Before
A homeowner in De Pere, WI reached out to Sure-Dry after noticing their concrete walkway leading to the front steps had settled unevenly. The slabs had shifted over time, creating noticeable height differences and trip hazards along the path. With frequent foot traffic and Wisconsin’s freeze-thaw cycles, the problem had continued to worsen, making it both a safety concern and an issue impacting the home’s curb appeal. This is a common example of concrete lifting and concrete leveling needs in the area.

The homeowner was looking for a reliable concrete lifting company and contractor to restore the walkway before the damage progressed further or caused injury. They also wanted a solution that would be quick, effective, and long-lasting.

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

Unlike traditional mudjacking (also known as slab jacking), which uses a heavier material that can add stress to already shifting soils, PolyLevel is lightweight, cures quickly, and provides a more durable, long-term solution. This method is ideal for concrete step repair and walkway stabilization, especially in climates like Wisconsin where soil movement is common.

The walkway is now level, stable, and safe for daily use, restoring both function and appearance while giving the homeowner confidence moving forward.

The homeowner can now safely access their front steps without concern, knowing the walkway is properly supported and built to last.

Before: A homeowner in De Pere, WI contacted Sure-Dry after noticing sections of their concrete driveway and walkway had become uneven and settled over time. 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 Brown County and Northeast Wisconsin, repeated freeze-thaw cycles and changing soil conditions beneath the slabs had caused the concrete to crack and sink. The homeowner was searching for a concrete lifting company and concrete leveling contractor that could restore the existing concrete without the expense 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 walkway and identified multiple settlement areas beneath the affected concrete slabs. To restore the surfaces, the crew installed PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam beneath the settled sections to carefully lift and level 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 prevent 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 settlement common throughout De Pere and Northeast Wisconsin.
