Sagging Floors Repaired with Foundation Repair Contractor in Marinette, WI

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.

After

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.

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: A Basement Master Bedroom Without a Legal Exit

In Algoma, WI, these homeowners made their master bedroom in the basement—a popular way to maximize space in the home. But there was one major problem: the room didn’t have a legal egress window. Without a proper emergency exit, the space didn’t meet building codes and posed a serious safety concern.

In addition to the code compliance issue, the existing window was too small to let in adequate light and ventilation, making the room feel dim and closed off.

Knowing how important it is to have a safe, legal sleeping area—especially in a basement—the homeowners reached out to Sure-Dry for a lasting solution.

After: A Safe, Bright, and Code-Compliant Bedroom Escape

Sure-Dry installed a Rockwell Premier Series Egress Window System, specifically designed to meet code requirements and protect homeowners in case of emergency. This upgrade completely transformed the safety, functionality, and appearance of the lower-level master suite.

What We Installed:

A code-compliant egress window large enough for safe emergency exit
A durable Rockwell stone-look composite window well with built-in ladder
A polycarbonate cover to keep out water, leaves, and pests
Improved natural light and ventilation for a more comfortable bedroom environment

With the new egress window in place, this basement bedroom now meets Wisconsin building codes and provides the homeowners with peace of mind knowing they have a safe exit point in the event of a fire or emergency.
