Before & After Photos

Before
The homeowner in Shawano, WI had ongoing basement water issues caused by groundwater intrusion along the perimeter walls during heavy rain and seasonal snowmelt. Moisture was entering at the wall-to-floor joint, leaving damp concrete surfaces and contributing to elevated humidity and visible wall moisture.
Inspection confirmed hydrostatic pressure at the footing and unprotected foundation walls, allowing water vapor and seepage to impact the basement environment.

After
Sure-Dry installed a complete basement waterproofing system, starting with the WaterGuard® interior drainage system to capture groundwater at the footing and direct it to a new UltraSump® battery backup sump pump for dependable water removal during power outages and heavy storms. To address wall moisture and vapor penetration, CleanSpace® wall vapor barrier was installed, creating a sealed, moisture-resistant surface along the foundation walls.
The basement is now dry, controlled, and protected from both liquid water and moisture vapor intrusion.

The homeowner in Shawano, WI experienced basement water concerns during heavy rain events, particularly when the existing sump system struggled to keep up with rising groundwater levels. Limited pumping capacity and a lack of backup protection increased the risk of water intrusion during storms and potential power outages.
Inspection identified the need for improved pumping reliability and a more effective discharge method to move water safely away from the foundation.

After
Sure-Dry upgraded the basement sump system by installing a primary SuperSump® pump paired with an UltraSump® battery backup system to provide continuous protection during power loss or peak water conditions. New buried discharge lines were installed to route water well away from the foundation, reducing the risk of recirculation and soil saturation near the home.
The sump system now delivers reliable, redundant pumping performance with proper exterior water management, keeping the basement protected in all conditions.

Before
The homeowner in Shawano, WI had a crawlspace with exposed earth, elevated humidity, and ongoing moisture concerns that were impacting air quality and structural conditions above. Moisture intrusion and unsealed rim joists allowed damp air to circulate throughout the crawlspace, increasing the risk of mold growth, wood deterioration, and cold floors during Wisconsin’s seasonal temperature swings.
Inspection confirmed high moisture levels, poor vapor control, and inadequate drainage protection within the crawlspace.

After
Sure-Dry completed a full crawl space encapsulation using CleanSpace® vapor barrier to fully seal the crawlspace floor and walls, preventing ground moisture from entering the space. A SmartSump® crawlspace sump pump system was installed to manage groundwater, while RimTight® insulation sealed the rim joists to reduce air leakage and improve energy efficiency. To control humidity long-term, a Sedona® dehumidifier was installed to maintain consistent, dry conditions year-round.
The crawlspace is now dry, sealed, and conditioned, improving indoor air quality, energy performance, and long-term protection for the home.

Before

The homeowner in Shawano, WI had a crawl space with exposed earth, elevated humidity, and cold surfaces that allowed moisture and unconditioned air to affect the home above. Damp conditions and uninsulated crawl space walls contributed to musty odors, energy loss, and concerns about long-term wood and air quality issues.
Inspection confirmed poor vapor control, inadequate insulation, and high humidity levels common in northeastern Wisconsin’s seasonal climate.

After
Sure-Dry completed a crawl space encapsulation and conditioning solution using CleanSpace® vapor barrier to fully seal the crawl space floor and walls, blocking ground moisture from entering the space. SilverGlo® insulation was installed to insulate the crawl space walls, improving thermal performance and helping maintain consistent temperatures. To control moisture long-term, a Sedona® dehumidifier was added to regulate humidity and keep the crawlspace dry year-round.
The crawl space is now sealed, insulated, and conditioned, improving comfort, energy efficiency, and overall indoor air quality.

Before
The crawl space beneath this Shawano, WI home was exposed to excess ground moisture, elevated humidity, and unsealed foundation vents that allowed damp outside air to enter year-round. These conditions created the perfect environment for musty odors, condensation, and the potential for mold growth while also reducing the home's energy efficiency. During the inspection, our System Design Specialist measured moisture levels, evaluated the condition of the crawl space, and identified areas where Wisconsin's seasonal temperature swings and freeze-thaw conditions were contributing to ongoing moisture problems. To permanently isolate the crawl space from the earth below, Sure-Dry recommended installing the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System along with a reliable SuperSump Sump Pump System.
After
Our installation team transformed the crawl space by covering the floor and foundation walls with the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System, creating a durable moisture barrier designed to help prevent water vapor from entering the space. To efficiently remove groundwater, the crew installed a SuperSump Sump Pump System, providing dependable water evacuation and helping keep the crawl space dry throughout the year. Together, these systems created a cleaner, healthier, and more energy-efficient crawl space while helping protect the home's structure from excessive moisture. The homeowners now have greater peace of mind knowing their crawl space repair was completed with a long-term solution built for Wisconsin conditions.
