Sure-Dry Before & After Photos

Before:
The homeowners in Wausau were dealing with musty odors, high humidity, and cold floors above their crawl space. During inspection, the space showed exposed soil, moisture intrusion, deteriorated insulation, and substantial air leakage at the rim joists. These issues were being amplified by Marathon County’s mixed soil conditions and seasonal temperature fluctuations, causing condensation and heat loss throughout the home.

After:
Sure-Dry encapsulated the entire crawl space using CleanSpace® to seal off ground moisture and create a controlled environment. RimTight™ air sealing was used along the perimeter to stop outside air infiltration and improve overall thermal performance.
The finished system now delivers a dry, energy-efficient crawl space with improved comfort and reduced humidity inside the home.

To remove the damages and moldy residue left from water soaking through, we encapsulated the basement walls in CleanSpace. This gives the walls a new, bright, clean look! 

Structurally, stone foundations are often extremely durable (2’ of stone!) but due to their construction, most suffer from seepage and moisture along the floor and in the wall mortar. We help many homeowners with these types of foundations to be able to use their basements again.

Here is an example of a basement with a stone foundation in Wausau, WI that we waterproofed using our WaterGuard®, CleanSpace®, and SuperSump® systems.  

The WaterGuard® system collects water that seeps through basement walls and drains it to your sump pump. The system installs quickly and has a clean finished appearance, meaning you don't have to worry about having an unsightly drain around the basement.

The CleanSpace Wall System can hold back water vapor passing through your foundation walls, directing it to your sump pump. With anti-microbial protection called UltraFresh built right in, no mold or mildew will grow on the CleanSpace!  If you have stone walls, an exposed ledge in your basement, or dirt floors, CleanSpace is the perfect solution! With its 25-year warranty from rips or tears, you can be sure it's strong enough to do the job!

Finally, the SuperSump Premier Pump System. It is engineered to help keep the basement dry and healthy for extended periods of time, even in times of heavy water intrusion. The SuperSump includes a powerful Zoeller® ⅓ horsepower cast-iron sump pump, capable of pumping 2,220 gallons of water per hour at an 8-foot head out of your basement. The SuperSump can also be installed with an optional UltraSump® Battery Backup Sump Pump, which can pump out 11,500 gallons or more on a single charge!

With this comprehensive waterproofing system in place thanks to Sure-Dry, these homeowners were able to finish their basement free of worry about water damage!

The customer noticed water on the basement floor where it connects with the column and asked us for a solution. Using the DryTrak Interior Basement Draining System we were able to redirect the water seepage to flow down into a drainage channel instead of at the base of the column. The customer was overjoyed that we had a process and product to help him!

The crawl space in this Wausau, WI home had issues with water, pests, and drafts which were affecting the living space above it. Sure-Dry installed a water control drainage system and encapsulated the floor and walls with our CleanSpace Vaper Barrier System and SilverGlo Wall Insulation Panels to effectively control the moisture and temperature. The homeowners were thrilled with the results and excited to enjoy a drier and warmer home this winter.
