Thanks to Sure-Dry, the owners got back their valued home space, encapsulating our mission to deliver not just service, but a seamless, long-lasting solution.

Before: A Flooded Crawl Space and an Uncomfortable Home Above

In Tripoli, WI, this homeowner was facing persistent water and humidity issues in their crawl space. During heavy rains, the space would flood—bringing in moisture, mold risk, and musty odors that affected the home above. As an older homeowner, they were no longer able to get down into the crawl space to manage the problem, and it was clear the moisture was taking a toll on both the structure and comfort of the house.

They needed a long-term solution to eliminate water, reduce humidity, and improve the overall energy efficiency of the home—without requiring constant maintenance.

After: A Dry, Sealed, and Energy-Efficient Crawl Space

Sure-Dry installed a complete crawl space waterproofing and insulation system designed to eliminate water intrusion, control humidity, and create a healthier, more stable environment under the home.

What We Installed:

• A new sump pump system to actively remove water

• Drainage matting to direct moisture to the sump system

• CleanSpace® Vapor Barrier to seal out ground moisture and humidity

• Silverglo™ Insulation along the crawl space walls for added energy efficiency

• RimTight™ insulation at the rim joists to stop air leaks and moisture infiltration

• A SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifier to keep humidity in check year-round

• New vent covers to fully seal off exterior air and moisture

Now, the crawl space is dry, clean, and fully encapsulated, making the entire home above warmer in winter, cooler in summer, and much more comfortable overall. The homeowner no longer has to worry about water intrusion or crawl space maintenance.

Before: A homeowner in Wautoma, WI contacted Sure-Dry after ongoing basement leaks left sections of the floor damp after heavy rain. The foundation design prevented trenching along the perimeter, limiting traditional drainage options.

After: Our crew installed the DryTrak® Baseboard Drainage System, which collects and channels seepage along the wall-floor joint without requiring excavation. Water is directed to a SuperSump® Premier Pump System, providing powerful, reliable pumping performance.

The basement now stays completely dry, giving the homeowner long-term protection and confidence.

Before: A homeowner in Wautoma, WI contacted Sure-Dry after discovering standing water and high humidity in their crawl space. The damp environment was causing musty odors, insulation deterioration, and concern about potential mold growth beneath the home.

After: Our team encapsulated the area with the CleanSpace® Vapor Barrier System to seal out ground moisture and humidity. A SmartSump® Crawl Space Sump Pump System was installed to collect and discharge water, supported by an IceGuard® Discharge Line System and buried downspout extension to prevent freezing and surface discharge near the home.

The result is a dry, protected crawl space and improved air quality throughout the house.

Water was finding its way into the basement of this home in Neshkoro, WI between the foundation walls and footing, damaging the wood storage shelves and other things the homeowners had stored on the basement floor.  

To protect the basement from any future water damage, Sure-Dry Basement Systems installed their WaterGuard® system.  The WaterGuard® system collects water that seeps through basement walls and drains it to your sump pump. The system installs quickly and has a clean finished appearance, meaning you don't have to worry about having an unsightly drain around the basement.
