Before & After Photos

Before:
A homeowner in Ripon, WI was dealing with water seeping along the basement perimeter during heavy rains. The finished floor showed damp spots near the baseboards, and small cracks along the cove joint allowed moisture to creep in from hydrostatic pressure beneath the slab. The existing sump system was undersized and frequently overwhelmed, leaving the basement musty and unusable after storms.

After:
To create a permanent solution, our team installed a DryTrak® baseboard drainage system around the basement’s interior perimeter to collect seepage and channel it directly to a new SuperSump® Premier Sump System. The sealed SuperSump liner and high-performance pump provide reliable removal of groundwater while keeping moisture and odors sealed below the lid.

Now, the Ripon basement stays dry and protected—even after the heaviest rainfall—restoring full use of the space with a clean, low-profile waterproofing system.

Before:
A homeowner in Ripon, WI wanted to improve comfort and energy efficiency throughout their home after noticing cold floors and musty air rising from the crawl space. The original fiberglass insulation was sagging, damp, and falling from the joists—trapping moisture rather than blocking it. The unconditioned space was allowing heat loss in winter and humidity buildup year-round.

After:
To solve the problem and create lasting efficiency, our team replaced the failing insulation with SilverGlo® rigid foam insulation panels. The panels were fastened directly to the crawl space walls to create a continuous thermal and radiant barrier, reflecting heat back into the home and sealing off exterior temperature influence.

Now, the Ripon home’s crawl space is clean, insulated, and energy-efficient—keeping floors warmer, humidity lower, and utility costs under control.

Before

A homeowner in Ripon, WI wanted to address the musty odors coming from the small, unsealed crawl space beneath a home addition. Without a proper vapor barrier or insulation, ground moisture was entering the crawl space, creating elevated humidity levels that contributed to damp air and unpleasant odors inside the home. Wisconsin's changing seasons and freeze-thaw conditions can make these problems even worse, allowing moisture to accumulate and reducing the home's energy efficiency. To create a cleaner, healthier, and more energy-efficient space, the homeowner chose Sure-Dry's CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System along with SilverGlo Crawl Space Insulation Panels.

After

Our crew prepared the crawl space by sealing off exposed earth and installing the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System across the crawl space floor and walls to create a continuous moisture barrier. Next, SilverGlo Crawl Space Insulation Panels were installed along the foundation walls to improve thermal performance while helping reduce condensation caused by temperature differences. The combination of moisture control and insulation transformed the once damp crawl space into a cleaner, drier environment that helps reduce musty odors, improve indoor air quality, and increase the home's overall energy efficiency.

Before

A homeowner in Ripon, WI was experiencing water seepage in their partially finished basement, threatening both the finished living space and the unfinished storage areas. Water was entering where the basement floor and wall met, a common symptom caused by hydrostatic pressure pushing groundwater through the cove joint. Wisconsin's heavy rains and freeze-thaw cycles can increase this pressure, allowing moisture to find its way inside and putting flooring, drywall, and personal belongings at risk. Looking for a permanent basement waterproofing solution, the homeowner chose Sure-Dry to install a WaterGuard Interior Drainage System and a SuperSump Pump System.

After

Our waterproofing crew carefully installed the WaterGuard Interior Drainage System around the affected perimeter of the basement. Unlike traditional drain tile, WaterGuard is positioned above the footing to help minimize the risk of clogging from soil and sediment while capturing water before it reaches the finished living space. The collected water is directed into the newly installed SuperSump Pump System, which efficiently pumps groundwater safely away from the home's foundation. Once complete, the homeowner had a dependable waterproofing system protecting both the finished and unfinished portions of the basement, providing greater confidence during Wisconsin's wet seasons.
