Before: Uneven Sidewalk with Trip Hazards

In North Fond du Lac, this homeowner was tired of looking at their sunken, uneven sidewalk. Not only was it a safety concern—with slabs creating visible trip hazards—it was also a place for water to collect (and in turn, ice), and starting to hurt the home’s curb appeal. They wanted a solution that would lift and level the concrete without tearing it all out.

After: Safe, Smooth & Sealed

Using PolyLevel®, our team gently lifted and leveled the sunken sidewalk slabs—restoring a smooth, even surface. To finish the job, we applied NexusPro® joint sealant to protect against water intrusion and prevent future settling.

Now the sidewalk is safe to walk on, looks great, and is built to last—no more tripping worries or uneven edges.

Before:
A homeowner in Fond du Lac, WI contacted Sure-Dry after noticing sections of their concrete driveway had settled, creating uneven joints, trip hazards, and water pooling near the garage. The slab settlement aligned with the clay-rich soils and freeze-thaw patterns common in Fond du Lac County, where seasonal moisture changes can create voids beneath concrete. Inspection confirmed multiple areas of differential settlement and open joints that were allowing water to penetrate beneath the slab.

After:
The driveway was lifted and stabilized using PolyLevel® to fill underlying voids and restore the slabs to their proper elevation without adding weight to the soil. Once leveled, all cracks and joints were sealed with NexusPro® to protect the concrete from future water intrusion and soil washout. The completed repair eliminated trip hazards, restored proper drainage pitch, and provided a durable finish ready for Wisconsin’s freeze-thaw cycles.
The homeowner gained a safer, smoother driveway with long-term protection against settlement.

Before
A homeowner in North Fond du Lac, WI began noticing uneven sections throughout their concrete driveway, walkway, and front steps leading up to the entry. Over time, soil settlement beneath the slabs caused sections to sink and separate, creating trip hazards and allowing water to collect along the surfaces. These conditions are common in Wisconsin due to freeze-thaw cycles and shifting soils, especially during seasonal snowmelt and heavy rain. The homeowner had concerns about safety, water intrusion, and further deterioration if left unaddressed, and began searching for concrete leveling near me and concrete lifting Wisconsin solutions.

Traditional mudjacking was considered, but the homeowner was hesitant due to the heavier material, larger drill holes, and potential for future settlement. They wanted a long-term solution that would restore the concrete while minimizing disruption to their property.

After
A Sure-Dry System Design Specialist evaluated the property and recommended lifting and stabilizing the affected areas using PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam and sealing all joints and cracks with NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant. Small, strategically placed injection points were used to introduce the expanding PolyLevel material beneath the slabs, allowing for precise lifting and long-term stabilization without adding excess weight to the underlying soils. Compared to traditional mudjacking, PolyLevel cures quickly, requires smaller drill holes, and provides a more durable, moisture-resistant solution that won’t wash out or settle over time.

Once the concrete was restored to a safe and level position, NexusPro was applied to seal all joints and cracks, helping prevent water infiltration and further soil erosion beneath the slabs. This combination of concrete lifting and sealing provided a complete, long-lasting repair solution for the driveway, walkway, and front steps.
The homeowner now has a safer, more stable entryway and driveway with improved curb appeal and long-term protection against Wisconsin’s harsh weather conditions.

In Fond Du Lac, WI, our Sure-Dry crew raised sunken concrete slabs and sealed cracks on their patio.

To raise their sunken slabs, we injected Polyurethane foam underneath the concrete. Polyurethane foam is waterproof and will never wash out so these homeowners won't have to worry about this issue happening again.

Then to seal the cracks, which were a result of the sunken concrete, we applied NexusPro Crack Repair. This will seal the cracks while also providing a layer of protection from water so they won't wash out over time.

Just 15 minutes later, these homeowners were able to enjoy their patio again without the fear of tripping anymore!
