Before & After Photos

Before
The homeowner in Marinette, WI noticed sagging floors and bounce throughout the main level of the home, with the issue traced back to the crawl space below. Upon inspection, undersized and settling support posts were no longer providing adequate structural support, allowing floor joists to deflect over time. These conditions are common in northern Wisconsin homes where soil conditions and aging supports contribute to uneven floors and reduced structural performance.

After
Sure-Dry installed SmartJack® adjustable steel support posts to stabilize the crawl space and restore proper support to the floor system above. Each SmartJack was installed on a reinforced footing and adjusted to lift and permanently support the sagging beams and joists, improving load transfer and floor stability. The system was designed to provide long-term structural support while allowing for future adjustment if needed.
The homeowner now has solid, stable floors and confidence in the structural integrity of their home.

Before
The homeowner in Marinette, WI was remodeling a finished basement to add a new bedroom but lacked a code-compliant emergency escape and rescue opening. The existing basement window did not meet egress requirements for size, height, or accessibility, creating a safety concern and preventing the space from being used legally as a bedroom.
Inspection confirmed that a properly sized opening, window well, and drainage solution were needed to meet local building codes and provide safe emergency exit.

After
Sure-Dry installed a full RockWell Egress Window system, including precise foundation cutting, a properly sized window opening, and a secure window well designed for safe exit and natural light. The installation was completed to integrate cleanly with the existing finished basement layout while meeting all egress requirements for the new bedroom.
The basement bedroom is now code-compliant, brighter, and safer, adding functional living space and long-term value to the home.

Before

The homeowner was in the process of remodeling their basement for additional living space but was dealing with active water intrusion along the foundation walls during heavy rain. Moisture concerns threatened the remodel plans and raised concerns about long-term durability and basement usability. In addition, the basement lacked proper emergency escape options, limiting safety and preventing full code compliance for finished living areas.
Inspection confirmed the need for a permanent interior water management system along with properly sized emergency escape openings.

After
Sure-Dry installed a full interior basement waterproofing system to manage groundwater and keep the remodeled basement dry and protected. To support the new living space layout, two properly sized RockWell Egress Window systems with covers were installed, providing safe emergency exits and increased natural light. Each installation was completed with precise foundation cutting and window well placement to integrate cleanly with the finished basement design.
The basement is now dry, code-compliant, and fully functional for finished living space.

Before

The homeowner in Marinette, WI wanted to make their basement brighter, safer, and more functional by adding an egress window. The existing basement had limited natural light and lacked a code-compliant emergency escape opening, making it less inviting and restricting future use of the space. During our inspection, we determined the foundation wall was an excellent candidate for an egress window installation. For many Wisconsin homeowners, adding an egress window is one of the best ways to improve both the safety and value of a home while preparing a basement for additional living space.

After

Our crew completed the transformation by carefully excavating outside the foundation, precision-cutting the concrete wall, and installing a new Egress Window System with a properly sized window well—all in just one day. The new window floods the basement with natural light, provides a safe emergency exit, and creates a more open, comfortable feel. Once the installation was complete, the homeowner had a basement that was not only brighter and more inviting but also better suited for future finishing projects while meeting modern safety standards.
