Sure-Dry serving Sturgeon Bay, WI

A homeowner in Sturgeon Bay, WI contacted Sure-Dry after dealing with moisture concerns and uncomfortable conditions caused by an exposed crawl space beneath the home. The homeowner noticed dampness, cooler floors during Wisconsin winters, and signs that moisture and outside air were impacting the area below the living space. During the inspection, our team identified humidity intrusion, insufficient insulation, and water management concerns commonly found in crawl spaces throughout the region.
To restore and protect the crawl space, our crew installed the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System across the crawl space surfaces, added SilverGlo Crawl Space Insulation Panels for improved thermal protection, and applied RimTight insulation around the rim joists to help seal outside air leaks. We also installed a SuperSump Sump Pump System to help provide reliable water management beneath the home. Together, these crawl space repair solutions helped create a cleaner, drier, and more stable environment beneath the home while improving long-term comfort and protection.

A homeowner in Sturgeon Bay, WI contacted Sure-Dry after noticing cracking and uneven settlement beginning to affect their concrete-covered porch near the front entrance of the home. The porch slab had started sinking in several areas, creating visible separation and concerns about both safety and curb appeal. During the inspection, our team identified soil settlement beneath the porch slab — a common issue for exterior concrete surfaces throughout Wisconsin due to changing moisture conditions and long-term soil movement.
To restore the porch, our crew installed PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam beneath the settled concrete to carefully raise and stabilize the slab. PolyLevel provides several advantages over traditional mudjacking methods, including smaller drill holes, lighter material weight, faster cure times, and more accurate lifting control. Once the porch was successfully leveled, the homeowner had a safer, more stable entryway with improved appearance and long-term support beneath the slab.

A homeowner in Sturgeon Bay, WI contacted Sure-Dry after noticing settlement beginning to affect the driveway, front walkway, and concrete step leading into their newer home. Even though the property was newer construction, shifting soils beneath the slabs had caused portions of the concrete to settle unevenly, creating visible separation and trip hazards near the main entry area. During the inspection, our team identified early-stage slab settlement commonly seen throughout Wisconsin where exterior concrete is impacted by soil movement and changing moisture conditions.
To restore the concrete surfaces, our crew used PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to carefully raise and stabilize the settled slabs and applied NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to seal joints and cracks. PolyLevel offers several advantages over traditional mudjacking methods, including smaller injection points, lighter material weight, faster cure times, and more precise lifting control. NexusPro helps reduce water infiltration beneath the slabs, which can contribute to future settlement issues. After the repairs were completed, the driveway, walkway, and entry step had a cleaner, safer, and more uniform appearance.

Sure-Dry System Design Specialist evaluated the Sturgeon Bay, WI crawl space after the homeowner reported damp conditions and uneven floors. A detailed inspection identified ground moisture intrusion, lack of proper drainage, and failing support beams as the primary contributors. These conditions are common in crawl spaces without encapsulation and structural reinforcement, especially in moisture-prone areas like Door County.

The installation team encapsulated the crawl space using the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System to control humidity and prevent further moisture intrusion. The SuperSump Sump Pump System was installed to manage water effectively, while the SmartJack Structural Support System was used to reinforce and stabilize the floor system above. This combined crawl space repair approach provided a comprehensive, long-term solution tailored to the home’s conditions.

Objective:
A homeowner in Sturgeon Bay, WI contacted Sure-Dry after noticing some clear signs of structural trouble inside the home: cracks forming and spreading in interior walls, and a front door that would no longer latch properly. These issues were getting worse over time, and they suspected the problem had to do with the support system beneath the house.

Challenge:
Upon inspection, we found that the floor joists in the crawl space lacked proper support, causing sections of the floor to sag. Over time, this led to uneven weight distribution, which in turn caused visible cracking in the drywall above and misalignment in door frames.

Solution:
To correct the issue and permanently stabilize the structure, our team installed a series of SmartJack® adjustable steel support posts in the crawl space. These heavy-duty posts are designed to reinforce and lift sagging floor joists, providing long-term support with the ability to make fine adjustments if needed.

Results:
After installation, the floors above were stabilized, the wall cracks stopped growing, and the front door began latching properly again. The homeowner was relieved to finally address the root cause—and regain peace of mind knowing their home is now structurally sound from the ground up.
