Before & After Photos

Before: A homeowner in Two Rivers, WI contacted Sure-Dry after noticing the concrete walkway and back patio near the sliding glass door had become uneven and settled over time. The shifting slabs created tripping hazards around the patio and made the step into the sliding glass door uneven and difficult to navigate safely. Like many homes throughout Manitowoc County and Lakeshore Wisconsin, repeated freeze-thaw cycles and changing soil conditions beneath the slabs had caused the concrete to crack and sink. The homeowner was searching for a concrete lifting company and concrete leveling contractor that could restore the existing concrete without the expense and disruption of replacement.
Traditional mudjacking, also referred to as slab jacking, can place additional weight on unstable soils and often requires larger drill holes throughout the slab surface. The homeowner wanted a long-lasting concrete step repair solution that would improve safety, drainage, and usability throughout the outdoor living space.

After: Sure-Dry inspected the walkway and back patio and identified several settlement areas beneath the affected concrete slabs, including near the step leading into the sliding glass door. To restore the surfaces, the crew installed PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam beneath the settled sections to carefully lift and level the concrete back into position. Unlike traditional mudjacking methods, PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam is lightweight, cures quickly, and helps reduce additional stress on weakened soils beneath the slab while providing a more precise lift.
The completed repair restored safer and more stable walking surfaces while improving the transition into the sliding glass door and helping protect the concrete against continued settlement common throughout Two Rivers and Lakeshore Wisconsin.

The floor of this garage in Dunbar, WI had major cracks due to the movement of the concrete floor from soil erosion and heaving.  

To repair the cracks, Sure-Dry Basement Systems applied their NexusPro Solution. NexusPro is a silicone-based sealant for joints and cracks specially formulated to provide long-lasting flexibility and to stand up to harsh weather conditions. Unlike traditional polyurethane sealants, NexusPro resists UV rays, which means it won't crack, bubble or dry out. That means a single application can seal the joints and cracks in your concrete driveway, patio, pool deck or sidewalk for years to come, protecting it from damage caused by soil compaction and washout.

The NexusPro solution is installed by a highly trained crew that specializes in concrete repair and protection. First, the cracks are drilled, smoothed and prepared with non-absorbent backer rod filler. Then, the NexusPro sealant is inserted in the prepared crack or control joint. Finally, the cracks are detailed with a thin layer of native sand, giving the concrete a uniform, finished appearance. And, of course, sealed concrete cracks mean no unsightly weeds growing through.

Before:
A homeowner in Luxemburg had a settled garage pad and an uneven walkway leading to the deck. Toe-stubbing edges and widening joints let water slip beneath the slabs, causing puddling near the garage and seasonal freeze–thaw damage around the deck steps.

After:
We injected PolyLevel® beneath the settled areas to fill voids and precisely lift the slabs back to a level, properly pitched position. Then we sealed open joints and cracks with NexusPro®, installing backer where needed and finishing with color-match sand for a clean, durable look.

The entry and walkway are now level, safer to use, and better protected against water intrusion and seasonal movement.
