Before
Older concrete around this New London, WI home had experienced years of settlement, leaving several driveway slabs and the concrete near a frequently used side entrance noticeably sunken. The uneven transitions created bumps and trip hazards while also affecting how smoothly the homeowner could travel between the driveway and side door.
As concrete ages, the condition of the soil underneath becomes especially important. Wisconsin's seasonal moisture changes and repeated freeze-thaw cycles can cause supporting soils to shrink, settle or erode. Once voids develop beneath a slab, the weight of the concrete can cause it to sink even though the concrete itself may still be in good enough condition to save.
After
Rather than removing and replacing the older concrete, Sure-Dry used PolyLevel® to lift and stabilize the affected slabs. Small injection holes were strategically drilled through the driveway and side entrance concrete, allowing lightweight polyurethane to be injected into the voids below.
As PolyLevel expanded, it filled those empty spaces and provided controlled lifting pressure to bring the sunken slabs closer to their proper positions. Compared with traditional mudjacking, PolyLevel requires smaller injection holes, adds significantly less weight to already-compromised soils and cures quickly.
The repair improved the uneven transitions throughout the driveway and near the side entrance while allowing the homeowner to keep their existing concrete instead of replacing slabs that still had useful life remaining.
