Before & After Photos

Before

The homeowner in West Bend, WI noticed their concrete patio outside the sliding door entrance had settled over time, creating an uneven transition between the home and the patio surface. The settlement had caused portions of the concrete to sink, creating tripping hazards and allowing water to collect near the patio after rainfall. Conditions like these are common signs of soil settlement beneath exterior concrete slabs. Many homeowners researching concrete lifting solutions compare them to mudjacking, a traditional slab jacking method that uses a heavy grout mixture to raise settled concrete.

After

Sure-Dry restored the patio using PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam. The lightweight foam was injected beneath the settled slab to fill voids, stabilize the supporting soils, and carefully lift the concrete back toward its intended elevation. After the concrete leveling process was completed, NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant was applied to seal cracks and joints, helping prevent water from infiltrating beneath the patio. Unlike mudjacking, PolyLevel cures quickly, requires smaller injection holes, adds less weight to the underlying soils, and provides a durable solution for homeowners seeking professional concrete lifting, concrete leveling, and patio repair services in Washington County.

In Three Lakes, a homeowner faced a challenging problem: a severely cracked and unlevel garage floor in urgent need of lifting and leveling. Our Sure-Dry team expertly addressed the issue by deploying our advanced PolyLevel® system to stabilize, lift, and level the concrete slabs, ensuring a solid foundation beneath. We further fortified this solution with our NexusPro® Joint Sealant, effectively sealing all cracks and joints against water intrusion. Notice in the after photo, the now smooth and level garage floor reflects our commitment to precise, efficient, and lasting concrete repair solutions in Wisconsin.

Before:
A homeowner in Kewaskum had a settled front walkway and stoop. The slabs had dropped at the house and near the steps, creating toe-stubbing edges, uneven step heights, and gaps where water and road salt leaked beneath the concrete.

After:
We injected PolyLevel® beneath the walkway and stoop to fill voids and lift the concrete back to a smooth, properly pitched approach. We then sealed joints and cracks with NexusPro®, installing backer where needed and finishing with color-match sand for a clean look.

The entry is now level with consistent step heights, improved drainage away from the home, and sealed joints to help prevent future settlement.

Before: A homeowner in Kewaskum, WI reached out after noticing their garage apron and adjoining walkway had settled several inches, creating uneven surfaces and tripping hazards. Over time, soil washout and voids beneath the concrete caused the slabs to sink and pull away from the foundation.

After: Our team used the PolyLevel® Concrete Lifting System to inject a high-density expanding foam beneath the affected slabs. The material filled the voids and gently lifted the concrete back to its proper level.

The repair was completed quickly with no mess or downtime, restoring a safe, even surface and a clean appearance around the garage.

The causes of concrete settlement and sinking are the same whether it's a driveway, walkway, patio, garage floor, or pool deck. As soil underneath a concrete slab shrinks, settles or washes away, this leaves empty space, or voids, beneath the slab. With the soil no longer supporting the slab, the concrete will sink, creating an uneven surface.  This was the case for the concrete walkway of this home in Malone, WI.  

To lift and level this home's walway, Sure-Dry Basement Systems installed 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.
