Before & After Photos

Before, this Wausau, WI home faced a common eyesore and tripping hazard: a cracked and unlevel concrete driveway (just look at the before photo!). Finally fed up with the unsightly appearance and potential danger, the homeowner reached out to us at Sure-Dry. We rolled up our sleeves and went to work, applying our innovative PolyLevel and NexusPro solutions to raise and seal the concrete. Notice in the after photo how we transformed the driveway into a smooth, seamless surface. Our fast, effective approach not only elevates curb appeal but ensures a durable fix, aligning perfectly with our mission to provide homes with reliable, long-lasting solutions and remarkable customer experiences.

Before addressing the crawl space in Wausau, WI, notice in the photo gaps and instability plaguing the concrete surfaces, leading to potential hazards. We employed our innovative PolyLevel® system, injecting high-strength polyurethane foam to stabilize, lift, and level the misaligned slabs. Afterward, NexusPro® Joint Sealant was applied to expertly seal joints and cracks, preventing water intrusion and ensuring long-lasting stability. Our expert technicians have significantly reinforced this concrete space, restoring its reliability through proven technologies and delivering seamless understanding pinpointed within our proven concrete lifting solutions.

Before: A homeowner in Wausau, WI had a front walkway leading from the public sidewalk to the front door that had settled enough over the years to become uneven and awkward to walk across. Several slabs had dropped, creating noticeable height differences between sections of concrete and causing water to sit in the lower spots after rain. During the winter, those uneven areas would collect ice and snow, making the walkway even more of a safety concern.
Like many homes around Marathon County, the combination of freeze-thaw weather and shifting moisture under the concrete had slowly caused the slabs to sink out of level. The homeowner wanted to fix the walkway before the tripping hazards became worse and avoid the cost of tearing out and replacing the entire sidewalk.

After: Sure-Dry used PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to carefully lift and stabilize the settled walkway slabs leading from the sidewalk to the front entrance. By injecting the foam beneath the concrete, the crew was able to fill the empty spaces underneath and raise the affected sections back closer to level with minimal disruption to the property. Compared to traditional mudjacking methods, PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam is lightweight, cures quickly, and works especially well for precise lifting along walkways and entrance paths like this.
Once the concrete was leveled, the joints and cracks were sealed using NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to help keep water from getting back underneath the slabs. By the end of the project, the front walkway had smoother transitions, looked much cleaner, and was safer to walk from the sidewalk up to the front door.

Before: A Cracked, Sinking Driveway That Looked Beyond Saving

This Wausau homeowner thought their driveway might need to be torn out and replaced. Multiple slabs were sinking, and the concrete was covered in deep, spreading cracks. It looked rough—and more than just a cosmetic issue, it was becoming a tripping hazard.

Rather than go through the cost and mess of a full replacement, they gave us a call to see if it could be saved.

After: Lifted, Leveled, and Sealed Without Replacing a Single Slab

Instead of tearing it all out, we repaired the existing concrete using two long-lasting, efficient solutions:

• PolyLevel® to lift and level the sunken slabs

• NexusPro® to seal up cracks and joints, keeping water out and stopping future damage

Now the driveway is solid, smooth, and totally safe—without the cost or disruption of replacement. It looks great, holds up to weather, and the fix will last for years.

Before: Sunken Concrete & Poor Drainage

In Wausau, this homeowner was dealing with significant settling in both the driveway and sidewalk. The concrete had sunk far enough that water was draining toward the foundation, not away from it—raising concerns about potential water damage. On top of that, the uneven slabs created tripping hazards and were becoming a daily frustration.

After: Lifted, Leveled & Sealed

Our crew lifted and leveled the sunken concrete using PolyLevel®, giving the entire surface a smooth, even finish. We then sealed all joints and cracks with NexusPro®, a flexible, waterproof sealant that keeps water out and helps prevent future settling.

Now, the concrete is level, safer to walk on, and draining away from the home like it should.
