Before:
At this home in Appleton, WI, the concrete driveway had severely settled and cracked, creating uneven surfaces, trip hazards, and poor drainage. Water was beginning to collect in low spots and seep into the cracks—slowly washing out the soil underneath and making the problem worse over time.
Like many Wisconsin homes, freeze/thaw cycles and shifting soils had taken their toll, leaving the driveway not only unsightly but at risk for further damage.
After:
To permanently restore the driveway, our team used a combination of PolyLevel® concrete lifting and NexusPro® crack and joint sealant.
The result is a smooth, level, and durable driveway with improved drainage and long-term protection.
Before
This Appleton, WI homeowner had a concrete driveway that wrapped around into the front walkway and steps leading to the main entrance. Over time, several sections had settled, creating uneven transitions, trip hazards, and gaps between the concrete slabs. During our inspection, we identified multiple areas where soil erosion beneath the concrete had created voids, allowing the slabs to sink. Like many homes in northeastern Wisconsin, repeated freeze-thaw cycles and changing soil moisture had accelerated the settlement. Rather than replacing the concrete, we recommended repairing it with PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam and NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant. Unlike traditional mudjacking, PolyLevel is lightweight, waterproof, cures in minutes, and won't place additional weight on the supporting soils.
After
Our crew carefully measured the elevation of each slab and injected PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam beneath the driveway, front walkway, and entry steps to precisely lift and level each section. Once the concrete was restored to a safe, uniform height, we sealed the joints and cracks with NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to help keep water from reaching the soils beneath the slabs. The homeowner now has a safer, more attractive entrance to their home with smooth transitions from the driveway to the front steps and a long-lasting repair designed to withstand Wisconsin's harsh climate.

Several concrete slabs around Lawrence University in Appleton had settled and shifted, creating noticeable trip hazards along walkways and building entry points. The uneven joints weren’t just unsightly—they posed safety concerns for students, staff, and visitors.
Sure-Dry used PolyLevel® expanding foam to gently and precisely lift the sunken slabs, restoring an even walking surface across the problem areas. Once lifted, we applied NexusPro® joint and crack sealant to permanently seal gaps and prevent water from getting underneath the concrete—helping prevent future settling.
The result? A safer, cleaner, and more professional-looking campus surface—completed quickly and with minimal disruption.
After decades of Wisconsin weather, the concrete around this Black Creek home—including the garage apron, sidewalk, and driveway—had settled and cracked. Slabs were uneven, joints were deteriorating, and the surface was beginning to show signs of water infiltration and erosion. The homeowner wanted to fix it before the damage got worse—and avoid a full replacement.
Our team at Sure-Dry lifted the sunken sections using PolyLevel®, a high-density polyurethane foam that fills voids and raises concrete back to its original position with minimal disruption. We then sealed the cracks and joints using NexusPro®, a flexible, UV-resistant sealant that keeps water and debris out to help prevent future shifting and cracking.
The result? A safer, cleaner-looking, and longer-lasting concrete surface—without the cost and hassle of tearing it all out.
