Before
The crawl space beneath this Burnett, WI home showed excessive moisture exposure and structural concerns, including exposed soil and inadequate support beneath the floor system. Ground moisture was migrating upward into the crawl space, contributing to damp conditions and musty odors, while undersized and settling supports allowed the floors above to sag and feel unstable. These conditions indicated the need for both crawl space encapsulation and structural crawl space repair.

After
Sure-Dry encapsulated the crawl space using CleanSpace® Vapor Barrier to fully isolate the space from ground moisture and control humidity. To address floor movement and restore proper support, adjustable SmartJack® support posts were installed on engineered footings to permanently stabilize the floor system.
The crawl space is now dry, sealed, and structurally supported, improving indoor comfort while protecting the home from long-term moisture and settlement-related issues.

Before
The basement in this Burnett, WI home showed signs of structural stress, including sagging floors above and undersized, ineffective support beneath the main beams. Over time, settlement and inadequate load-bearing support had caused noticeable floor deflection, creating concerns about long-term structural integrity. These conditions are common indicators that basement structural repair and permanent floor support were needed.

After
Sure-Dry stabilized the basement by installing adjustable SmartJack® support posts beneath the affected beams, transferring the load to engineered footings designed for long-term performance. The system was precisely adjusted to restore proper support and prevent further movement of the floor system above.
The basement structure is now stabilized, helping protect the home from continued settlement while improving floor strength and reliability.

Before
The basement in this Burnett, WI home experienced recurring water intrusion along the foundation perimeter along with visible wall cracking caused by lateral soil pressure. Water was entering at the wall-to-floor joint during heavy rain and snowmelt, while horizontal cracking raised concerns about long-term foundation wall stability. These conditions indicated the need for both basement waterproofing and foundation wall repair to prevent further damage.

After
Sure-Dry stabilized the foundation walls using CarbonArmor®, a low-profile carbon fiber reinforcement system designed to permanently stop wall movement without invasive excavation. To control water intrusion, a DryTrak® interior drainage system was installed along the foundation perimeter, directing water to a new UltraSump® battery backup sump system for reliable pumping during power outages.
The basement is now dry, structurally stabilized, and protected against future water intrusion.
