Before & After Photos

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, like the driveway of this home in Pickerel, WI.  The sunken concrete caused a dangerous gap between the driveway and the garage floor.  

Sure-Dry Basement Systems was able to lift the concrete of this home's driveway and level it with the garage floor using 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.

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.

Before

A homeowner in West Bend, WI was dealing with settled and cracked concrete around their home, including the back patio and garage floor. The garage floor was especially concerning because a large crack ran down the middle of the concrete, creating an uneven appearance and showing that the slabs had experienced movement.

Wisconsin's changing soil conditions and repeated freeze-thaw cycles can contribute to voids developing beneath concrete. As support is lost, heavy concrete slabs can settle, shift, and eventually crack.

After

Sure-Dry repaired the affected concrete using PolyLevel® to lift and stabilize the settled slabs. The lightweight polyurethane foam is injected beneath the concrete, where it expands to fill underlying voids and restore support.

Unlike traditional mudjacking, PolyLevel requires smaller injection holes, adds significantly less weight to the underlying soil, and cures quickly.

After the slabs were stabilized, NexusPro® was used to seal the joints and cracks, including the large crack running through the garage floor. NexusPro helps protect against water intrusion while remaining flexible through seasonal movement and temperature changes.

The result is a more stable, even, and protected back patio and garage floor without the expense and disruption of complete concrete replacement.

Before

A homeowner in West Bend, WI had a back concrete patio that had settled over time, leaving sections of the patio uneven. When patio slabs sink, they can create uncomfortable walking surfaces and allow water to collect or drain toward areas where it isn't wanted.

Wisconsin's changing soil conditions, moisture fluctuations, and repeated freeze-thaw cycles can contribute to voids beneath concrete slabs. As the soil loses its ability to evenly support the concrete, sections of a patio can begin to sink.

After

Sure-Dry used PolyLevel® to lift and stabilize the settled patio slabs. PolyLevel's lightweight polyurethane material is injected through small holes in the concrete and expands beneath the slab to fill voids and restore support.

Compared with traditional mudjacking, PolyLevel requires smaller injection holes, adds significantly less weight to the underlying soil, and cures quickly.

After the patio was leveled, SealantPro® was applied to the concrete surface. SealantPro penetrates into the concrete to help protect it against water, moisture, and other elements that can contribute to deterioration over time.

The homeowner now has a more level back patio with added protection to help extend the life of the concrete.
