Sure-Dry Before & After Photos

Before: Sagging Floors and Bowing Basement Walls

A homeowner in Montello, WI reached out to Sure-Dry after noticing two troubling issues: the floors above their crawl space were bouncy and uneven, and their basement walls were beginning to bow inward with visible cracking. Seasonal soil movement and years of structural stress had taken a toll, putting the home's stability—and value—at risk.

The home needed more than a cosmetic fix. It required structural reinforcement from the ground up.

After: Permanent Stabilization with SmartJack® and PowerBrace™ Systems

Sure-Dry designed and installed a dual-system solution to address both crawl space and wall support:

• SmartJack Support Posts were installed beneath the floor joists to lift and stabilize the sagging areas above the crawl space.

• PowerBrace Wall Reinforcement Beams were anchored along the basement walls to immediately stop inward movement and allow for gradual straightening over time.

The installation was fast, precise, and minimally invasive. The floors were firm and level once again, and the basement walls were stabilized for the long term.

Before: Damp, Dirty, and Inefficient

In Montello, WI, a homeowner contacted Sure-Dry after discovering that their crawl space was damp, musty, and visibly moldy. Cold floors in the winter and high humidity levels throughout the year were also making the home uncomfortable and energy-inefficient.

The crawl space had exposed soil, falling insulation, and air leaks around the rim joists—creating the perfect environment for moisture buildup, wood rot, and poor indoor air quality.

After: A Clean, Dry, and Energy-Efficient Crawl Space

Sure-Dry designed and installed a complete crawl space encapsulation and dehumidification system that included:

• CleanSpace® Vapor Barrier: A durable, bright white liner installed along the floor and walls to seal out ground moisture and create a clean, usable space.

• RimTight™ Spray Foam Insulation: Applied to rim joists and sill plates to stop air leakage and heat loss.

• SaniDry™ Sedona Dehumidifier: Installed to maintain optimal humidity levels year-round and prevent mold growth.

The transformation was immediate. The space is now dry, mold-resistant, energy-efficient, and significantly healthier for the entire home above.

Before:
This Montello homeowner was frustrated with uneven concrete slabs and noticeable cracks around their property. The sunken concrete not only created trip hazards but also affected the overall curb appeal of the home. Cracks in the surface made the problem even more visible and left the homeowner concerned about further deterioration over time.

After:
Our crew restored the concrete using PolyLevel®, a high-density polyurethane foam that was injected beneath the slabs to lift and stabilize them back to their proper position. Once the slabs were leveled, we applied NexusPro® joint sealant to fill and protect the cracks, ensuring long-term durability.

Now, the homeowner has safe, even walkways and a clean, polished look that will last for years to come. What was once an eyesore and safety issue is now a smooth, finished surface.
