Crawl Space Repair & Water Control in Suamico, WI

Before

After

Before

The homeowner in Suamico, WI was dealing with a damp crawl space where moisture had begun creating musty odors and concerns about the long-term condition of the home. During our inspection, we found groundwater collecting beneath the crawl space along with exposed earth that allowed moisture to continually enter the space. These conditions are common in northeastern Wisconsin due to fluctuating groundwater levels and seasonal freeze-thaw cycles. To permanently address the problem, we recommended encapsulating the crawl space and installing a dedicated drainage solution.

After

Our production team transformed the crawl space by installing the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System to isolate the crawl space from ground moisture while creating a clean, durable barrier across the crawl space floor and walls. We also installed a SmartSump Crawl Space Sump Pump System to automatically collect and discharge groundwater before it could accumulate beneath the home. Together, these systems provide long-term moisture control, helping improve indoor air quality, reduce humidity, and protect the home's structure.

Wet Basement Waterproofing in Suamico, WI

Before

After

Before

The homeowner in Suamico, WI had grown tired of dealing with a wet basement whenever heavy rain or seasonal snowmelt increased groundwater around the foundation. Water seepage along the wall-floor joint left damp areas on the basement floor, limited the use of the space, and raised concerns about moisture damage and mold growth. During our inspection, we confirmed hydrostatic pressure was forcing groundwater into the basement—a common issue in northeastern Wisconsin where changing groundwater levels and freeze-thaw cycles place continual pressure on foundation walls. To permanently solve the problem, we recommended a complete interior drainage system paired with a dependable sump pump.

After

Our crew installed the WaterGuard Drainage System around the interior perimeter of the basement to intercept groundwater before it reached the floor surface. The collected water is directed into a new SuperSump Premier Sump Pump System, providing reliable water removal and long-term protection against future basement flooding. Working together, these systems create a controlled drainage path that helps keep the basement dry and usable throughout Wisconsin's wettest seasons.
