Sure-Dry Before & After Photos

Before
The crawl space beneath this Rib Lake, WI home showed clear signs of moisture intrusion and energy loss, including exposed earth, unsealed rim joists, and poorly insulated foundation walls. Seasonal moisture and cold air infiltration were contributing to elevated humidity levels, musty odors, and inconsistent floor temperatures above the crawl space—common indicators that crawl space repair and crawl space encapsulation were needed in this part of north-central Wisconsin.

After
Sure-Dry installed a full crawl space encapsulation system using CleanSpace® Vapor Barrier to fully isolate the crawl space from ground moisture, along with SilverGlo™ insulation panels to improve thermal performance along the foundation walls. The rim joists were sealed and insulated using RimTight™ to eliminate air leakage points and reduce heat loss.
The crawl space is now dry, sealed, and energy efficient, helping protect the home’s structure while improving indoor comfort and air quality.

Before
The crawl space beneath this Rib Lake, WI home showed ongoing moisture exposure, inadequate insulation, and sagging floor structure caused by undersized and settling support posts. Exposed soil allowed ground moisture to migrate upward, while unsealed rim joists and poorly insulated crawl space walls contributed to cold floors and elevated humidity levels. These conditions are common indicators that crawl space repair and crawl space encapsulation were needed to protect the home’s structure and improve energy efficiency.

After
Sure-Dry completed a full crawl space encapsulation and stabilization solution by installing CleanSpace® Vapor Barrier to isolate the crawl space from ground moisture, SilverGlo™ insulation panels along the foundation walls for improved thermal performance, and RimTight™ insulation at the rim joists to eliminate air leakage. To address floor sagging, adjustable SmartJack® support posts were installed to stabilize and permanently support the floor system above.
The crawl space is now dry, sealed, structurally supported, and energy efficient, resulting in improved comfort and long-term protection for the home.

Before
This crawl space had a sand and dirt floor that allowed constant ground moisture to migrate into the space, contributing to damp conditions, musty odors, and elevated humidity levels. The exposed earth combined with unsealed rim joists created pathways for moisture and cold air intrusion, while the lack of a reliable drainage and pumping system left the crawl space vulnerable to water accumulation during heavy rain and snowmelt—clear indicators that crawl space repair and crawl space encapsulation were needed.

After
Sure-Dry encapsulated the crawl space by installing CleanSpace® Vapor Barrier over the sand and dirt floor to block ground moisture, sealed and insulated the rim joists with RimTight™ to stop air leakage, and added a SmartSump® system to actively manage groundwater and protect against flooding.
The crawl space is now dry, sealed, and properly protected, helping improve indoor air quality, energy efficiency, and long-term structural durability.

Before: A homeowner in Rib Lake, WI had started noticing the concrete garage apron and walkway leading to the front door were settling and pulling away over the years. The apron had dropped enough that pulling vehicles into the garage was becoming rougher, and the walkway to the entrance had become uneven and awkward to walk across. Water was also starting to sit in some of the low spots after rain, which only continued making the settling worse through the long freeze-thaw seasons common in Northern Wisconsin.
Like a lot of homes around Taylor County, shifting soils and moisture underneath the slabs had slowly caused sections of the concrete to sink out of level. The homeowner wanted to clean up the appearance of the concrete and fix the tripping hazards without having to tear out and replace large sections of the driveway and walkway.

After: Sure-Dry lifted and stabilized the settled garage apron and front walkway using PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam. The foam was injected beneath the slabs to fill the empty spaces underneath and carefully raise the concrete back closer to level. Compared to traditional mudjacking or slab jacking methods, PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam is lightweight, cures quickly, and helps avoid adding extra stress to already shifting soils.
Once the lifting work was complete, the crew sealed the joints and cracks using NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to help keep water from getting back underneath the concrete. By the end of the project, the garage apron had a much smoother transition into the garage, and the walkway to the front entrance looked cleaner, more level, and safer to use.
