Before & After Photos

Before

The homeowner in Stratford, WI noticed their front steps and walkway leading from the driveway had settled significantly over time. The uneven concrete created noticeable tripping hazards, gaps between adjoining slabs, and low areas where water could collect after rain. These symptoms are common signs of soil settlement beneath concrete surfaces. Many homeowners researching concrete lifting options compare modern repair methods to mudjacking, a traditional slab jacking process that uses a heavy grout mixture to raise sunken concrete.

After

Sure-Dry restored the front steps and walkway using PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam. The lightweight foam was injected beneath the settled concrete to fill voids, stabilize the soil, and carefully lift the slabs back toward their intended position. Once the concrete leveling was complete, NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant was applied to seal cracks and joints, helping reduce future water infiltration beneath the slabs. Compared to mudjacking, PolyLevel cures quickly, requires smaller injection holes, adds less weight to underlying soils, and provides a long-lasting solution for homeowners seeking professional concrete lifting, concrete leveling, and concrete step repair services in Marathon County.

The driveway of this home in Port Edwards was sunken, uneven and had dangerous, unsightly cracks.  Sure-Dry Basement Systems was able to lift and level the driveway with their PolyLevel® Injection Foam system.   PolyLevel® is an expanding polyurethane foam that is injected beneath the concrete to fill the gaps caused by soil erosion and raise and stabilize the concrete surface.

To repair the cracks in the driveway, Sure-Dry applied their NexusPro system.  NexusPro is a silicone-based sealant for joints and cracks specially formulated to provide long-lasting flexibility and to stand up to harsh weather conditions. Unlike traditional polyurethane sealants, NexusPro resists UV rays, which means it won't crack, bubble or dry out. That means a single application can seal the joints and cracks in your concrete driveway, patio, pool deck or sidewalk for years to come, protecting it from damage caused by soil compaction and washout.

Before

A homeowner in Wisconsin Rapids, WI had a settled concrete garage apron where it met their blacktop driveway and garage entrance. The concrete had sunk, creating an uneven transition into the garage. Settlement around garage aprons is common when the soil beneath the slab compacts or washes out, leaving unsupported voids. Wisconsin's repeated freeze-thaw cycles can contribute to additional soil movement and make the difference in elevation more noticeable over time.

After

Sure-Dry used PolyLevel® to lift and level the sunken garage apron. The polyurethane material was injected beneath the concrete, where it expanded to fill underlying voids and provide a controlled lift that brought the slab back toward its proper position.

Unlike traditional mudjacking, PolyLevel uses a lightweight polyurethane material that adds less weight to already unstable soil, requires smaller injection holes, and cures quickly. The completed concrete repair created a smoother transition between the blacktop driveway and garage without the expense and disruption of tearing out and replacing the existing slab.

Before

The concrete steps at the front entrance of this Wisconsin Rapids, WI home had settled and tipped away from the house. Besides making the entrance look uneven, tipped and sunken concrete steps can create an uncomfortable walking surface and a potential trip hazard for anyone entering or leaving the home. Settlement like this often develops as the soil beneath the concrete compacts, erodes, or washes out. Wisconsin's freeze-thaw cycles can contribute to additional movement over time.

After

Sure-Dry used PolyLevel® to carefully lift and level the settled front concrete steps, restoring a safer and more even approach to the home's entrance. NexusPro® was then used to seal the joints and cracks, helping reduce water intrusion beneath the concrete that can contribute to future soil erosion and settlement.

Compared with traditional mudjacking, PolyLevel uses a lightweight polyurethane material, requires smaller injection holes, and cures quickly. It also adds significantly less weight to the already compromised soil beneath the concrete. The combination of concrete lifting and joint sealing gave this homeowner a cleaner, more stable front entrance without having to tear out and replace the existing steps.
