Rib Lake, WI's Dependable Contractor for Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repair

During the inspection, the System Design Specialist identified uncontrolled moisture rising through the sand and dirt crawl space floor, along with air leakage at the rim joists and no dependable system to remove intruding water. Given Wisconsin’s seasonal rain and snowmelt conditions, encapsulation combined with active water management was recommended to create a stable, controlled crawl space environment.

The Sure-Dry installation team encapsulated the crawl space using CleanSpace® vapor barrier, sealed the rim joists with RimTight™, and installed a SmartSump® system to collect and discharge groundwater away from the home. This integrated crawl space repair solution now delivers a cleaner, drier space that supports healthier indoor air, improved comfort, and lasting protection for the home.

During the inspection, the System Design Specialist identified moisture intrusion through exposed soil, air leakage at the rim joists, and structural movement caused by inadequate crawl space supports. Given Rib Lake’s cold winters and seasonal moisture conditions, a combined crawl space encapsulation and structural stabilization approach was recommended to address both humidity control and floor support concerns.

The installation team encapsulated the crawl space with CleanSpace® Vapor Barrier, insulated the foundation walls using SilverGlo™, sealed the rim joists with RimTight™, and installed SmartJack® support posts to lift and stabilize the floor framing. This integrated crawl space repair solution now provides a dry, energy-efficient environment while restoring proper structural support and improving overall home comfort.

During the inspection, the System Design Specialist identified moisture migration through the exposed soil and rim joist areas, along with insufficient insulation along the crawl space walls. Given Rib Lake’s cold winters and high seasonal moisture levels, a complete crawl space encapsulation system was recommended to control humidity, improve energy efficiency, and prevent long-term structural concerns commonly associated with crawl space repair in Wisconsin.

The Sure-Dry installation team encapsulated the crawl space with CleanSpace® Vapor Barrier, installed SilverGlo™ insulation panels for continuous thermal protection, and sealed the rim joists with RimTight™ to stop air infiltration at the band board. This integrated solution now delivers a clean, dry, and conditioned crawl space that supports healthier indoor air, lower energy costs, and long-term protection for the home.

A concrete inspection was completed to evaluate settlement patterns, soil conditions, and drainage issues affecting the walkway and garage apron. The assessment confirmed voids beneath the slabs caused by water infiltration and soil washout, resulting in uneven concrete and cracking that posed safety and maintenance concerns.

Sure-Dry designed a concrete lifting and sealing solution using PolyLevel® Injection Foam to lift and stabilize the affected slabs without the need for replacement. After achieving proper elevation and alignment, NexusPro® Joint Sealant was applied to seal all cracks and joints, protecting the repaired concrete from future moisture intrusion and seasonal movement. The completed repair provides a long-lasting concrete leveling and sealing solution for this Rib Lake, WI home.

A full basement inspection was completed to identify water entry points, drainage limitations, and groundwater behavior specific to homes in the Rib Lake area, where saturated soils and seasonal moisture often contribute to wet basement conditions. The inspection confirmed active seepage at the perimeter joint and the absence of an effective sump pump system to manage incoming water.

Sure-Dry designed a basement waterproofing system combining WaterGuard® interior drainage with a professionally installed SuperSump® sump pump system. WaterGuard intercepts groundwater before it reaches the basement floor and directs it to the sump, while the SuperSump provides high-capacity, reliable pumping performance during severe weather. The completed system delivers long-term wet basement repair and dependable sump pump installation for this Rib Lake, WI home.

In Rib Lake, WI, a concerned homeowner reached out to Sure-Dry seeking a solution for their shifting concrete around the garage and walkway. With a wife dependent on a wheelchair, tripping hazards posed a serious threat to safety. Recognizing the urgent need for a stable pathway, they entrusted our experts with their home’s well-being.

Upon receiving the call, our Customer Care Specialist promptly scheduled an inspection. One of our Sales – System Design Specialists performed a detailed analysis to assess the extent of the damage and recommend a suitable solution. The shifting slabs and visible gaps were a result of soil erosion beneath the concrete, creating an unsafe environment.

Our proven solutions, featuring the PolyLevel® and NexusPro® systems, were selected for this project. Our skilled production team commenced the repairs by drilling small, precise holes in the affected slabs. With precision, we injected the PolyLevel high-strength polyurethane foam beneath the surface. As the foam expanded, the slabs lifted, reversing the previous sinking and stabilizing the foundation.

To address any existing cracks and joints, our technicians applied the NexusPro Joint Sealant. This product not only seals potential moisture channels but also withstands environmental stressors without losing its integrity.

The outcome was transformative. The homeowner was relieved to see their property restored to a safe and navigable condition. Our methodical approach and cutting-edge products provided both immediate and lasting results, ensuring peace of mind. Through this project, we demonstrated our commitment to providing remarkable, durable solutions that extend beyond typical expectations.

In Rib Lake, WI, a homeowner faced a persistent problem: their basement continually endured water issues, creating stress and potential damage. They decided it was time to resolve this problem permanently and turned to Sure-Dry for help. Upon reaching out to our Customer Care team, they secured an appointment for a thorough home inspection. Our Sales System Design Specialist conducted an extensive inspection, accurately diagnosing water infiltration as the core issue. 

To offer a comprehensive solution, we proposed and later installed the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, the WaterGuard drainage system, and the UltraSump System. The SaniDry Sedona, the most efficient dehumidifier on the market, was employed to eliminate musty odors and ensure a healthy air environment by lowering humidity levels, thus safeguarding against mold growth and dust mites.

The WaterGuard system was tactically installed below the surface of the basement floor—on top of the footing—to channel water seepage effectively towards the sump pump, optimizing its performance. This drainage solution handles commonly clogged alternatives, like the French drain, with ease by keeping pathways clear and maintaining a dry, useable space within the basement.

For an added layer of security, we deployed the UltraSump System. With a substantial capacity to handle up to 12,000 gallons on a full charge, this reliable, battery-powered backup ensures continued protection, even amid a power outage.

Completion of the project saw the transformation of the once-problematic basement into a dry, comfortable environment. The home was not just water-free but equipped to remain that way, reflecting our core mission to provide our customers with enduring peace of mind and a safeguarded living space. Homeowners, like the one from Rib Lake, can confidently lean on Sure-Dry for proven, reliable basement waterproofing solutions, backed by exceptional local expertise and lasting results.

The crawl space in their recently purchased home was suffering from neglect, displaying damp conditions, compromised support structures, and consequently, sagging floors on the upper level.

Our process began with our Customer Care Specialist facilitating an inspection appointment. Following this, our System Design Specialist performed a comprehensive assessment, identifying moisture-related challenges and structural weaknesses.

To effectively address these issues, we prioritized a Crawl Space Repair utilizing several integral products. The innovative CleanSpace system was chosen to encapsulate the area, effectively sealing away moisture and creating a strong barrier against mold and mildew intrusion. This versatile material is designed to withstand common wear and tear thanks to its robust construction.

Furthermore, our team insulated the rim joists using the RimTight method, boosting the efficiency and insulation of the home by minimizing extraneous air movements and safeguarding against humidity intrusion.
