Before & After Photos

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.

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.

A homeowner in Waupun, WI was dealing with a chronically wet basement. After heavy rain, water entered along the cove joint where the floor met the wall, pooling several feet into the space. The block foundation showed signs of seepage and mineral staining, and the existing sump system could not keep up—leaving standing water and damp air that threatened storage and air quality.

After:
To solve the problem and keep the basement dry year-round, our team installed a full WaterGuard® perimeter drainage system along the footing to capture groundwater before it reached the floor surface. A new UltraSump® system was set in a sealed liner with IceGuard® and a buried discharge line to ensure reliable pumping even in freezing conditions. Finally, a CleanSpace® wall system was applied to direct moisture into the drain and create a bright, clean finish.

Now, the Waupun basement remains dry, protected, and ready for safe use—no matter the season.

A homeowner in Waupun, WI was struggling with moisture and musty odors coming from their crawl space. Seasonal humidity and groundwater seepage were leaving the exposed soil damp year-round, leading to condensation on wood framing and insulation. The environment was contributing to higher humidity levels inside the home and creating concern about long-term structural and air-quality impacts.

After:
To create a clean, dry, and energy-efficient space, our team encapsulated the crawl space using the CleanSpace® vapor barrier system over the entire floor and walls. SilverGlo® insulation panels were installed along the foundation walls to add thermal protection and reflective efficiency. A SmartSump® system was added to manage any incidental water intrusion, ensuring complete moisture control.

Now, the crawl space in this Waupun home is dry, sealed, and insulated—protecting the structure from future humidity and improving comfort throughout the home.
