Before
The homeowner in Appleton, WI was dealing with significant settlement across a large concrete driveway, the walkway leading to the front entrance, and the front concrete steps. Uneven slabs, sunken sections, and widening joints had created noticeable tripping hazards while allowing water to collect in low areas. Over time, moisture infiltration beneath the concrete can wash away supporting soils and contribute to further settlement. Many homeowners facing these issues compare modern concrete lifting methods to mudjacking, a traditional slab jacking process that uses a heavy grout mixture to raise settled concrete.
After
Sure-Dry restored the driveway, walkway, and front steps using PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam. The lightweight foam was strategically injected beneath the affected concrete to fill voids, stabilize the base, and carefully lift the slabs and steps back toward their intended position. Once the concrete leveling process was completed, NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant was applied to seal cracks and joints, helping prevent future water intrusion beneath the concrete. Unlike mudjacking, PolyLevel cures quickly, requires smaller injection holes, adds less weight to underlying soils, and provides a long-lasting solution for homeowners seeking professional concrete lifting, concrete leveling, and concrete step repair services in Outagamie County.
