Crawl Space Encapsulated, Insulated and Sealed in Crandon, WI
Before:
The homeowners in Crandon were dealing with standing water in their crawl space, musty odors throughout the home, and cold floors during the winter months. Inspection showed groundwater seepage, exposed soil, failing insulation, and significant air leakage at the rim joists. The combination of sandy soils, high moisture, and seasonal temperature swings — common in Forest County — was contributing to both humidity and heat loss.
After:
Sure-Dry installed a SuperSump® system to control groundwater and added CleanSpace® encapsulation to seal the crawl space from moisture. RimTight™ was used to reduce perimeter air leakage, while SilverGlo® insulation improved thermal performance throughout the floor system. A Sedona SaniDry® unit now maintains dry, conditioned air within the space.
The completed system keeps the crawl space dry, energy-efficient, and protected from Crandon’s challenging seasonal moisture conditions.

Driveway cracks and concrete settling in front of the garage in Appleton, WI

Iron Bacteria (Iron Ochre) in Basement in Appleton WI
The customer was dealing with an iron bacteria plugging up their waterproofing system (known as Iron Ochre, an orange gel-like substance that stains surfaces, omits a foul odor and if not treated, will harden and become very hard to remove). By installing the WaterGuard® IOS System® the Iron Ochre will be flushed out regularly so as to avoid any build-up of bacteria and plugging up of the system again. The customer can now rest assured that their waterproofing system will work the way it's designed to.
