Before & After Photos

Before

The homeowner in Sheboygan, WI noticed their driveway, front walkway, and concrete steps had settled over time, creating uneven surfaces, widening cracks, and potential tripping hazards. Water was beginning to collect in the low areas, increasing the risk of additional soil erosion beneath the concrete. Many homeowners experiencing these issues research concrete lifting solutions and compare them to mudjacking, a traditional slab jacking method that uses a heavy cement-based material to raise settled concrete.

After

Sure-Dry restored the affected concrete surfaces using PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam. The lightweight foam was injected beneath the driveway, walkway, and steps to fill voids and carefully lift each section back toward its proper elevation. Once the concrete leveling process was complete, NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant was applied to seal cracks and joints, helping prevent water intrusion beneath the slabs. Unlike mudjacking, PolyLevel cures quickly, requires smaller injection holes, adds less weight to underlying soils, and provides a long-lasting solution for homeowners seeking professional concrete lifting and concrete step repair services in Sheboygan County.

Before
A homeowner in Sheboygan, WI was dealing with a severely cracked and uneven concrete sidewalk connecting the driveway to an entrance of the home. Several slabs had settled significantly, creating uneven transitions and noticeable trip hazards along a walkway used regularly to enter and exit the house. Settlement like this can develop as supporting soils compress, erode, or leave voids beneath the concrete, allowing individual slabs to sink and crack.
After
Sure-Dry restored the walkway using PolyLevel® High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to lift and stabilize the sunken slabs. Small injection holes allowed the expanding polyurethane foam to fill underlying voids and carefully raise the concrete, improving the transitions between slabs without tearing out and replacing the entire sidewalk. NexusPro® Concrete Joint Sealant was then applied to the severe cracks and joints to help limit water intrusion beneath the repaired concrete. Mudjacking, sometimes called slab jacking, uses a heavier cement-based material pumped beneath settled concrete; PolyLevel provides a lightweight alternative with smaller injection holes, precise lifting, and minimal disruption around the walkway. The completed concrete leveling and concrete floor repair gave the homeowner a smoother, more stable walking surface between the driveway and home entrance while reducing the existing trip hazards.

In the before photo, it is clear to see the concrete has sunken into the Earth. To raise it up, the crew drilled 4 pence sized holes into the concrete and injected polyurethane foam. This foam is waterproof and will not ever be washed out. 

Before:
A homeowner in Suamico, WI had two settling sidewalk sections leading up to their home, creating uneven surfaces and visible trip hazards. Seasonal freeze–thaw cycles and moisture-sensitive soils had caused the slabs to sink at different rates, leaving gaps, tilted panels, and poor drainage along the walkway. The settlement worsened each year as voids formed beneath the concrete.
After:
Sure-Dry lifted and restored both sidewalks using PolyLevel®, injecting the high-density structural foam beneath the settled slabs to raise them back to their original elevation. The material expanded to fill voids and stabilize the soil, creating a smooth, level surface with long-term support that holds up through Wisconsin’s seasonal ground movement.
The walkways are now safer, properly aligned, and visually improved for the homeowner.

Before

The homeowner in Suamico, WI had noticed the concrete sidewalk leading from the driveway to the front door had settled over time, creating uneven slabs and a noticeable trip hazard for family members and guests. In addition to affecting the home's curb appeal, the low areas allowed water to collect, increasing the potential for further soil erosion beneath the concrete. During our inspection, we confirmed the sidewalk was structurally sound but had experienced soil settlement beneath the slabs—a common issue in Wisconsin due to freeze-thaw cycles and changing soil moisture conditions. Rather than replacing the sidewalk, we recommended lifting and stabilizing the existing concrete.

After

Our crew restored the sidewalk using PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to carefully 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 additional stress on the supporting soils. The result is a smooth, safe walkway leading from the driveway to the front entrance while helping prevent future settlement. The homeowner now enjoys improved curb appeal and a safer path to their home without the expense and disruption of concrete replacement.
