When a homeowner in Waupaca noticed their concrete driveway beginning to sink, signaling trouble on the horizon, they turned to us at Sure-Dry. Our team swiftly addressed the issue, employing PolyLevel injection to elevate and stabilize the sinking concrete, as vividly illustrated in these before and after photos. Thanks to Sure-Dry, the driveway has been remarkably restored, ensuring a safe, aesthetically pleasing, and durable surface for years to come, all while delivering a seamless and worry-free experience for the homeowner.
In Waupaca, this homeowner had issues at both their attached and detached garage aprons. Over time, the concrete in front of each garage had sunk, creating a noticeable dip that made driving in and out frustrating—and even a little risky. Open joints were also letting in water, which only made the settling worse with each freeze-thaw cycle.
They wanted everything lifted and sealed to prevent further damage and restore a smoother entry.
We raised the sunken slabs at both garage aprons using PolyLevel®, which quickly and cleanly lifts concrete back to its proper height. Then, we sealed all joints and cracks with NexusPro®, a flexible, long-lasting sealant that keeps water out and helps protect the repair long-term.
Now both garage entries are smooth, solid, and sealed—safe to drive on and protected from future settling.

Before
A homeowner in Waupaca, WI had several sections of their back concrete patio that had settled over time, leaving the slabs uneven and creating noticeable trip hazards. The sunken concrete also allowed water to collect in the low areas instead of draining away from the home. Like many outdoor concrete surfaces in Wisconsin, the patio had been affected by soil settlement and repeated freeze-thaw cycles, causing the slabs to sink while remaining structurally sound.
After
Sure-Dry restored the patio using PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to precisely lift and level the settled slabs. Unlike traditional mudjacking, PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam is lightweight, cures in about 15 minutes, and provides long-lasting support without adding excessive weight beneath the concrete. Once the patio was returned to a level position, the homeowner once again had a safer, more attractive outdoor space with improved drainage and no need for costly concrete replacement.

Before
A homeowner in Waupaca, WI had a concrete garage apron and the steps leading down to the lower-level entrance that had settled over time, creating uneven surfaces and noticeable gaps between the concrete slabs. The height differences made it more difficult to safely walk between the garage and lower-level entry while also allowing water to seep into the joints. Wisconsin's freeze-thaw cycles and naturally shifting soils often cause these heavily used concrete areas to settle, leading to trip hazards and continued movement if left unaddressed.
After
Sure-Dry restored the garage apron and lower-level entry steps using PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to accurately lift and stabilize the settled concrete. Unlike traditional mudjacking, PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam is lightweight, cures in about 15 minutes, and provides long-lasting support without placing additional stress on the underlying soils. After the concrete was returned to the proper elevation, all joints and cracks were sealed with NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to help prevent water from infiltrating beneath the slabs and contributing to future settlement. The completed project restored safe access to the lower-level entrance while improving the appearance and longevity of the existing concrete.

Before: A homeowner in Lowell, WI had reached the point where the concrete driveway and walkway leading to the front door were falling apart faster every season. Large cracks had formed throughout several slabs, sections of the concrete had sunk badly out of level, and parts of the walkway had become rough enough that family and guests had to watch where they stepped coming up to the house. Water was also settling into the low spots after rain, which only continued washing out the soil underneath and making the problem worse over time.
Around Dodge County, severe freeze-thaw weather and years of moisture working under older concrete can really take a toll on driveways and walkways like this. The homeowner wanted to avoid the cost and mess of replacing everything and started looking into concrete lifting and concrete leveling options instead.
After: Sure-Dry used PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to lift and stabilize the settled driveway and front walkway slabs. By injecting the foam beneath the concrete, the crew was able to fill the empty spaces underneath and carefully raise several badly sunken sections back closer to level. Compared to traditional mudjacking methods, PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam is lightweight, cures quickly, and helps avoid putting extra stress on already shifting soils beneath the slabs.
After the lifting work was finished, the crew sealed the large cracks and open joints using NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to help keep water from getting back underneath the concrete. By the time the project was completed, the driveway and walkway looked dramatically better, the uneven sections were much safer to walk across, and the whole front approach to the home felt cleaned up and more solid again.
