Before & After Photos

Homeowners in Green Bay, WI noticed their kitchen floor has begun to sag. After looking into it, they found out it was due to the crawlspace's support beams below.

Our team at Sure-Dry Basement Systems knew just the answer. We installed our Supplemental Beams and SmartJacks. They support the crawlspaces ceiling from sagging in any further, but can be adjusted to raise the ceiling back to its proper location. 

In Green Bay, WI, a failing basement presented a significant structural challenge for the homeowner, with weakened floor joists causing noticeable sagging. As demonstrated in the before photo, instability was a concern. We addressed this problem by implementing the SmartJack® System, aptly visible in the after photo. Our solution stabilized weakened floor joists by using galvanized steel columns on a steel base and distributed weight through an engineered fill. Equipped with adjustable top brackets, this installation restored stability and optimized elevation, leaving the homeowners reassured by proven foundation repair expertise.

In Green Bay, WI, a homeowner spotted early signs of foundation trouble and called us, eager to prevent further damage. Giving peace to their concerns, our team sprang into action. As you can see in the before photo, the foundations relayed urgent attentiveness. Luckily, we introduced the perfect remedy: GeoLock Wall Anchor system. Notice in the after photo how securely and discreetly the system corrected the foundation problem, preventing any future issues—a durable solution blending seamlessly with their home's aesthetic.

This old farmhouse in Sheboygan, WI was suffering from severely cracked and crumbling foundation walls which was not only scary on its own, but was causing other serious structural problems throughout the home. We were able to install our Everbrace Wall Restoration System throughout the basement, to permanently restore the foundation. The homeowner was thrilled with the results and is excited that her home is now safe and permanently stabilized.

The EverBrace Wall Restoration System™ permanently stabilizes the most extreme cases of failing foundation walls.

With EverBrace, steel corrugated panels and beams work together to strengthen and stabilize foundation walls. Rigid foam is then injected to fill any voids behind the steel panels, fully transferring the load from the failing structure to the new support panels.

Before: A Finished Basement Missing One Key Element

These Sheboygan homeowners had recently completed a beautiful basement renovation—adding new flooring, lighting, and a functional layout. But one thing was missing: a code-compliant egress window. Without a proper emergency exit, the space couldn’t legally be used as a bedroom or safe living area. The lack of natural light also left the space feeling dim and enclosed.

Wanting to protect their investment and their family, the homeowners contacted Sure-Dry to ensure the basement was not only beautiful—but safe and up to code.

After: A Safe, Bright, and Code-Compliant Basement Upgrade

Our team installed a tan Rockwell Premier Series Egress Window System, known for its sleek appearance, strength, and full IRC compliance. The new system not only met safety requirements—it completely transformed the space with natural light and fresh air.

What We Installed:

• A large, code-compliant egress window with a tan Rockwell stone-look composite well

• Built-in ladder for safe and easy emergency exit

• Polycarbonate cover to prevent water, leaves, and debris from collecting in the well

• Seamless exterior finish that complements the home’s look and landscaping

With the new egress system in place, the finished basement now meets all legal requirements for living space—and feels more open, bright, and welcoming.
