Before & After Photos

Before: A homeowner in Fox Lake, WI noticed sections of their driveway and front walkway had begun to settle unevenly, creating visible trip hazards and poor drainage near the approach to the front entrance. Cracking and separation between the concrete slabs had continued to worsen through Wisconsin’s seasonal freeze-thaw cycles, a common issue throughout Dodge County and surrounding areas where soil movement and moisture fluctuations contribute to sinking concrete. The uneven surfaces not only affected curb appeal, but also created safety concerns for guests using the walkway leading to the front door.
The homeowner began researching concrete lifting, concrete leveling, and concrete floor repair options after learning that traditional mudjacking methods can add additional weight to already unstable soils and often require larger drill holes and longer cure times.
After: Sure-Dry installed the PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to carefully raise and stabilize the settled driveway and walkway slabs leading to the front entrance. This advanced concrete lifting system is injected through small, minimally invasive ports and expands beneath the slab to restore proper elevation and support. Compared to traditional slab jacking or mudjacking, PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam is lightweight, fast-curing, and resistant to future washout beneath the concrete surfaces.
To help protect the repaired joints and cracks from future water intrusion, the crew also applied NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant along the affected seams. This flexible sealant helps reduce water penetration that can contribute to additional settlement and concrete deterioration over time. The completed concrete leveling project restored a safer, more even transition from the driveway to the front walkway while improving the overall appearance of the home’s entryway.
