Before & After Photos

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.

In Mountain, WI, this homeowner faced challenges with an unusable crawl space that emitted a damp, musty smell, potentially affecting living areas above. In the before photo, note the moisture issues characteristic of vented, unsealed spaces. Our solution was to expertly encapsulate the space using CleanSpace, providing a dry, clean, and mold-resistant environment. Additionally, RimTight was installed to insulate and seal the rim joists, preventing unconditioned air infiltration.
