Tomahawk, WI Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repair Expert

A System Design Specialist inspected the Tomahawk basement and confirmed that the north wall was bowing due to lateral soil expansion, while interior support beams were settling because of weakened subgrade conditions. Laser-level readings and joist-load measurements showed measurable deflection along the floor system. Moisture mapping along the footing also indicated water infiltration during rain events, driven by Lincoln County’s variable soils and seasonal freeze–thaw patterns. A combination of structural reinforcement and water management was necessary to fully protect the home.

Sure-Dry installed the PowerBrace™ system to stabilize the compromised wall using steel beams anchored at the floor and ceiling. SmartJack® stabilizers were then placed beneath key beam lines, torque-adjusted to restore load-bearing support and correct sagging. To manage moisture and protect the repaired foundation, a complete interior water treatment system was added to direct groundwater away from the perimeter and reduce long-term hydrostatic pressure. This integrated approach provides durable structural stabilization and reliable moisture control—well suited for homes throughout Northern Wisconsin.

During the inspection, the Sure-Dry System Design Specialist documented the pattern of seepage at the cove joint, evaluated the condition and depth of the existing sump pit, and reviewed the discharge route outside. Moisture staining 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 permanent basement waterproofing Tomahawk WI solution, the specialist designed a continuous WaterGuard® interior drainage layout along the problem walls and specified a centrally located SuperSump® basin and pump to collect captured groundwater and discharge it safely away from the foundation.

On installation day, the Sure-Dry crew saw-cut and removed a narrow strip of concrete along the designated wall runs, installed the WaterGuard interior drainage system on a drainage stone bed pitched toward the new SuperSump liner, and tied the system into a properly routed discharge line to daylight. After testing pump operation and verifying flow through the interior drainage, the team re-poured concrete over the trench to restore a smooth, finished floor surface. The result is a coordinated wet basement repair and musty basement odor solution Wisconsin homeowners can depend on, giving this Tomahawk homeowner a dry, usable basement and long-term protection backed by proven SuperSump and WaterGuard technology.

A Tomahawk homeowner reached out to Sure-Dry after years of uneven flooring and structural concerns above their crawl space. During a thorough inspection, a System Design Specialist identified that the existing wood posts had shifted due to soft soil conditions and moisture exposure. To restore proper support and lift the sagging floors, the specialist recommended the SmartJack® floor support system, engineered for crawl spaces requiring permanent, adjustable stabilization.

Sure-Dry’s installation crew excavated stable footing locations and installed SmartJack supports on engineered base plates, carefully tightening each unit to achieve precise lift. This solution immediately stabilized the home’s structure, removing bounce from the floors and preventing further settlement. The homeowner noticed a marked improvement in floor alignment and gained lasting confidence in the strength and safety of their foundation.

A Tomahawk homeowner contacted Sure-Dry after years of struggling with damp air and unpleasant odors rising from their crawl space. Upon inspection, a System Design Specialist found high humidity levels, mold staining on joists, and exposed soil contributing to continual moisture problems. To permanently correct these issues, the specialist recommended the CleanSpace® vapor barrier system paired with a SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifier for active moisture and air control.

Sure-Dry’s installation team prepared and leveled the crawl space, installed the durable CleanSpace liner to fully seal off the ground and walls, and placed the SaniDry Sedona for continuous humidity management. The result was a bright, energy-efficient, and dry environment beneath the home. After installation, the homeowner noticed fresher air, reduced humidity, and a noticeable improvement in indoor comfort — with long-term protection now in place below their living space.

Recently, a homeowner in Tomahawk, WI, reached out to us at Sure-Dry with a pressing issue: a flooded crawl space. Upon receiving their call, our Customer Care Specialist promptly scheduled a home inspection. Our System Design Specialist then conducted a thorough assessment to identify the source of the problem. The key challenge was excess moisture, leading to pervasive mold growth and threatening the structural integrity of the home.

Understanding the severity of the situation, we proposed our CleanSpace® crawl space encapsulation system as the optimal solution. Our CleanSpace products are renowned for transforming problematic, water-laden crawl spaces into stable, moisture-free foundations. We install a specialized CleanSpace liner made of robust 20-mil, 7-ply material, specifically designed to shield against future leakage and resist mold and mildew formation. This high-quality liner offers significantly greater durability compared to the typical 6-mil liners, providing a long-lasting defense.

Our expert production team, led by our experienced foreman, arrived at the site ready to execute the solution seamlessly. Following the encapsulation, they meticulously cleaned the area, ensuring that cleanliness matched the precision of the work completed. By encapsulating the crawl space, we successfully reduced the humidity and sealed out moisture, effectively eliminating the sources of musty odors and potential allergens.

The result was a noticeably drier, cleaner environment beneath the home, leaving the homeowner with enhanced peace of mind and protection.
