Before & After Photos

To lift sunken floors above, our crew installed SmartJacks to their crawlspace. SmartJacks lift the above floors back to their correct location and can be adjusted at any time. 

In Redgranite, WI, a homeowner was facing a serious issue - a sinking foundation that threatened the structural integrity of their home. You can see in the before photo the visible signs of distress in the foundation. Understanding the urgency, our team sprang into action, employing the Helical Pier system to offer a reliable, lasting solution. Check out the after photo – it shows how we were able to stabilize the foundation, securing the homeowner's peace of mind and the future of their home. Our commitment to remarkable customer experiences and enduring solutions shines through in transformations like these.

Before:
A Minocqua homeowner noticed bouncy, uneven floors and small gaps opening along baseboards. Interior doors had begun to stick, and hairline drywall cracks were appearing. In the crawl space, aging wood posts were bearing on thin pads over soft soil, allowing the floor system to settle.

After:
We installed the SmartJack® adjustable steel support system. Each jack was set on an engineered footing to distribute loads and resist settlement. After adding a supplemental beam where spans required it, we tightened the SmartJacks in controlled increments to bring floors back toward level and eliminate bounce.

The result is a stable first floor and a crawl space with reliable, adjustable support for long-term performance.

Before
A lake home in Minocqua, WI, was experiencing foundation settlement that threatened the long-term stability of the structure. Homes near lakes can encounter challenging soil conditions, including soils affected by changing groundwater levels and moisture, which can contribute to settlement beneath a foundation. The homeowner needed a proven foundation repair solution capable of reaching stable, load-bearing soils below the home.
After
Sure-Dry installed Push Pier Foundation Piering System beneath the affected portions of the lake home's foundation. The steel piers were hydraulically driven through the weaker soils until reaching competent load-bearing material, creating stable support for the structure. The home's weight could then be transferred through the pier system to the stronger soils below.
By addressing the underlying settlement rather than simply repairing visible symptoms, the foundation repair provided permanent stabilization and greater peace of mind for the homeowner.

Before
A homeowner in Minocqua, WI, wanted to improve the safety and functionality of their basement by adding a properly sized emergency exit. The existing basement did not have an adequate means of emergency escape and rescue in the planned living area, limiting how the space could safely be used. With Wisconsin homeowners increasingly looking to make better use of their basements, installing an egress window can provide an important combination of emergency access, natural light, and ventilation.
After
Sure-Dry installed a new Egress Window System to provide a dedicated emergency escape and rescue opening from the basement. The installation required creating an opening through the foundation wall, properly setting and sealing the window, and installing the exterior window well to provide clear access from the basement to the outdoors.
The completed egress window gives the homeowner a safer and brighter basement while providing an important emergency exit and improving the overall functionality of the space.
