Before & After Photos

Before
The crawl space in Marinette, WI had a dirt floor and failing insulation that was falling down from the walls and rim joists, leaving the space exposed to moisture, cold air, and energy loss. Ground moisture was able to evaporate directly into the crawl space, contributing to damp conditions, musty odors, and inconsistent temperatures throughout the home. These issues are common in Wisconsin crawl spaces where exposed soil and poorly installed insulation lead to ongoing moisture and comfort problems.

After
The crawl space was fully encapsulated with CleanSpace® to seal off the dirt floor and foundation surfaces, preventing ground moisture from entering the space. Crawl space walls were insulated with SilverGlo® rigid foam panels, replacing the failing insulation and providing consistent thermal performance and moisture resistance.
The crawl space is now sealed, dry, and properly insulated, improving indoor comfort, air quality, and long-term energy efficiency.

Before
The homeowner in Marinette, WI had a crawlspace with exposed soil, elevated moisture levels, and unsealed rim joists that allowed damp air and cold temperatures to affect the home above. Persistent humidity contributed to musty odors, energy loss, and concern about long-term wood and insulation performance.
Inspection confirmed poor vapor control, insufficient insulation, and air leakage at the rim joist area—common issues in northeastern Wisconsin due to seasonal moisture and temperature swings.

After
Sure-Dry completed a crawlspace encapsulation using CleanSpace® vapor barrier to fully seal the crawlspace floor and walls, blocking ground moisture and outside air infiltration. SilverGlo® insulation was installed along the crawlspace walls to improve thermal performance, while RimTight® joist insulation sealed the rim joists to reduce air leakage and heat loss.
The crawlspace is now dry, sealed, and insulated, improving comfort, energy efficiency, and overall indoor air quality throughout the home.

Before
The homeowner in Marinette, WI had a crawlspace with a concrete floor and exposed brick foundation walls that were experiencing active water intrusion during heavy rain and seasonal snowmelt. Water was entering along the wall-to-floor joint and through the masonry, leading to standing water, elevated humidity, and concern about long-term moisture damage.
Inspection confirmed hydrostatic pressure at the footing, moisture migration through the brick walls, and inadequate pumping capacity to manage groundwater effectively.

After
Sure-Dry installed a complete crawlspace waterproofing and moisture control system, including the WaterGuard® interior drainage system to capture groundwater at the footing and direct it to a new SuperSump® primary sump pump paired with an UltraSump® battery backup for protection during power outages. To control humidity and moisture long-term, a Sedona® dehumidifier was installed to maintain dry, consistent conditions throughout the crawlspace.
The crawlspace is now dry, controlled, and protected from both water intrusion and excess humidity.

Before

The homeowner in Marinette, WI was experiencing water intrusion in their shorter basement, putting stored belongings at risk every time heavy rain or snowmelt increased groundwater around the home. Although the basement wasn't used as living space, it served as valuable storage, and the homeowner wanted to protect those items before moisture caused permanent damage. During our inspection, we found water entering along the wall-floor joint (cove joint), a common symptom of hydrostatic pressure in Wisconsin basements where changing groundwater levels and freeze-thaw cycles continually push moisture toward the foundation.

After

To permanently protect the basement, our crew installed the WaterGuard Drainage System to capture groundwater before it reached the floor and direct it into a new TripleSafe Sump Pump System for dependable water removal—even during heavy storms or power outages. To further improve the basement environment, we installed an Aspen Air Purifier to help reduce airborne particles and improve the overall air quality. The homeowner now has peace of mind knowing their stored belongings are protected by a complete waterproofing solution designed to keep the basement dry and healthier year-round.

Before

The homeowner in Marinette, WI had started remodeling their basement with plans to create additional living space, but those plans quickly changed when water intrusion damaged much of the finished area. After removing drywall, flooring, and other water-damaged materials, they wanted to address the underlying issues before rebuilding. During our inspection, we found groundwater entering along the wall-floor joint (cove joint) and identified weakened floor support that required additional structural reinforcement. These conditions are common in Wisconsin basements, where hydrostatic pressure and seasonal freeze-thaw cycles can lead to both water intrusion and settling beneath the home. Rather than rebuilding over existing problems, the homeowner chose to invest in permanent waterproofing and structural support first.

After

Our production team installed the WaterGuard Drainage System around the interior perimeter to capture groundwater before it reached the basement floor and direct it into a new SuperSump Premier Sump Pump System for reliable water removal. To restore proper support beneath the home, we also installed the SmartJack Structural Support System, permanently stabilizing the floor system above. With the waterproofing and structural repairs complete, the homeowners can confidently move forward with remodeling their basement, knowing the foundation has been properly protected from future water intrusion and floor settlement.
