can make controlling the environment beneath the home even more important.

Sure-Dry designed a crawl space encapsulation and waterproofing system using several products that work together.

The crawl space was encapsulated with CleanSpace®, a durable liner installed across the crawl space to isolate the home from ground moisture. Unlike a thin plastic vapor barrier laid loosely over the soil, CleanSpace is designed as a long-term crawl space encapsulation solution that creates a cleaner and more controlled environment beneath the home.

SilverGlo™ insulation was installed along the crawl space foundation walls. The rigid foam panels help reduce heat transfer through the foundation walls while complementing the encapsulation system.

Water entering the crawl space is handled by a SmartSump™ sump pump system specifically designed for crawl space applications. Water is collected and pumped safely away from the home instead of being allowed to accumulate beneath the structure.

Sure-Dry also installed a battery backup system. This provides an additional level of protection by allowing backup pumping capacity during a power outage—exactly when heavy storms can create some of the greatest demand on a waterproofing system.

With CleanSpace controlling ground moisture, SilverGlo insulating the foundation walls, and the SmartSump with battery backup managing water, this Rhinelander homeowner now has a much cleaner, drier and better protected crawl space.

A homeowner in Rhinelander, WI contacted Sure-Dry after noticing that the floors inside their home were beginning to slope. While the symptoms were noticeable upstairs, the source of the problem was located underneath the home in the crawl space.

An inspection of the crawl space showed that the floor system was no longer receiving the support it needed. When crawl space beams and floor joists begin to sag or their supporting columns settle, homeowners can start noticing sloping floors, uneven areas and movement in the rooms above.

Sure-Dry recommended SmartJack® supports to strengthen and stabilize the affected floor system.

SmartJacks are engineered steel crawl space supports installed beneath the home's existing beams. Each support is positioned to transfer the weight from the floor system through the SmartJack and onto a stable base below. Because the system is adjustable, the crew can carefully raise sagging portions of the floor toward their original position when conditions allow.

This adjustability also provides an important long-term advantage. If additional adjustment becomes necessary in the future, the SmartJack system can be serviced without replacing the entire support system.

With the SmartJacks installed beneath the affected areas, the floor system now has permanent structural support designed to prevent continued sagging and provide a more stable floor above.

A homeowner in Rhinelander, WI contacted Sure-Dry after noticing significant settlement affecting the lower level of their bi-level home, where the garage was located. This wasn't simply an uneven concrete floor—the foundation itself was experiencing settlement along with the floor, making it a structural concern that needed to be addressed.

During the inspection, Sure-Dry discovered numerous voids beneath the concrete. Areas that should have been supported by soil instead had open space beneath them, helping explain why the floor and foundation were sinking.

In Northern Wisconsin, changes in soil moisture and repeated freeze-thaw cycles can contribute to movement and consolidation of the soils surrounding and supporting a home. Once those soils can no longer adequately support the structure above them, symptoms such as sinking floors, cracks, separation and uneven areas can begin to appear.

Sure-Dry recommended Push Piers to address the structural settlement. Heavy-duty steel brackets were secured to the foundation, and engineered steel piers were hydraulically driven through the unstable soil until reaching competent load-bearing soil or bedrock.

With the piers installed, the weight of the affected portion of the home could be transferred from the failing upper soils to the stronger supporting material below. The pier system also provided an opportunity to carefully raise the settled lower level toward its original elevation while permanently stabilizing the foundation against additional settlement.

This project was a good example of why sinking concrete shouldn't always be viewed as just a concrete problem. When the floor and the foundation are both moving—and significant voids are discovered beneath the area—correctly identifying and addressing the underlying structural issue is critical.

With the Push Pier system in place, the lower level of this Rhinelander bi-level home now has deep, stable support designed to protect the structure well into the future.

A homeowner in Rhinelander, WI contacted Sure-Dry about settling concrete affecting both the garage apron and an extensive sidewalk around the home. The walkway splits to provide access to different areas of the property, including a section that continues toward the back of the home. With multiple slabs settling at different rates, uneven transitions and joints had developed throughout the concrete.

Sure-Dry inspected the affected areas and found that settlement and loss of support beneath the slabs were contributing to the problem. In Northern Wisconsin, exterior concrete is subjected to changing soil moisture along with repeated freezing and thawing. When soils settle, wash out or shrink beneath a slab, voids can form and leave the concrete without uniform support.

To repair the concrete without the disruption of removing and replacing the existing slabs, Sure-Dry used PolyLevel®. Small injection holes were strategically drilled through the concrete before high-density polyurethane foam was injected beneath the slabs. The expanding foam filled voids, stabilized the concrete and allowed the crew to carefully lift areas of the garage apron and sidewalks back toward the proper elevations.

