Crawl Space Vapor Barrier Installation & Floor Joist Repair in Florence, WI

Before
In Florence, WI, this home’s crawl space was plagued by moisture, humidity, and sagging floor joists — classic signs of unprotected below-grade space in a climate with heavy snowmelt and seasonal storms. The dirt crawl space allowed ground moisture to evaporate into the air, which raised humidity, led to wood rot, and made the floors feel “soft” and uneven. The homeowner was concerned about long-term structural issues and indoor air quality, and knew they needed a professional crawl space encapsulation solution rather than quick fixes.

After
Sure-Dry completed a comprehensive crawl space encapsulation using the SmartJack Structural Support System, CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System, SilverGlo Crawl Space Insulation Panels, and a buried discharge solution with IceGuard Protection to handle condensate and sump discharge below frost depth. The CleanSpace vapor barrier seals soil moisture at the source while SilverGlo insulation stabilizes temperature and improves energy efficiency. SmartJacks were installed to reinforce floor support and level joists, enhancing structural integrity. The buried discharge line with IceGuard ensures water is safely moved away from the home without freezing issues in winter. The crawl space is now clean, dry, and fully protected against moisture, humidity, and structural concerns — giving the homeowner peace of mind and a healthier, more durable home environment.

Wet Basement Repaired & Stabilized in Fence, WI

Before The homeowner was experiencing persistent water intrusion along the basement perimeter, especially during heavy rain and spring snowmelt. Moisture was entering at the floor-to-wall joint and through porous foundation walls, leaving damp concrete, musty odors, and elevated humidity levels. Over time, excess moisture had also contributed to weakened support posts and slight floor sag above the basement. Concerned about wet basement repair, indoor air quality, and structural stability, the homeowner began searching for a permanent basement waterproofing and foundation repair solution.
After Sure-Dry installed the DryTrak Interior Drainage System along the basement perimeter to capture wall and floor seepage before it reached the living space without requiring excavation of the slab. A SuperSump Sump Pump System was added to efficiently discharge collected water away from the foundation. We applied the CleanSpace Wall Vapor Barrier System to direct wall moisture into the drainage channel and prevent vapor intrusion. To address structural concerns, the SmartJack Structural Support System was installed to stabilize and lift sagging floor areas. The system was completed with a Sedona SaniDry Dehumidification System to control humidity year-round.
The basement is now dry, structurally supported, and protected against future moisture and settlement issues.

Total Basement Water Control in Two Rivers, WI

After a heavy rain, these homeowners in Two Rivers, WI went down into their basement and saw what all homeowners pray they don't see after a heavy rain...water.  With water seeping in between the footing and the block foundation wall, they soon realized they needed something in place to catch the water coming and a system to drain it out and away from their home. 

Sure-Dry Basement Systems restored their piece of mind by installing a comprehensive system that provided them with complete water protection.  First, a sump pump was installed that allowed any water coming into the home to drain and discharge away from the house.  Sure-Dry then installed their WaterGuard water drainage system to catch the water coming in from between the footing and the wall, and direct that water to the sump pump where it would drain and discharge away from the home. 

To create a vapor barrier between the basement walls and the house and to catch any water coming in from the walls and direct to the WaterGuard System, Sure-Dry installed their patented BrightWall basement wall panels.  

BrightWall® is 100% waterproof and washable, and it creates a vapor barrier on your basement walls to block out water vapor and humidity. This ensures that you won't have to worry about mold growth or rot. Like our other wall products, it can direct water seepage into your perimeter drain.
