Before A homeowner in Woodruff, WI contacted our basement waterproofing company after experiencing water seepage along the basement perimeter and damp conditions in a small crawl space area connected to the foundation. During heavy rain and spring snowmelt, groundwater was entering at the wall-floor joint, creating a wet basement repair concern and increasing humidity levels in the adjoining crawl space. Our basement waterproofing contractor identified hydrostatic pressure beneath the slab and moisture migration into the crawl space due to exposed soil and lack of vapor protection.
After Our team installed the WaterGuard® Interior Drainage System along the basement perimeter to intercept groundwater before it reached the floor surface. Collected water was directed to a newly installed SuperSump® Sump Pump System to efficiently discharge water away from the foundation. In the small crawl space area, we installed the CleanSpace® Vapor Barrier System to seal exposed earth and prevent moisture vapor from entering the basement environment.
The basement and adjoining crawl space are now protected with a controlled basement waterproofing system designed for long-term performance in Woodruff, WI.

Failing, Cracked Block Wall Foundation Repaired & Stabilized in Woodruff, WI
Before
The homeowner in Woodruff, WI noticed stairstep cracks forming along a block foundation wall and became increasingly concerned when sections of the wall began showing signs of movement. These warning signs are commonly associated with foundation settlement and lateral soil pressure, which can place significant stress on masonry foundation walls over time. Wanting to prevent further structural damage, the homeowner contacted Sure-Dry, a trusted foundation repair company serving Northern Wisconsin.
During the inspection, our System Design Specialist evaluated the foundation wall and confirmed that exterior soil pressure was contributing to the cracking and displacement. If left uncorrected, the movement could continue to worsen, resulting in additional structural concerns and more extensive foundation repair needs in the future.
After
To stabilize the wall and prevent further movement, Sure-Dry installed the GeoLock Wall Anchor System. This proven foundation repair solution uses steel earth anchors installed in stable soil away from the home and connected to heavy-duty steel wall plates inside the basement. Once tensioned, the system helps counteract lateral soil pressure and provides long-term stabilization for the affected wall.
After the installation was complete, our crew restored the disturbed exterior areas and re-seeded the lawn to help return the property to its original condition. The homeowner now has a stabilized foundation wall and added peace of mind knowing their home is protected by a reliable foundation repair solution designed to withstand Wisconsin's challenging soil and weather conditions.

Wet Basement Waterproofing In Ripon, WI
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.
Crawl Space Insulation Improves Home Temperature & Energy Efficiency in Ripon, WI
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.
