Crawl Space Repair in Fox Lake, WI

Monday, April 6th, 2020 by Tom Wardlow

Challenge

Your home is a system, and every part of that system plays a role that affects the rest of the structure. If your crawl space begins to rot, grow mold, or experience structural problems, this will extend to every part of your home.

The crawl space of this cabin in Fox Lake, WI had all the typical signs of a failing crawl space: moisture, mold, and falling insulation. Interior drywall cracks, unenven floors, and a foul, musty smell were the symtpoms these cabin owners noticed that led them to realize they needed to fix their crawl space.

Solution

Sure-Dry Basement Systems was able to do a complete crawl space repair on this home, completely restoring this crawl space to a dry and clean space, and by doing so restoring health and energy efficiency throughout the home.

To protect the crawl space from moisture, CleanSpace® Crawl Space Vapor Barrier was installed. This durable, bright white crawl space liner installs on the walls and floors, preventing water vapor and humidity from passing through. By keeping your crawl space dry, you protect your structure and insulation from mold and rot.

To be able to capture any water getting in and to be able to discharge it away from the home, Sure-Dry installed their SmartSump™ Crawl Space Sump Pump System. The SmartSump™ comes equipped with a cast-iron Zoeller® primary pump with the option of adding an UltraSump® Battery Backup Sump Pump. This sump pump is designed to fit with the CleanSpace® liner and has a sump alarm to ensure you are always aware of any water in your crawl space.
