Before & After Photos

Before: A homeowner in Wausau, WI contacted Sure-Dry after noticing the concrete back patio and steps had become uneven and settled over time. The shifting concrete created tripping hazards around the patio area and caused water to collect near the steps during heavy rain and snowmelt. Like many homes throughout Marathon County and Central Wisconsin, repeated freeze-thaw cycles and changing soil conditions beneath the slabs had caused the concrete to sink and separate. The homeowner was searching for a concrete lifting company and concrete leveling contractor that could restore the patio and steps without the expense and disruption of replacement.
Traditional mudjacking, also referred to as slab jacking, can place additional weight on already 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 back patio and steps and identified several settlement areas beneath the affected concrete slabs. 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. Once the lifting process was completed, the joints and cracks were sealed using NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to help prevent future water intrusion and soil washout beneath the patio and steps.
The completed repair restored a safer and more stable outdoor surface while helping protect the concrete against continued settlement common throughout Wausau and Central Wisconsin.

Before The concrete wrap-around patio and walkway leading to this Merrill, WI home had settled over time, creating uneven sections and visible gaps throughout the entry path. The sinking concrete created tripping hazards near the entrance and allowed water to collect along portions of the patio during heavy rain and seasonal snowmelt. Concerns like these are common for homeowners searching for concrete leveling, concrete lifting contractor services, and concrete step repair in Lincoln County due to Wisconsin’s freeze-thaw cycles and shifting soils.
Traditional mudjacking methods were considered, but the homeowner wanted a longer-lasting concrete lifting solution that would not add additional weight beneath the slab or require extensive disruption around the home’s entrance area.

After Sure-Dry installed the PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to carefully lift and stabilize the settled concrete patio and walkway sections surrounding the home’s entrance. This lightweight concrete lifting system was injected beneath the slabs to restore proper elevation and eliminate dangerous uneven surfaces. Unlike traditional mudjacking or slab jacking methods that use heavy grout mixtures, PolyLevel cures quickly, adds minimal weight to the soil, and provides precise lifting control for long-term concrete leveling performance.
To finish the repair, the crew sealed the joints and cracks using NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to help reduce water intrusion and further soil washout beneath the slabs. The completed repair restored a safer, cleaner entrance while helping protect the patio from future settlement issues common throughout Central Wisconsin.