Traditional mudjacking uses a much heavier cement-based slurry and typically requires larger injection holes. PolyLevel's lightweight material places less additional weight on the underlying soils, allows for precise lifting and cures quickly.

Once the lifting and stabilization were complete, Sure-Dry applied NexusPro® Joint Sealant to the appropriate cracks and joints. This helps reduce water intrusion beneath the repaired concrete, an important consideration when protecting slabs from additional erosion and freeze-thaw damage.

The completed repair improved the garage entrance as well as the branching sidewalk system, giving the homeowner more stable and even concrete for walking around and accessing the front and back of the property.

A homeowner in Rhinelander, WI was facing a serious settlement problem with their garage. Movement beneath the foundation was affecting the structure and putting the existing concrete slab at risk. Without addressing the cause of the settlement, the garage could continue to move, leading to additional cracking, uneven concrete and potentially much more extensive repairs.

Sure-Dry evaluated the structure and determined that the problem originated with the soils supporting the garage. Rather than focusing only on the visible damage, the goal was to transfer the weight of the structure away from the unstable soils and onto a more reliable load-bearing layer below.

To accomplish this, Sure-Dry installed Push Piers. These engineered steel piers are hydraulically driven beneath the foundation through weak or unstable soil until reaching competent load-bearing soil or bedrock. Steel foundation brackets connect the pier system to the structure, allowing the weight of the garage to be transferred onto the piers.

Stabilizing the garage was particularly important because it provided an opportunity to save the existing concrete slab rather than allowing settlement to continue until replacement or more extensive structural repairs became necessary.

Rhinelander and other Northern Wisconsin communities experience significant seasonal changes, including frost and repeated freeze-thaw cycles that can contribute to soil movement around foundations. Push Piers bypass those problematic upper soil layers and provide support from deeper, more reliable material.

With the Push Piers installed, the garage was permanently stabilized and the existing concrete slab was protected from continued foundation settlement.

A Rhinelander, WI homeowner contacted Sure-Dry for help with settling concrete affecting both the garage apron and the concrete steps leading up to the patio in front of the home. The movement had created uneven areas and noticeable changes in elevation, particularly where vehicles entered the garage and where family and visitors walked up toward the patio.

During the inspection, the Sure-Dry System Design Specialist evaluated the affected slabs and identified areas where the supporting soils beneath the concrete had settled or developed voids. This type of concrete settlement is especially common in Northern Wisconsin, where moisture changes and seasonal freeze-thaw conditions continually affect the soils supporting exterior concrete.

Rather than removing and replacing otherwise serviceable concrete or using traditional mudjacking, Sure-Dry recommended PolyLevel®. Small injection holes were drilled through the affected slabs, allowing high-density polyurethane foam to be injected beneath the concrete. As the material expanded, it filled voids, stabilized the slabs and provided controlled lifting to improve the elevations around the garage apron and front steps. PolyLevel is lightweight, waterproof and fast-curing, while requiring smaller injection holes than traditional mudjacking.

After the lifting was completed, NexusPro® Joint Sealant was used to seal the appropriate cracks and joints. Keeping water from entering beneath repaired concrete is an important part of protecting the underlying soils from additional erosion and settlement. NexusPro is designed to remain flexible and resist UV exposure and harsh weather conditions.

With the garage apron stabilized and the concrete steps leading to the front patio repaired and sealed, the homeowner was left with safer walking surfaces, smoother transitions and concrete better protected against Rhinelander's changing seasonal conditions.

This Rhinelander, WI home had considerably more concrete surrounding it than the average property. A large wraparound sidewalk and patio extended roughly 6 feet wide in many areas—approximately the width of two traditional sidewalks placed side by side.

Over time, portions of this large concrete surface had settled as voids developed beneath the slabs. The result was uneven concrete, low areas and transitions that were no longer as level as they once were. With such a substantial amount of existing concrete around the home, removing and replacing everything would have been a major project.

Sure-Dry's concrete repair crew used PolyLevel® to lift and stabilize the settled slabs. Small injection holes were strategically drilled through the concrete, and lightweight polyurethane foam was injected beneath the surface. As the material expanded, it filled underlying voids while allowing our crew to carefully raise the concrete and improve the elevation between neighboring slabs.

PolyLevel is particularly useful on large concrete lifting projects because it requires much smaller injection holes than traditional mudjacking, adds very little additional weight to potentially unstable soils and cures quickly.

