Crawl Space Moisture & Odor Issues Resolved with Vapor Barrier System in Minocqua, WI
Before
A homeowner in Minocqua, WI, was dealing with a damp, exposed crawl space where moisture from the ground could contribute to musty odors, elevated humidity, and poor conditions beneath the home. Crawl spaces throughout the Northwoods are especially vulnerable to seasonal moisture, changing groundwater conditions, and Wisconsin’s freeze-thaw cycles. The homeowner needed a crawl space repair solution that would isolate the home from the damp earth below.
After
Sure-Dry installed the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System to fully encapsulate the crawl space. The durable liner was installed across the floor and extended up the foundation walls, creating a continuous barrier between the home and moisture from the exposed ground.
By controlling ground moisture instead of allowing it to enter the crawl space, the encapsulation helps create a cleaner, drier environment beneath the home while reducing conditions that can contribute to musty odors and excess humidity.

Moisture & Insulation Crawl Space Issues Resolved Leading to a More Comfortable Home in Minocqua, WI
Before
A homeowner in Minocqua, WI, had an unsealed crawl space that allowed ground moisture and outside air to affect the area beneath the home. In the Northwoods, cold winters, humid summers, snowmelt, and changing soil moisture can make an untreated crawl space difficult to keep dry and energy efficient. The homeowner needed a comprehensive crawl space repair solution that addressed moisture, cold foundation walls, and air leakage around the rim joists.
After
Sure-Dry installed the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System to encapsulate the crawl space and isolate the home from moisture in the ground below. SilverGlo Crawl Space Insulation Panels were installed along the foundation walls to provide an additional thermal barrier, while RimTight was used around the rim joist area to help seal air leaks where outside air can enter the crawl space.
Together, the encapsulation, insulation, and air-sealing improvements created a cleaner, drier, and better-insulated crawl space while helping the homeowner improve comfort and energy efficiency throughout the home.

Crawl Space Water, Insulation & Humidity Repair in Minocqua, WI
Before
A homeowner in Minocqua, WI, had a damp, poorly insulated crawl space where exposed ground moisture, cold foundation walls, and outside air infiltration were affecting conditions beneath the home. These problems are common in the Northwoods, where snowmelt, humid summers, cold winters, and changing soil moisture can contribute to musty crawl space odors, elevated humidity, and uncomfortable floors. The homeowner needed a complete crawl space repair approach that addressed moisture, drainage, insulation, air leakage, and humidity control.
After
Sure-Dry installed the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System to encapsulate the crawl space and isolate the home from ground moisture. SilverGlo Crawl Space Insulation Panels were added along the foundation walls, while RimTight was applied at the rim joists to help reduce outside-air infiltration. A TripleSafe Sump Pump System was installed to provide dependable water removal, and a SaniDry Dehumidification System was added to control humidity and help reduce conditions that contribute to musty odors.
Together, these systems provide moisture control, drainage, insulation, air sealing, and dehumidification to create a cleaner, drier, and better-protected crawl space beneath the Minocqua home.

Egress Window Installed in Minocqua, WI
Before
A homeowner in Minocqua, WI, wanted to improve the safety and functionality of their basement by adding a properly sized emergency exit. The existing basement did not have an adequate means of emergency escape and rescue in the planned living area, limiting how the space could safely be used. With Wisconsin homeowners increasingly looking to make better use of their basements, installing an egress window can provide an important combination of emergency access, natural light, and ventilation.
After
Sure-Dry installed a new Egress Window System to provide a dedicated emergency escape and rescue opening from the basement. The installation required creating an opening through the foundation wall, properly setting and sealing the window, and installing the exterior window well to provide clear access from the basement to the outdoors.
The completed egress window gives the homeowner a safer and brighter basement while providing an important emergency exit and improving the overall functionality of the space.

Concrete Lifting and Crack Repair in Hazelhurst, WI
The concrete floor of this garage in Hazelhurst, WI was sunken, uneven and had dangerous, unsightly cracks. Sure-Dry Basement Systems was able to lift and level the garage floor with their PolyLevel® Injection Foam system. PolyLevel is an expanding polyurethane foam that is injected beneath the concrete to fill the gaps caused by soil erosion and raise and stabilize the concrete surface.
To repair the cracks, Sure-Dry applied their NexusPro system. NexusPro is a silicone-based sealant for joints and cracks specially formulated to provide long-lasting flexibility and to stand up to harsh weather conditions. Unlike traditional polyurethane sealants, NexusPro resists UV rays, which means it won't crack, bubble or dry out. That means a single application can seal the joints and cracks in your concrete driveway, patio, pool deck or sidewalk for years to come, protecting it from damage caused by soil compaction and washout.
