Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Port Washington, WI had a small crawl space that remained damp throughout the year due to exposed soil, unsealed rim joists, and lake-effect moisture coming off Lake Michigan. The damp conditions created musty odors, deteriorating insulation, and uncomfortable floors above. Without proper drainage or vapor protection, the crawl space remained vulnerable during heavy rains and snowmelt.
After:
Sure-Dry encapsulated the crawl space using CleanSpace® vapor barrier to seal the floor and walls against moisture intrusion. The perimeter was air-sealed using RimTight™ to block outside air infiltration, improve energy efficiency, and protect wood components. To manage groundwater and provide reliable pumping capacity, a SuperSump® system was installed for dependable drainage performance.
The crawl space is now clean, dry, and energy-efficient, improving both comfort and long-term protection for the home.

Before:
A homeowner in Port Washington, WI was experiencing recurring basement water intrusion during heavy rains and snowmelt. Moisture was entering along the wall-floor joint, and the foundation walls showed dampness and staining from lake-effect humidity. The existing sump setup lacked the capacity and redundancy needed for peak groundwater conditions. Without proper drainage or wall protection, the basement remained susceptible to seepage and elevated humidity.
After:
Sure-Dry installed a TripleSafe™ sump pump system to provide reliable, three-level pumping protection, including an automatic battery backup. Along the leaking walls, CleanSpace® wall vapor barrier was installed to seal and direct moisture downward. A perimeter WaterGuard® drainage system was added to capture seepage and channel it directly into the new TripleSafe system.
The basement is now dry, protected, and equipped to handle Port Washington’s seasonal groundwater fluctuations.

Before:
A homeowner in Port Washington, WI was dealing with settlement in the concrete patio near their entrance and along the garage apron. Seasonal freeze–thaw cycles and lake-influenced moisture had caused several slabs to sink and shift, creating uneven surfaces, trip hazards, and poor drainage toward the home. Open joints and cracks were allowing water to wash out soils beneath the concrete, worsening the settlement over time.
After:
Sure-Dry lifted the sunken patio and garage apron slabs using PolyLevel® to restore proper height and eliminate trip hazards. After lifting, joints and cracks were sealed with NexusPro®, preventing water infiltration and protecting the slabs from future soil erosion.
The patio and garage apron are now level, stabilized, and fully sealed for long-term durability.
