Before & After Photos

Before: A homeowner in Merrill, WI had several concrete areas around the home that had started settling and shifting over the years, including a backyard patio, the wrap-around walkway between the house and garage, and the concrete landings beneath two entry step areas. The walkway leading toward the backyard patio had become especially uneven in spots, making it awkward to walk through the side of the property. The concrete around both step entrances had also dropped enough that the transitions into the home no longer felt level or safe.
Like a lot of homes around Lincoln County, years of moisture changes and Northern Wisconsin freeze-thaw weather had slowly caused the soil beneath the concrete to settle. Cracks and open joints had started letting more water underneath the slabs, which only continued making the problem worse over time.

After: Sure-Dry used PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to carefully lift and stabilize the settled patio, wrap-around walkway, and concrete entry areas around the home. By injecting the foam beneath the slabs, the crew was able to fill voids underneath the concrete and raise the affected sections back closer to level without the need for a full tear-out and replacement. Compared to traditional mudjacking methods, PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam is lightweight, cures quickly, and works well for detailed lifting around steps, patios, and walkways.
After the lifting work was completed, 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 transitions around the entrances were smoother, the walkway between the house and garage was much safer to use, and the backyard patio area looked far more even and cleaned up overall.

In Princeton, WI, a homeowner faced a sinking and cracked driveway in front of their garage, as evident in the before photo. This was not only an eyesore but a safety concern. At Sure-Dry, we resolved this by employing our advanced PolyLevel® system to lift and level the concrete slabs using high-strength polyurethane foam. The precision lift is evident as you compare before and after photos. To complete the repair, NexusPro® Joint Sealant secured exposed joints, protecting against water infiltration. This permanent solution provides both functional and aesthetic rejuvenation for this home.

Facing uneven concrete can be a real trip hazard, just like what our Custer, WI, homeowner experienced. As you can see in the before photo, the significant lifting and gaping made their outdoor space less enjoyable and even unsafe. We stepped in with our PolyLevel and NexusPro solutions, achieving a remarkable transformation. Notice in the after photo how seamlessly and safely blended the concrete now appears. Our intervention not only brought beauty back but ensures a durable fix for years to come.

Before: A homeowner in Custer, WI began noticing significant settlement issues along the garage floor, exterior apron, and walkway wrapping around the corner of the home. Sections of the concrete had become uneven and cracked over time, creating tripping hazards and allowing water to collect in low areas near the garage entrance and walkway surfaces. The garage apron had also started separating from adjoining slabs, making transitions rougher for vehicles entering the garage. These settlement problems are common throughout Portage County and Central Wisconsin where freeze-thaw cycles and shifting soils gradually weaken the support beneath exterior and interior concrete slabs.
The homeowner researched concrete lifting, concrete leveling, and concrete floor repair solutions after learning that traditional mudjacking and slab jacking methods often rely on heavier materials that can place additional stress beneath already unstable soils.
After: Sure-Dry repaired the settled concrete using PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to carefully raise and stabilize the garage floor, garage apron, and walkway around the corner of the home. This advanced concrete lifting system is installed through small injection ports and expands beneath the slabs to fill voids and restore stable support beneath the concrete surfaces. Compared to traditional mudjacking methods, PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam is lightweight, fast-curing, and designed to resist future washout beneath the slabs.
The completed concrete leveling project restored smoother transitions throughout the garage and exterior walkway areas while improving drainage and reducing hazardous uneven surfaces around the property. By lifting the settled slabs back toward their proper elevation, the repair also helped improve the overall appearance and functionality of the garage entrance and surrounding concrete surfaces.

Before:
A homeowner in Schofield noticed that sections of their driveway and walkway had begun to settle, creating uneven surfaces and noticeable gaps between slabs. The sinking concrete not only affected the home’s curb appeal but also posed tripping hazards and allowed water to pool near the foundation.

After:
Sure-Dry lifted and stabilized the sunken concrete using PolyLevel® to restore the slabs to their proper height. Once leveled, NexusPro® joint sealant was applied to fill cracks and joints, preventing water infiltration and future soil washout.

The finished result provided a safer, smoother surface and a clean, lasting appearance the homeowner could trust.
