Before & After Photos

Before A homeowner in Three Lakes, WI had a settled and uneven concrete garage apron where the driveway meets the garage. Soil settlement beneath the slab had caused sections of concrete to sink, creating an uneven transition at the garage entrance and areas where water could work beneath the concrete. With the freeze-thaw cycles common throughout Wisconsin’s Northwoods, restoring support beneath the slab and limiting future water infiltration were important parts of the concrete repair.
After Sure-Dry used PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to fill voids beneath the garage apron and carefully lift the settled concrete toward its proper position. Unlike mudjacking, which uses a heavy cement-based slurry, PolyLevel uses lightweight expanding polyurethane foam that requires smaller injection holes, provides precise lifting control, and adds significantly less weight to the underlying soils. Sure-Dry then applied NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to applicable joints and cracks to help prevent water from reaching the soils beneath the repaired slab.
The homeowner now has a more level and stable garage apron with a smoother transition into the garage and added protection against water infiltration.

Before A homeowner in Three Lakes, WI had settled and uneven concrete affecting both the garage apron and the walkway running around the edge of the home. Soil settlement beneath the slabs had created uneven transitions and areas where water could work beneath the concrete, potentially contributing to additional movement. With the freeze-thaw cycles and changing soil conditions common throughout Wisconsin’s Northwoods, the homeowner needed concrete lifting that could restore the slabs without the disruption and added weight associated with traditional mudjacking.
After Sure-Dry used PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to fill voids beneath the garage apron and walkway and carefully lift the settled concrete toward its proper position. Mudjacking, sometimes called slab jacking, uses a heavy cement-based slurry to raise settled concrete. PolyLevel instead uses lightweight expanding polyurethane foam injected through small holes in the slab, providing precise lifting control while adding significantly less weight to the underlying soils.
The homeowner now has a more level and stable garage apron and walkway, creating smoother transitions and safer access around the home.

Before:
A homeowner in Kewaskum had a settled front walkway and stoop. The slabs had dropped at the house and near the steps, creating toe-stubbing edges, uneven step heights, and gaps where water and road salt leaked beneath the concrete.

After:
We injected PolyLevel® beneath the walkway and stoop to fill voids and lift the concrete back to a smooth, properly pitched approach. We then sealed joints and cracks with NexusPro®, installing backer where needed and finishing with color-match sand for a clean look.

The entry is now level with consistent step heights, improved drainage away from the home, and sealed joints to help prevent future settlement.

Before: A homeowner in Kewaskum, WI reached out after noticing their garage apron and adjoining walkway had settled several inches, creating uneven surfaces and tripping hazards. Over time, soil washout and voids beneath the concrete caused the slabs to sink and pull away from the foundation.

After: Our team used the PolyLevel® Concrete Lifting System to inject a high-density expanding foam beneath the affected slabs. The material filled the voids and gently lifted the concrete back to its proper level.

The repair was completed quickly with no mess or downtime, restoring a safe, even surface and a clean appearance around the garage.

The causes of concrete settlement and sinking are the same whether it's a driveway, walkway, patio, garage floor, or pool deck. As soil underneath a concrete slab shrinks, settles or washes away, this leaves empty space, or voids, beneath the slab. With the soil no longer supporting the slab, the concrete will sink, creating an uneven surface.  This was the case for the concrete walkway of this home in Malone, WI.  

To lift and level this home's walway, Sure-Dry Basement Systems installed their PolyLevel® Injection Foam system.  PolyLevel® is an expanding polyurethane foam that is injected beneath the concrete to fill the gaps caused by soil erosion and raise and stabilize the concrete surface.
