Before & After Photos

Before

A homeowner in Rhinelander, WI was dealing with settled and uneven concrete in two important areas of the property: the garage apron and the concrete steps leading up to the patio at the front of the home. As the slabs shifted, uneven transitions developed around the garage entrance and steps, creating potential trip hazards and making the concrete look noticeably out of place.

Concrete settlement is common throughout Northern Wisconsin, where changing soil moisture and repeated freeze-thaw cycles can contribute to voids and loss of support beneath slabs.

After

Sure-Dry used PolyLevel® high-density polyurethane foam beneath the affected concrete to fill underlying voids and carefully lift and stabilize the garage apron and concrete leading to the patio steps. Small injection holes allow PolyLevel to provide precise lifting while adding significantly less weight than traditional mudjacking material. It also cures quickly, allowing repaired concrete to return to service faster.

Once the concrete was properly positioned, NexusPro® Joint Sealant was applied to the appropriate cracks and joints. NexusPro helps prevent water from entering beneath the slabs, where it can contribute to soil erosion and additional settlement.

The completed concrete repair created smoother transitions at the garage apron and safer, more stable access up the concrete steps to the front patio.

Before

A homeowner in Rhinelander, WI had settling and uneven concrete affecting the garage apron and a large sidewalk system alongside the home. The walkway splits, with one section providing access toward the front of the property while another continues around to the back of the home. Settlement had created uneven transitions and areas where water could work its way into the joints and beneath the slabs.

Northern Wisconsin’s changing soil moisture, frost and repeated freeze-thaw cycles can contribute to soil movement and voids beneath exterior concrete, eventually leaving slabs without consistent support.

After

Sure-Dry used PolyLevel® to lift and stabilize the affected garage apron and sidewalk slabs. Small injection holes were drilled through the concrete, allowing lightweight polyurethane foam to be injected beneath the slabs. As the foam expanded, it filled underlying voids and provided controlled lifting to improve uneven areas and transitions.

Unlike traditional mudjacking, PolyLevel uses a lightweight material that adds significantly less weight to the soils beneath the concrete, requires smaller injection holes and cures quickly.

After the lifting was completed, NexusPro® Joint Sealant was used on the appropriate cracks and joints. Sealing these areas helps limit water intrusion beneath the slabs, where erosion and Wisconsin’s freeze-thaw conditions can contribute to future settlement.

With the garage apron and branching sidewalk lifted, stabilized and sealed, the homeowner now has safer, more even concrete providing access around the home.

The stability of any concrete surface is dependent on the soils beneath it. The weight of concrete and what it supports, combined with natural soil erosion, can lead to sunken and uneven concrete surfaces. This was the case for the concrete around this home in Eldorado, WI, specifically their driveway.  

Sure-Dry Basement Systems provided this home an expert concrete repair solution using the PolyLevel® 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.
