Before & After Photos

In Port Washington, WI, a homeowner faced distress over water ruining stored family items. Notice in the problem photo, a damp, vulnerable crawl space exemplifies liabilities. We applied trusted WaterGuard and UltraSump, transforming the site into a resilient, dry environment. The WaterGuard's perimeter drainage system channels seepage away effectively. Paired with the reliable UltraSump system, ensure uninterrupted safeguard even during power outages. These innovations highlight our commitment to redefine experiences, providing lasting protection and relief.

A homeowner in Port Washington, WI had a small crawl space that remained damp throughout the year due to exposed soil, unsealed rim joists, and lake-effect moisture coming off Lake Michigan. The damp conditions created musty odors, deteriorating insulation, and uncomfortable floors above. Without proper drainage or vapor protection, the crawl space remained vulnerable during heavy rains and snowmelt.
After:
Sure-Dry encapsulated the crawl space using CleanSpace® vapor barrier to seal the floor and walls against moisture intrusion. The perimeter was air-sealed using RimTight™ to block outside air infiltration, improve energy efficiency, and protect wood components. To manage groundwater and provide reliable pumping capacity, a SuperSump® system was installed for dependable drainage performance.
The crawl space is now clean, dry, and energy-efficient, improving both comfort and long-term protection for the home.

Before:
A homeowner in Port Washington, WI was experiencing recurring basement water intrusion during heavy rains and snowmelt. Moisture was entering along the wall-floor joint, and the foundation walls showed dampness and staining from lake-effect humidity. The existing sump setup lacked the capacity and redundancy needed for peak groundwater conditions. Without proper drainage or wall protection, the basement remained susceptible to seepage and elevated humidity.
After:
Sure-Dry installed a TripleSafe™ sump pump system to provide reliable, three-level pumping protection, including an automatic battery backup. Along the leaking walls, CleanSpace® wall vapor barrier was installed to seal and direct moisture downward. A perimeter WaterGuard® drainage system was added to capture seepage and channel it directly into the new TripleSafe system.
The basement is now dry, protected, and equipped to handle Port Washington’s seasonal groundwater fluctuations.

Before:
A homeowner in Port Washington, WI was dealing with settlement in the concrete patio near their entrance and along the garage apron. Seasonal freeze–thaw cycles and lake-influenced moisture had caused several slabs to sink and shift, creating uneven surfaces, trip hazards, and poor drainage toward the home. Open joints and cracks were allowing water to wash out soils beneath the concrete, worsening the settlement over time.
After:
Sure-Dry lifted the sunken patio and garage apron slabs using PolyLevel® to restore proper height and eliminate trip hazards. After lifting, joints and cracks were sealed with NexusPro®, preventing water infiltration and protecting the slabs from future soil erosion.
The patio and garage apron are now level, stabilized, and fully sealed for long-term durability.

Before

The homeowner in Port Washington, WI had a damp, unprotected crawl space that was allowing excess ground moisture and humid air to collect beneath the home. The moisture had created musty odors, elevated humidity levels, and conditions that could eventually impact indoor air quality and the structural components above. With southeastern Wisconsin's changing groundwater levels and seasonal humidity, the homeowner wanted a permanent crawl space repair solution rather than a temporary fix.

After

Our team performed a complete crawl space encapsulation by installing the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System across the crawl space floor and foundation walls to isolate the home from ground moisture. To further improve energy efficiency and air sealing, we installed RimTight insulation around the rim joists, helping reduce outside air infiltration and moisture intrusion. Because groundwater intrusion was also a concern, we installed a SmartSump Crawl Space Sump Pump System to automatically collect and discharge water before it could accumulate beneath the home. The homeowner now has a cleaner, drier crawl space with improved moisture control and greater protection for the home above.
