Before & After Photos

Moisture, mold and falling, failing insulation are problems in this crawl space in Stephenson, MI.  On top of that, the floor joists were beginning to show signs of damage as well due to failing crawl space supports.

To fix the moisture issue of this crawl space, Sure-Dry Basement Systems installed their CleanSpace® Crawl Space Vapor Barrier System. 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 fix this crawl space's structural issues, Sure-Dry installed their SmartJack® Crawl Space Stabilizer system, which is an adjustable supplemental support system used for sagging crawl spaces.

It not only provides supplemental support to your failing structure -- it can also often lift failing floor joists or beams, restoring them to their original position.

Before
This crawl space had previously been encapsulated by another company, but the original system had failed due to poor material durability and improper sealing. Sections of the liner had pulled away, seams were separating, and ground moisture was again migrating into the space. Elevated humidity, musty odors, and energy loss through uninsulated walls and rim joists were clear signs that crawl space repair and crawl space encapsulation needed to be redone properly by a qualified crawl space repair contractor.

After
Sure-Dry removed compromised materials and re-encapsulated the crawl space using CleanSpace® Vapor Barrier to create a continuous, properly sealed vapor barrier across the floor and foundation walls. The foundation walls were insulated with SilverGlo™ panels to improve thermal performance, and the rim joists were sealed and insulated using RimTight™ to eliminate air leakage and condensation points.
The crawl space is now dry, properly sealed, and energy efficient, providing long-term moisture control and structural protection with a professionally installed crawl space repair Wisconsin solution.

Before
The crawl space beneath this Cedar River, MI home had exposed soil, elevated humidity levels, and signs of moisture intrusion along the foundation walls. Seasonal groundwater and freeze-thaw cycles common in Upper Michigan allowed damp conditions to persist, contributing to musty odors and cold floors above. The homeowner began searching for crawl space repair near me after noticing ongoing moisture issues and inconsistent indoor comfort.
These symptoms indicated the need for professional crawl space repair and a full crawl space encapsulation system to properly control ground moisture and protect the structure.

After
Sure-Dry completed a comprehensive crawl space encapsulation by installing CleanSpace® Vapor Barrier to seal the exposed earth and isolate the space from ground moisture. A SmartSump® system was added to actively manage groundwater, while SilverGlo™ insulation panels were installed along the foundation walls. The rim joists were sealed and insulated using RimTight™ to eliminate air leakage and reduce condensation risk.
The crawl space is now dry, sealed, and properly insulated, delivering improved air quality, energy efficiency, and long-term protection with a trusted crawl space repair contractor solution.

Before
The basement in this Stephenson, MI home was experiencing recurring water intrusion along the perimeter and elevated humidity levels that contributed to damp walls and musty odors. During heavy rain and spring snowmelt, groundwater entered at the wall-to-floor joint, while the existing sump system lacked the capacity and backup protection needed for reliable basement waterproofing Michigan conditions demand. The homeowner began searching for basement waterproofing near me after repeated water cleanup and concerns about air quality.
These symptoms indicated the need for a comprehensive interior drainage system basement solution from a qualified basement waterproofing contractor.

After
Sure-Dry installed a full interior drainage system using DryTrak® to capture water intrusion along the foundation perimeter and direct it to a new TripleSafe™ sump pump system for reliable, multi-level pumping protection. The foundation walls were sealed with CleanSpace® to isolate moisture vapor, and a SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifier was installed to control humidity and improve basement air quality.
