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

A homeowner in Shiocton, WI contacted Sure-Dry after noticing signs of excessive crawl space moisture, including damp conditions and musty odors entering the living space above. During the inspection, the System Design Specialist evaluated moisture levels throughout the crawl space and identified conditions that could lead to continued humidity and water-related issues if left unaddressed. Homes throughout Outagamie County commonly experience crawl space moisture concerns due to Wisconsin's seasonal precipitation and groundwater fluctuations.

To address these concerns, Sure-Dry installed a CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System to help seal the crawl space from ground moisture and humid air. A SuperSump Sump Pump System was also installed to provide dependable water removal when needed. The completed crawl space repair project created a cleaner, drier environment beneath the home and provided the homeowner with a long-term solution for moisture control and protection.

A detailed crawl space inspection was performed to evaluate moisture levels, drainage conditions, and floor support concerns common in homes throughout the Shiocton area. The inspection identified active groundwater intrusion, poor vapor control, rim joist air leakage, and inadequate structural support contributing to sagging floors above the crawl space.

Sure-Dry designed a comprehensive crawl space repair solution combining drainage, encapsulation, structural reinforcement, and humidity control. A SmartSump® system with a secondary SuperSump provides reliable groundwater management, while CleanSpace® Vapor Barrier, and RimTight® Joist Insulation create a sealed, insulated crawl space environment. SmartJack® support posts were installed on stable footings to permanently stabilize the floor system, and a Sedona® SaniDry Dehumidifier now maintains healthy humidity levels year-round. The completed system delivers long-term crawl space encapsulation and structural stability for this Shiocton, WI home.

During a comprehensive inspection in Shiocton, WI, the concrete slab issues were evaluated to determine the cause and extent of the settlement. Soil movement beneath the slabs and water infiltration through open cracks were compromising support and creating trip hazards, poor drainage, and ongoing degradation. The design specialist recommended a combined solution to restore both the level and integrity of the concrete surfaces.

The solution involved injecting PolyLevel® Injection Foam beneath the sunken slabs to lift and stabilize them by filling voids with a lightweight expanding polyurethane foam. Once level, joints and cracks were prepared and sealed with NexusPro® Joint Sealant silicone-based sealant to lock the repaired surfaces against water and weather effects. This dual approach ensured the concrete was both structurally sound and shielded from future water-related soil erosion, providing the homeowner with a long-lasting, safe, and aesthetically improved concrete surface.

A full basement inspection was completed to evaluate water entry points, moisture patterns, and drainage conditions common to homes in the Shiocton area, where seasonal groundwater and saturated soils frequently contribute to wet basement issues.

The waterproofing solution combined an interior perimeter drainage system with WaterGuard® Drainage System, a UltraSump® battery backup sump pump system, and CleanSpace® wall vapor barrier installation. WaterGuard was installed below the slab to intercept groundwater and route it efficiently to the sump, while CleanSpace sealed the foundation walls to control vapor intrusion and improve indoor air quality.
