Before & After Photos

Before: A homeowner in Rhinelander, WI noticed settlement and cracking beginning to affect several concrete areas around the home, including the garage floor, garage apron, and walkway leading to the side entrance. Uneven slabs and separating joints had started creating both appearance concerns and potential tripping hazards. Settlement like this is common throughout Northern Wisconsin due to changing soil conditions, moisture movement, and freeze-thaw cycles impacting exterior concrete over time.
After: Our Sure-Dry team restored the settled concrete using PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to carefully lift and stabilize the affected slabs throughout the property. We also sealed joints and cracks using NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to help protect against water intrusion beneath the concrete surfaces. Unlike traditional mudjacking or slab jacking methods, PolyLevel uses lightweight expanding foam that provides precise lifting control while curing quickly for long-lasting support. Once completed, the garage floor, apron, and side entrance walkway had a safer, more level, and more uniform appearance.

Before: A homeowner in Rhinelander, WI noticed the small concrete pathway between the garage and the home leading to the front steps had started settling unevenly over time. The shifting concrete created noticeable height differences and potential tripping hazards along a frequently used walking area. Settlement like this is common throughout Northern Wisconsin due to changing soil conditions, moisture movement, and seasonal freeze-thaw cycles beneath exterior concrete slabs.
After: Our Sure-Dry team restored the pathway using PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to carefully lift and stabilize the settled concrete. Unlike traditional mudjacking or slab jacking methods, PolyLevel uses lightweight expanding foam that allows for precise lifting control while curing quickly for long-lasting support. Once completed, the pathway between the garage and front steps had a safer, more even, and more stable appearance for the homeowner.

Before: A homeowner in Rhinelander, WI noticed settlement and uneven concrete developing across the garage apron and the small wrap-around walkway leading to the garage service door on the side of the home. The settling slabs had created uneven transitions, visible cracking, and potential tripping hazards around frequently used entry points. Exterior concrete settlement like this is common throughout Northern Wisconsin due to shifting soils, moisture changes, and seasonal freeze-thaw cycles beneath the slabs.
After: Our Sure-Dry team restored the settled concrete using PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to carefully lift and stabilize the garage apron and side walkway. We also applied NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to seal the joints and cracks and help reduce water intrusion beneath the slabs. Unlike traditional mudjacking or slab jacking methods, PolyLevel uses lightweight expanding foam that cures quickly and provides precise lifting control without adding excess weight beneath the concrete. Once completed, the garage apron and walkway had a safer, more level, and more uniform appearance for the homeowner.

Before

A homeowner in Rhinelander, WI had a badly settled concrete garage apron that had dropped more than an inch below the garage floor. Every time they pulled into the garage, there was a significant “jump” to get from the sunken apron onto the garage floor.

Concrete settlement like this is common in Northern Wisconsin, where soil movement, erosion and repeated freeze-thaw cycles can create voids beneath concrete slabs. Rather than traditional mudjacking, which requires larger injection holes and adds considerable weight beneath the slab, Sure-Dry recommended PolyLevel® to lift and stabilize the existing concrete.

After

Our concrete repair crew injected lightweight PolyLevel® polyurethane beneath the garage apron, filling the underlying voids and carefully lifting the settled concrete to significantly reduce the 1"+ difference between the apron and garage floor.

Once the slabs were lifted and stabilized, NexusPro® was applied to the joints and cracks. This flexible concrete sealant helps prevent water from getting beneath the slabs where it can contribute to soil washout, settlement and freeze-thaw damage.

The homeowner now has a much smoother transition into the garage without the significant bump they had been dealing with.

Before

A homeowner in Rhinelander, WI had a large concrete walkway and patio system wrapping around their home that had begun to settle and become uneven. This wasn't a typical narrow sidewalk—the concrete extended roughly 6 feet wide in many areas, about the width of two standard sidewalks side by side. With that much concrete surrounding the home, several settled areas created uneven transitions and noticeable low spots.

Northern Wisconsin's freeze-thaw cycles, changing soil conditions and water movement beneath concrete can create voids that eventually allow slabs to sink. Instead of tearing out and replacing such a large amount of concrete, Sure-Dry recommended PolyLevel® to lift and stabilize the existing slabs.

After

Our concrete repair crew strategically injected PolyLevel polyurethane beneath the wide walkway and patio slabs. The expanding foam filled voids beneath the concrete while allowing our crew to carefully lift the settled sections and improve transitions throughout the wraparound area.

Compared with traditional mudjacking, PolyLevel requires smaller injection holes, adds significantly less weight to the underlying soil and cures quickly. Those advantages made it an excellent solution for this project because of the large amount of concrete surrounding the home.

The finished repair provided a more level and stable concrete surface while allowing the homeowner to preserve their extensive wraparound sidewalk and patio rather than replacing it.