Those benefits are especially valuable in the Rhinelander area, where seasonal moisture, changing soil conditions and repeated Northern Wisconsin freeze-thaw cycles can contribute to concrete settlement.

By lifting and stabilizing the existing concrete instead of replacing it, Sure-Dry was able to preserve this home's extensive wraparound sidewalk and patio while providing a more level, stable surface around the property.

A Rhinelander, WI homeowner had a garage apron that had settled more than an inch below the garage floor. Instead of a smooth transition into the garage, vehicles had to climb over a significant lip every time they pulled inside.

Our concrete repair crew evaluated the apron and determined that the existing concrete could be lifted and stabilized rather than replaced. In Northern Wisconsin, repeated freeze-thaw cycles combined with soil movement and erosion beneath concrete can create voids that eventually allow heavy slabs to sink.

Sure-Dry used PolyLevel® polyurethane foam to lift the garage apron. Small injection holes were drilled through the concrete, allowing the lightweight material to reach the voids beneath the slab. As PolyLevel expanded, our crew carefully controlled the lift to bring the apron back toward the elevation of the garage floor.

Compared with traditional mudjacking, PolyLevel requires smaller injection holes, adds significantly less weight to the underlying soil and cures quickly, allowing the repaired concrete to return to service without a lengthy waiting period.

After the lifting was completed, NexusPro® was installed in the joints and cracks. Sealing these openings helps keep water from reaching the soil beneath the concrete, which is particularly important with Rhinelander's freezing temperatures and seasonal freeze-thaw cycles.

The repair dramatically reduced the 1"+ jump at the garage entrance, creating a smoother transition while stabilizing and protecting the existing concrete.

A System Design Specialist completed a full structural assessment of the Rhinelander home and confirmed that the foundation was sinking due to a subsurface mix of buried debris, organic material, and loose historic fill. Crack-monitor readings and laser-level measurements showed measurable settlement along the north and east walls, consistent with uneven failure of the underlying material. Given the depth and variability of the debris field, a deep-pier system was the only reliable method of reaching competent soil.

Sure-Dry installed a series of Push Piers to permanently bypass the unstable layers and anchor the home to solid bearing strata. Technicians advanced each pier hydraulically until achieving refusal pressure, confirming suitable load transfer. Once secure, the team lifted the structure to restore alignment and locked the system into place for long-term stability. This solution provides critical protection for homes in Northern Wisconsin, where older city lots often contain concealed fill and debris that can compromise foundation performance over time.

During the inspection at this Rhinelander, WI property, the Sure-Dry System Design Specialist identified active water intrusion points and inadequate drainage. The existing setup lacked the capacity to manage hydrostatic pressure and direct seepage properly.

Our crew installed a full WaterGuard® drainage system tied into a SuperSump® unit for dependable, high-capacity water removal. With these components in place, the basement now stays consistently dry and protected, providing lasting peace of mind through all northern Wisconsin seasons.

During the inspection, the Sure-Dry System Design Specialist evaluated the water patterns at the cove joint, existing sump location, and discharge route to determine the true source of intrusion. Moisture staining, floor discoloration, and the timing of leaks confirmed that hydrostatic pressure beneath the slab—not just surface runoff—was driving water into the basement. To provide a reliable basement waterproofing Rhinelander WI solution, the specialist recommended a continuous WaterGuard® interior drainage system around the affected areas, tied directly into a properly sized SuperSump® basin. This design collects water from beneath the slab and at the wall-floor joint, then pumps it safely away from the foundation before it can impact the living space.

On installation day, the crew saw-cut and removed a narrow strip of concrete along the designated walls, installed the WaterGuard channel on a drainage stone bed, and pitched it accurately to the new SuperSump basin. They connected the system to an exterior discharge line routed to a suitable daylight location, tested the pump and flow through the interior drainage, and then restored the slab with new concrete for a clean, finished appearance. The result is a comprehensive wet basement repair and musty basement odor solution Wisconsin homeowners can depend on, giving this Rhinelander homeowner a dry, usable basement and long-term protection from future groundwater intrusion.

Objective:

A homeowner in Rhinelander, WI contacted Sure-Dry after dealing with a crawl space that had cracked walls, water intrusion, and poor insulation. The moisture and lack of support were starting to impact the rest of the home—especially the kitchen floor, which was sagging and flexing when walked on. The homeowner wanted a permanent fix for both the structural issues and the moisture problem.

Challenge:

The crawl space walls had been cracked since the home was built two decades ago, and over time, the cracks allowed water in.
