Before & After Photos

Before

The homeowner in Shawano, WI had a concrete sidewalk running along the shoreline near their boat dock that had settled and shifted over time due to saturated soils and shoreline erosion. Uneven slabs, joint separation, and trip hazards had developed, making the walkway unsafe and allowing water to collect and wash out material beneath the concrete.
Inspection confirmed voids beneath the sidewalk caused by constant moisture exposure and soil movement common in shoreline environments.

After
Sure-Dry lifted and stabilized the shoreline sidewalk using PolyLevel® Injection Foam to restore proper elevation and alignment without disturbing the surrounding shoreline. Once the slabs were leveled and supported, joints and cracks were sealed with NexusPro® Joint Sealant to block water infiltration and help protect the concrete from future erosion-related damage.
The sidewalk is now level, safe, and properly sealed, restoring secure access along the shoreline and to the boat dock.

Before

The homeowner in Shawano, WI noticed sections of their concrete driveway and the side walkway had settled over time, creating uneven surfaces that made walking less safe and impacted the overall appearance of the home. The sunken slabs also allowed water to collect in low areas, increasing the potential for additional soil erosion beneath the concrete. During our inspection, our concrete leveling specialist confirmed the concrete remained structurally sound, but voids had developed beneath the slabs due to soil settlement. This is a common issue throughout Wisconsin where freeze-thaw cycles and changing moisture conditions cause supporting soils to shift. Rather than replacing the concrete, we recommended lifting and permanently stabilizing the existing slabs.

After

Our crew restored the driveway and side walkway using PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to precisely raise the settled concrete back toward its original position. Unlike traditional mudjacking (slab jacking), PolyLevel is lightweight, waterproof, and cures in minutes, allowing the concrete to be used again quickly while providing long-term stabilization beneath the slabs. Once the concrete was properly aligned, we sealed the joints and cracks with NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to help prevent water from infiltrating beneath the slabs, reducing the risk of future erosion and settlement. The homeowner now has safer walking surfaces, improved drainage, and enhanced curb appeal without the cost and disruption of replacing the existing concrete.

Before

The homeowner in Shawano, WI was frustrated with the condition of their concrete driveway, adjoining sidewalk, and front steps. Years of settlement had left multiple slabs uneven, while several deep cracks throughout the concrete created safety concerns and detracted from the home's appearance. The sunken slabs also allowed water to collect, increasing the likelihood of continued soil erosion beneath the concrete. During our inspection, our concrete leveling specialist confirmed the slabs were structurally sound despite the extensive cracking and settlement. Like many Wisconsin homes, freeze-thaw cycles and changing soil moisture had caused the supporting soils to shift over time. Instead of replacing the concrete, we recommended lifting, stabilizing, and sealing the existing slabs.

After

Our production team restored the driveway, adjoining sidewalk, and front steps using PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to precisely lift the settled slabs back toward their original position. Unlike traditional mudjacking (slab jacking), PolyLevel is lightweight, waterproof, cures in minutes, and won't place unnecessary weight on the supporting soils, making it an ideal long-term concrete lifting solution. After leveling was complete, our crew sealed the deep cracks and concrete joints with NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to help prevent water intrusion beneath the slabs and reduce the risk of future erosion and settlement. The homeowner now has a safer, more attractive entrance with restored concrete that is built to perform through Wisconsin's changing seasons.

This Shawano, WI homeowner had sections of their concrete driveway that had settled over time, creating uneven slabs that made it difficult to drive on and increased the risk of trips and falls. Like many driveways in northeastern Wisconsin, seasonal freeze-thaw cycles and soil movement beneath the slab had caused voids to form, allowing the concrete to sink. Rather than replacing the driveway, the homeowner chose a faster, more cost-effective repair using PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam and NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant. Unlike traditional mudjacking, PolyLevel uses lightweight expanding polyurethane foam that won't add additional weight to the soil, cures quickly, and provides precise lifting for long-lasting results.

After

Our crew carefully evaluated the driveway, identified the settled areas, and injected PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam beneath the slabs to accurately lift and stabilize the concrete. Once the driveway was restored to a safe, even elevation, we sealed the joints and cracks with NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to help prevent water from infiltrating beneath the slabs and contributing to future settlement. The homeowner now has a smooth, safer driveway with improved curb appeal and a repair designed to stand up to Wisconsin's harsh freeze-thaw conditions.

Before

This large concrete driveway at a Shawano, WI home included the approach to an impressive five-stall garage, making the concrete a major part of the property. Over time, multiple driveway slabs had settled and the surface had developed cracking throughout several areas. The combination of sunken slabs, uneven transitions, and open cracks affected both the appearance and function of the driveway.

With such a large concrete surface, keeping water from reaching the supporting soils is especially important. Rain and melting snow can enter through cracks and joints, contributing to soil erosion and void formation. Wisconsin’s repeated freeze-thaw cycles can further contribute to movement beneath the slabs.

Sure-Dry used PolyLevel® throughout the driveway to address the settled areas. Unlike traditional mudjacking, which uses a heavy cement-based slurry, PolyLevel uses lightweight expanding polyurethane foam to fill voids and precisely lift the concrete. It requires smaller injection holes, adds very little weight to the underlying soil, and cures quickly.

After

The crew carefully lifted and stabilized the sunken driveway slabs with PolyLevel, improving the transitions between sections of concrete and across the approaches to the five garage stalls.

Because of the driveway’s size and the amount of cracking, NexusPro® was used extensively throughout the project. The crew sealed cracks and joints across the entire driveway, helping prevent water from traveling through these openings and reaching the supporting soils below.

Completing both the lifting and extensive sealing created a noticeable transformation. This large Shawano driveway now has better-supported slabs, smoother transitions, sealed cracks and joints, and added protection against the conditions that can contribute to future settlement.
