Sunken Unsafe Concrete Driveway Repaired Using Poly Level Foam in Menasha, WI

Before
A homeowner in Menasha, WI contacted Sure-Dry after noticing multiple areas of their concrete had settled, including the driveway, sidewalk, and front entrance steps. The uneven surfaces created gaps between slabs, visible cracking, and hazardous trip points, especially near the steps leading into the home. With Wisconsin’s freeze-thaw cycles and shifting soils, these issues are common and often worsen over time, making this a clear need for concrete lifting and concrete leveling.

The homeowner was concerned about both safety and long-term damage, as water was beginning to collect in the low areas and work its way into the joints. They were actively searching for a trusted concrete lifting company and contractor to restore the surfaces and prevent further deterioration.

After
Our team addressed the issue using PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to lift and level the settled slabs across the driveway, sidewalk, and front entrance. The foam was injected through small, precise holes, expanding beneath the concrete to raise it back into position while stabilizing the underlying soil.

To complete the repair and protect the surfaces moving forward, we applied NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to all joints and cracks. This flexible sealant prevents water intrusion, which is critical in reducing future soil washout and maintaining long-term stability.

Unlike traditional mudjacking (or slab jacking), which uses a heavier material that can contribute to additional settling, PolyLevel is lightweight, cures quickly, and provides a more durable solution. Combined with NexusPro, this approach delivers both structural correction and long-term protection for concrete step repair and concrete floor repair needs.

The result is a clean, level, and safer entryway and surrounding surfaces, giving the homeowner confidence and improved curb appeal.

The homeowner now has a stable, protected concrete surface that’s built to handle Wisconsin’s conditions moving forward.

Concrete Sidewalk Leveling & Sealing in Menasha, WI

Before
A homeowner in Menasha, WI reached out to Sure-Dry after noticing their sidewalk had begun to settle unevenly, creating dips, cracks, and separation between slabs. The uneven surface not only impacted curb appeal but also created potential trip hazards and drainage issues. In this part of Wisconsin, freeze-thaw cycles and soil movement are common causes, making concrete lifting and concrete leveling a frequent need for homeowners.

As the driveway continued to shift, water began collecting in the low areas and working its way into the joints, increasing the risk of soil washout beneath the slab. The homeowner was searching for a reliable concrete lifting company and contractor to correct the issue before it worsened.

After
Our team restored the driveway using PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to lift and level the settled concrete. By injecting the expanding foam beneath the slabs through small, precise holes, we were able to raise the driveway back to its proper position while stabilizing the underlying soil.

To further protect the driveway, we applied NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to seal all joints and cracks. This flexible sealant prevents water from penetrating beneath the concrete, helping reduce future movement and extending the life of the repair.

Unlike traditional mudjacking (also known as slab jacking), which uses a heavier material that can contribute to additional settling over time, PolyLevel is lightweight, cures quickly, and provides long-term stability. Combined with NexusPro, this solution delivers both structural correction and long-term protection for concrete floor repair needs.

The driveway is now level, sealed, and safe for daily use.
The homeowner can confidently rely on a stable, protected surface built to handle Wisconsin’s changing conditions.

Sunken Concrete Driveway Repaired by Contractor in Menasha, WI

Before: A homeowner in Menasha, WI contacted Sure-Dry after noticing sections of their concrete driveway and front walkway had become uneven due to both sinking and heaving concrete. The shifting slabs created tripping hazards near the front entrance and caused water to collect in low areas throughout the driveway during rain and snowmelt. Like many homes throughout Winnebago County and the Fox Valley region, repeated freeze-thaw cycles and changing soil moisture conditions beneath the slabs had caused the concrete to rise and settle unevenly over time. The homeowner was searching for a concrete lifting company and concrete leveling contractor that could restore the existing concrete without the cost and disruption of replacement.
Traditional mudjacking, also referred to as slab jacking, can place additional weight on already unstable soils and often requires larger drill holes throughout the slab surface. The homeowner wanted a long-lasting concrete floor repair and concrete step repair solution that would improve safety, drainage, and curb appeal around the property.

After: Sure-Dry inspected the driveway and front walkway and identified multiple settlement areas and elevation changes beneath the concrete slabs. To restore the affected surfaces, the crew installed PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam beneath the settled sections to carefully lift and stabilize the concrete back into position. Unlike traditional mudjacking methods, PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam is lightweight, cures quickly, and helps reduce additional stress on weakened soils beneath the slab. Once the lifting process was completed, the joints and cracks were sealed using NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to help reduce future water intrusion and soil washout beneath the driveway and walkway.
The completed repair restored a safer and more uniform concrete surface while helping protect the slabs against continued movement common throughout Menasha and the Fox Valley area.

Before: A homeowner in Menasha, WI noticed settlement developing across multiple exterior concrete areas around the property, including the driveway, covered concrete porch, sidewalks, and walkways extending around the home and through the front yard toward the road. Uneven slabs and separating joints had started creating tripping hazards and drainage concerns, while also impacting the overall appearance of the property. Exterior concrete settlement like this is common throughout Wisconsin due to changing soil conditions, moisture movement, and seasonal freeze-thaw cycles beneath the slabs.
After: Our Sure-Dry team restored the settled concrete using PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to carefully lift and stabilize the affected slabs throughout the property. We also sealed the joints and cracks using NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to help reduce water intrusion beneath the concrete surfaces. Unlike traditional mudjacking or slab jacking methods, PolyLevel uses lightweight expanding foam that cures quickly and provides precise lifting control without adding additional weight below the slabs.

Sunken Concrete Driveway Repair in Menasha, WI

Before

Over time, the concrete driveway and front walkway at this Menasha, WI home had settled due to soil movement beneath the slabs and years of Wisconsin freeze-thaw cycles. The uneven driveway made pulling into the garage less smooth, while the walkway leading to the front steps had developed noticeable height differences that created tripping hazards. During the inspection, our Design Specialist identified areas of settlement and recommended PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to lift and stabilize the existing concrete rather than replacing it. Unlike traditional mudjacking, PolyLevel is lightweight, waterproof, cures in about 15 minutes, and fills underlying voids for a more precise, long-lasting repair. Once the slabs were restored, NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant was recommended to seal joints and help prevent water from washing away supporting soils beneath the concrete.

After

The driveway and front walkway were carefully lifted back into alignment, restoring a safer, more attractive entrance to the home. Using PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam allowed our crew to accurately raise the settled slabs while minimizing disruption to the property. The repaired joints were then sealed with NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to reduce future water infiltration and soil erosion beneath the concrete. The homeowner now enjoys improved curb appeal, a smoother transition into the garage, and a much safer walkway leading to the front steps—all completed in less than a day.
