Before: Sunken Concrete & Poor Drainage

In Wausau, this homeowner was dealing with significant settling in both the driveway and sidewalk. The concrete had sunk far enough that water was draining toward the foundation, not away from it—raising concerns about potential water damage. On top of that, the uneven slabs created tripping hazards and were becoming a daily frustration.

After: Lifted, Leveled & Sealed

Our crew lifted and leveled the sunken concrete using PolyLevel®, giving the entire surface a smooth, even finish. We then sealed all joints and cracks with NexusPro®, a flexible, waterproof sealant that keeps water out and helps prevent future settling.

Now, the concrete is level, safer to walk on, and draining away from the home like it should.

Before: A homeowner in Wausau, WI contacted Sure-Dry after noticing the concrete back patio and steps had become uneven and settled over time. The shifting concrete created tripping hazards around the patio area and caused water to collect near the steps during heavy rain and snowmelt. Like many homes throughout Marathon County and Central Wisconsin, repeated freeze-thaw cycles and changing soil conditions beneath the slabs had caused the concrete to sink and separate. The homeowner was searching for a concrete lifting company and concrete leveling contractor that could restore the patio and steps without the expense and disruption of replacement.
Traditional mudjacking, also referred to as slab jacking, can place additional weight on already unstable soils and often requires larger drill holes throughout the slab surface. The homeowner wanted a long-lasting concrete step repair solution that would improve safety, drainage, and usability throughout the outdoor living space.

After: Sure-Dry inspected the back patio and steps and identified several settlement areas beneath the affected concrete slabs. To restore the surfaces, the crew installed PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam beneath the settled sections to carefully lift and level the concrete back into position. Unlike traditional mudjacking methods, PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam is lightweight, cures quickly, and helps reduce additional stress on weakened soils beneath the slab. Once the lifting process was completed, the joints and cracks were sealed using NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to help prevent future water intrusion and soil washout beneath the patio and steps.
The completed repair restored a safer and more stable outdoor surface while helping protect the concrete against continued settlement common throughout Wausau and Central Wisconsin.
