Before: Sinking Sidewalk Became a Safety Concern

In Fond du Lac, this homeowner noticed their sidewalk slabs had started to sink and shift, creating an uneven surface and visible trip hazards. Beyond the safety concern, it just didn’t look good—and they didn’t want it to keep getting worse with time and weather.

They were looking for a fix that would restore both safety and curb appeal—without the hassle of replacement.

After: Even, Sealed & Safe to Walk On Again

Our team used PolyLevel® to lift and level the sunken sidewalk slabs, eliminating the trip hazard and smoothing out the walkway. Then we sealed all joints and cracks with NexusPro® to protect against water intrusion and future settling.

The result? A safe, clean, and solid sidewalk that looks great and performs even better.

In the Fond Du Lac project, unlevel and cracked concrete was making this home's exterior both unsightly and unsafe. As you can see in the before photo, the damage was extensive. We employed the PolyLevel system to expertly stabilize, lift, and level the concrete slabs, restoring them to a stable and secure position next to surroundings sentenced structure. To prevent future issues, we used NexusPro to seal the cracks and joints, protecting the concrete from water infiltration. In the after photo, the revitalized and durable surface reinforces why homeowners trust Sure-Dry for dependable concrete repair solutions.

Before: Uneven Walkways and Patio Hazards

Across this 20+ unit condo community in Fond du Lac, years of settling had left sidewalks and patios cracked, uneven, and unsafe. Slabs had shifted, created trip hazards, and water was beginning to drain toward the buildings in some areas. It was time for a permanent fix that wouldn’t disrupt residents for weeks on end.

After: Lifted, Sealed, and Safe Again

Using our fast-curing PolyLevel® lifting system, we raised and leveled over 20 individual areas across the property. From sunken sidewalks to dipping patio slabs, we restored everything to a safe, even grade. Then we sealed cracks and joints with NexusPro®, a waterproof sealant designed to protect against future erosion and freeze-thaw damage.

Now the walkways and patios are safer, smoother, and ready for everyday use—with minimal disruption to residents and no demolition required.

Before:

This homeowner in Fond du Lac, WI had a sidewalk that had become uneven and sunken over time, creating a noticeable trip hazard leading up to the home. Some sections had settled more than others, making the walkway unsafe and allowing water to collect in low spots after rain.

Like many sidewalks in Wisconsin, years of freeze/thaw cycles and shifting soil conditions had caused the concrete to sink and separate.

After:

Instead of tearing out and replacing the sidewalk, our team repaired it using PolyLevel® concrete lifting foam.

PolyLevel was injected beneath the sunken slabs to fill empty spaces under the concrete and carefully lift the sidewalk back into position. The lightweight expanding foam stabilized the soil below while restoring the walkway to a safer, more even surface.

Now the sidewalk is:
✔️ Level
✔️ Safer to walk on
✔️ Better supported underneath
✔️ Improved for proper drainage

The homeowner was able to restore the appearance and safety of the sidewalk without the mess, downtime, or expense of full concrete replacement.

Before The driveway and front walkway at this Fond du Lac, WI home had experienced noticeable settlement, causing uneven concrete slabs and separation near the entrance to the home. The shifting concrete created tripping hazards along the walkway and made portions of the driveway uneven for vehicle traffic. Water was also beginning to collect in low areas after rain and snowmelt, a common issue for homeowners searching for concrete leveling, concrete lifting contractor services, and concrete driveway repair throughout Fond du Lac County.
The homeowner wanted to restore the existing concrete without the cost and disruption of full replacement while avoiding older mudjacking methods that can place additional weight beneath already unstable soils.

After Sure-Dry lifted and stabilized the settled driveway and walkway using PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam. The expanding foam was injected beneath the affected slabs to fill underlying voids and carefully raise the concrete back toward its original position. Unlike traditional mudjacking or slab jacking techniques that use heavier grout materials, PolyLevel provides a lightweight concrete lifting solution that cures quickly and delivers precise slab stabilization with minimal disruption to the property.
The completed repair improved both safety and curb appeal while helping protect the driveway and entry walkway from additional settlement caused by Wisconsin freeze-thaw cycles.
