Before
The crawl space beneath this Crivitz, WI home had exposed soil that allowed ground moisture to continuously rise into the space, creating damp conditions and musty odors throughout the home. Seasonal rain and freeze-thaw cycles common in northern Wisconsin contributed to elevated humidity levels and potential wood deterioration. The homeowner began searching for crawl space repair near me after noticing poor air quality and concerns about long-term structural damage.
These symptoms indicated the need for professional crawl space repair Wisconsin service and a complete crawl space encapsulation solution to properly control moisture.
After
Sure-Dry encapsulated the crawl space using CleanSpace®, a durable vapor barrier system designed to fully isolate the crawl space from ground moisture. The liner was securely fastened and sealed along seams and piers to create a continuous barrier across the floor and foundation walls, preventing humidity infiltration and improving overall air quality.
The crawl space is now dry, clean, and properly protected, providing long-term moisture control and a reliable crawl space repair contractor solution tailored to Wisconsin’s climate conditions.
In this basement in New Franken, WI water had managed to seep it's way through the concrete pours and soak around the perimeter of the basement.
We installed the WaterGuard System, which will collect water that seeps in and will drain it to the sump pump. With its tiny openings at the top of the guard, water will no longer be able to sit on this basement floor ever again.
Before:
The basement took on water along multiple wall–floor joints after rain and during thaws. Puddles, musty odors, and efflorescence were common, and humidity made storage difficult year-round.
After:
We installed the WaterGuard® interior drainage system along the leaking perimeter to intercept seepage at its source and carry it to a new SuperSump® with an airtight lid, high-reliability pump, and clean finish. The foundation walls were lined with CleanSpace® vapor barrier so any wall moisture is directed into WaterGuard instead of onto the floor. To control airborne moisture, a SaniDry™ dehumidifier was added and set to maintain healthy RH, draining automatically.
The basement is now dry, brighter, and ready for reliable use—even during heavy rains.
Before:
The crawl space had exposed soil, musty odors, and seasonal puddling. Leaky rim joists let in cold, humid air, leaving floors above chilly and adding moisture to the space. Without a dedicated drainage or humidity system, the area felt damp year-round.
After:
We encapsulated the crawl space with CleanSpace®—sealed across the floor and up the walls with tight, taped seams and mechanical fastening. Around the perimeter, joints and penetrations were sealed, and vents were closed to block outside air. We air-sealed and insulated the rim with RimTight™ to stop drafts and reduce condensation. For water management, we installed a SuperSump® with an airtight lid and check valve. Finally, a Sedona dehumidifier was added to maintain healthy relative humidity and drain automatically.
The result is a dry, clean, and tighter crawl space that improves comfort and air quality in the home above.
A SuperSump Premier Sump Pump System and WaterGuard Drainage System were installed to collect and effectively and quickly remove water from a fieldstone basement.
