Before & After Photos

Before

This Wisconsin Rapids, WI crawl space had moisture concerns that required more than simply covering the exposed ground. Ground moisture, water intrusion, and high humidity can create damp, musty crawl space conditions and affect the environment throughout the home.

Wisconsin's heavy rains, spring snowmelt, humid summers, and changing groundwater conditions can make crawl space moisture control especially important. The homeowner needed a system that could address moisture from the ground, remove incoming water, and control humidity in the air.

After

Sure-Dry encapsulated the crawl space with CleanSpace®, creating a durable vapor barrier that isolates the home from ground moisture and creates a much cleaner crawl space environment.

A SmartSump® crawl space sump pump system was installed to collect and pump incoming groundwater safely away from the home.

To control moisture remaining in the air, Sure-Dry added a SaniDry™ dehumidification system. SaniDry helps maintain lower humidity levels and reduces the damp conditions that can contribute to musty odors and moisture problems.

With encapsulation, water removal, and humidity control working together, this crawl space is now cleaner, drier, and better protected throughout Wisconsin's changing seasons.

Before

This Wisconsin Rapids, WI home had an unfinished basement with a poured concrete foundation and a small existing basement window that provided limited natural light and no convenient emergency exit.

The homeowners wanted to improve the basement while it was still unfinished, making this an ideal time to install a larger egress window before future basement improvements or finishing work took place.

After

Sure-Dry installed a new basement egress window by creating a properly sized opening through the poured concrete foundation wall. The new window and exterior window well provide a significantly larger opening, bringing more natural light into the unfinished basement while creating a safer and more accessible emergency escape route.

Installing an egress window can be an important first step for homeowners considering future basement finishing, particularly when planning a bedroom or additional living space where applicable building-code requirements must be considered.

The finished installation gives this Wisconsin Rapids basement more natural light, improved accessibility, and greater flexibility for how the space may be used in the future.

Before

This Wisconsin Rapids, WI homeowner was dealing with water entering the basement and needed a dependable solution to keep the space dry. Water can enter along the basement wall-floor joint as groundwater builds pressure around the foundation, particularly during heavy rain and spring snowmelt.

Without an effective interior drainage and sump pump system, that water can spread across the basement floor and lead to damp conditions, musty odors, damaged belongings, and concerns about future basement flooding.

After

Sure-Dry installed WaterGuard® around the basement perimeter to intercept water entering along the foundation and wall-floor joint. The interior drainage system directs collected water toward a new SuperSump® sump pump system, where it can be pumped safely away from the home.

A battery backup sump pump was also installed to provide additional protection if the primary pump cannot operate during a power outage—an especially important safeguard when severe Wisconsin storms bring heavy rain and power interruptions at the same time.

Instead of simply cleaning up water after it enters the basement, this waterproofing system provides a dedicated path to collect, manage, and remove it.

With occasional water issues happening, we installed the SuperSump pump to this homeowners basement. This sump pump was the best fit for their needs. It can discharge 2,200 gallons of water per hour and best yet will keep their basement dry! 

WaterGuard and Bleeder Lines were installed at customer's home to prevent water from flooding their basement.
