Before & After Photos

Before

The concrete patio and front steps at this Ripon, WI home had experienced years of settlement caused by Wisconsin's freeze-thaw cycles and gradual soil movement beneath the slabs. Located beneath a roof overhang, the patio still experienced moisture infiltration around the slab edges and joints, allowing supporting soils to shift over time. The uneven concrete created trip hazards at the steps leading into the home and left the patio with noticeable elevation differences. Looking for an alternative to replacement, the homeowner contacted a trusted concrete leveling company to restore the existing concrete using PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam and NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant. Unlike traditional mudjacking, PolyLevel is lightweight, cures in minutes, and provides long-lasting support without adding unnecessary weight beneath the slabs.

After

Our crew carefully mapped the slab elevations before beginning the repair and monitored lift progress throughout the installation to achieve a smooth transition between the patio, steps, and home's entryway. PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam was injected beneath the settled concrete to fill hidden voids and precisely raise the slabs back toward their original position. Once leveling was complete, NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant was applied to the joints and cracks to help prevent water intrusion that could lead to future soil erosion beneath the concrete. The homeowner now has a safer, more attractive entry with restored concrete that blends seamlessly with the home's exterior while avoiding the expense and disruption of replacement.

Before

A homeowner in Ripon, WI was dealing with a badly damaged concrete driveway that had settled significantly over the years. Multiple slabs had dropped to different elevations, creating major trip hazards, rough transitions, and an uneven driving surface. Wisconsin's freeze-thaw cycles, combined with water entering open joints and washing away supporting soils, allowed hidden voids to develop beneath the concrete, making the settlement progressively worse. Instead of replacing the driveway, the homeowner chose a trusted concrete leveling company to restore the existing concrete using PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam and NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant. Unlike traditional mudjacking, PolyLevel is lightweight, cures in minutes, and provides long-lasting support without placing additional weight on unstable soils.

After

Our crew first documented slab elevations and identified the areas where soil erosion had created voids beneath the driveway. PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam was then strategically injected beneath the settled slabs, precisely lifting and stabilizing the concrete while filling the hidden voids below. Once the driveway was restored to a much smoother, safer elevation, NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant was applied to the joints and cracks to help keep water from penetrating beneath the slabs. Sealing these openings helps reduce future soil washout and freeze-thaw damage while improving the driveway's finished appearance. The homeowner now has a safer, more attractive driveway without the expense, mess, and downtime of complete replacement.

Before

The concrete slabs directly in front of this Ripon, WI garage had settled, creating an uneven transition at the garage entrance. This type of settlement can cause a noticeable bump when pulling vehicles in and out and can continue to worsen as voids develop beneath the concrete.

Wisconsin’s freeze-thaw cycles and changing soil moisture levels can contribute to concrete settlement. As the soil beneath a slab shifts, washes out, or loses its ability to properly support the concrete, the heavy slab above can begin to sink.

Traditional mudjacking attempts to correct this problem by pumping a heavy cement-based mixture beneath the concrete. Sure-Dry instead used PolyLevel®, a lightweight expanding polyurethane foam designed to fill voids beneath the slab and precisely lift the concrete. PolyLevel requires smaller injection holes than traditional mudjacking, adds very little additional weight to the underlying soil, and cures quickly.

After

PolyLevel was injected beneath the settled garage slabs to fill the voids and carefully lift the concrete back toward its proper position.

The repair improved the transition into the garage while restoring support beneath the slabs. Instead of removing and replacing otherwise usable concrete, the homeowners were able to address the settlement with a minimally invasive concrete lifting solution.

A homeowner in Waupun, WI noticed their concrete driveway and front walkway had begun to settle and separate over time. The driveway slabs had dropped nearly two inches near the garage, creating uneven edges and pooling water. The walkway leading to the front steps showed multiple trip points and open joints where water and debris collected, accelerating surface wear and freeze–thaw cracking.

After:
To restore safety and appearance, the crew used PolyLevel® expanding foam to lift and stabilize the settled slabs across the driveway and front walkway. Once level, all joints and cracks were cleaned and sealed with NexusPro®, a long-lasting silicone sealant designed to block water and remain flexible through Wisconsin’s seasonal changes.

Now, the concrete surfaces around this Waupun home are even, watertight, and protected from future settling—improving both function and curb appeal.

Before

A homeowner in Waupun, WI noticed the small concrete patio next to their front entrance had already begun to sink, despite the home being only a few years old. The settling slab created an uneven transition at the front entry, creating a tripping hazard and allowing water to collect near the foundation. During our inspection, we determined that soil settlement beneath the slab had created voids, a common issue in Wisconsin where newly placed soils continue to consolidate and freeze-thaw cycles accelerate movement beneath exterior concrete. Rather than replacing the nearly new patio, our concrete leveling specialist recommended lifting and stabilizing the existing slab.

After

Our crew restored the front entry patio using PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to carefully lift the settled slab back toward its original position. Unlike traditional mudjacking (slab jacking), PolyLevel is lightweight, waterproof, and cures in minutes, allowing the patio to be used again quickly while providing long-term stabilization beneath the concrete. Once the slab was properly aligned, the joints were sealed with NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to help prevent water from washing beneath the slab and causing future settlement. The homeowner now has a safe, level front entrance that complements their newer home while helping protect the investment for years to come.
