Leading Foundation Repair Experts in Tripoli, WI | Basement Waterproofing

Objective:
In Tripoli, WI, an older homeowner was struggling with a flooded, damp crawl space that was impossible to maintain. Water would collect after every storm, humidity levels were high, and the crawl space conditions were making the home above uncomfortable year-round. The homeowner wanted a permanent, low-maintenance solution to eliminate water, control moisture, and improve the home’s comfort—without needing to crawl in and out of the space.

Challenge:
Years of water intrusion had created a soggy, mold-prone crawl space. The lack of insulation and vapor protection meant cold floors in the winter, musty air in the summer, and constant risk of moisture-related damage. The space needed to be completely transformed—from wet and exposed to sealed and conditioned.

Solution:
Sure-Dry installed a full crawl space waterproofing and encapsulation system built to last:

• A new sump pump to actively manage water removal

• Drainage matting underfoot to channel water toward the pump

• CleanSpace® crawl space vapor barrier to seal out ground moisture

• Silverglo™ insulation on the crawl space walls for energy efficiency

• RimTight™ joist insulation to seal off the upper edge and prevent air leaks

• A SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifier to keep humidity low and air clean

• New vent covers to fully enclose the crawl space from outside elements

Results:
The crawl space is now dry, sealed, and maintenance-free—and the home above feels noticeably more comfortable and efficient. The homeowner no longer has to worry about water, moisture, or crawl space upkeep.

Recognizing the urgency of their situation, the family reached out to us, Sure-Dry, seeking a reliable and lasting solution.
