Before & After Photos

Before
A homeowner in Green Bay, WI began noticing their concrete driveway had developed multiple cracks along with uneven, sunken sections that created both safety concerns and poor drainage. Water would collect in low areas during rain and snowmelt, accelerating deterioration—common in Wisconsin’s freeze-thaw climate. Homeowners dealing with these issues often search for concrete lifting Wisconsin, concrete leveling contractor, or concrete sealer near me as the slab continues to shift. During the inspection, our System Design Specialist identified voids beneath the driveway caused by soil washout and compaction loss, confirmed through elevation measurements that revealed uneven settlement across the slab.

Traditional mudjacking—an older slab jacking method—was considered but not recommended due to its heavy material, reduced precision, and potential to further compress unstable soils. The homeowner needed a modern concrete repair approach that would provide accurate lifting and long-term stability without adding excess weight beneath the driveway.

After
To restore the driveway, our team installed PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam beneath the slab, injecting the lightweight foam through small drill holes to fill voids and lift the concrete back to a level position with precision. Once stabilized, all cracks and joints were sealed using NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to prevent water infiltration and protect against future damage caused by Wisconsin’s freeze-thaw cycles. Compared to mudjacking, PolyLevel offers a faster cure time, minimal disruption, and long-term performance without adding unnecessary weight to the soil.

The driveway is now level, sealed, and structurally supported, improving both safety and drainage.

The homeowner now has a smooth, even driveway with long-term protection against cracking and settlement.

Before: A homeowner in Green Bay, WI had a small backyard concrete patio and walkway leading to the pool that had started sinking and shifting over the years. The patio slabs had become uneven in spots, and the walkway heading toward the pool area had developed noticeable low sections that made it awkward to walk across barefoot during the summer months. Water was also starting to sit in some of the settled areas after rain, which only continued making the problem worse through Northeast Wisconsin’s freeze-thaw seasons.

Like many homes around Brown County, the soil beneath the concrete had slowly settled over time from changing moisture conditions and seasonal ground movement. The homeowner wanted to fix the uneven concrete around the backyard and pool area without tearing everything out and starting over.

After: Sure-Dry used PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to lift and stabilize the backyard patio and walkway leading to the pool. By injecting the foam beneath the slabs, the crew was able to fill the empty spaces underneath and carefully raise the settled concrete back closer to level. Compared to traditional mudjacking methods, PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam is lightweight, cures quickly, and works especially well for smaller patio and poolside concrete areas where precise lifting is important.
Once the project was complete, the backyard patio and pool walkway looked much cleaner and more even, and the homeowner no longer had to deal with the awkward low spots and uneven transitions around the pool area. The lifting also helped improve drainage and reduce standing water along the concrete surfaces.

The stability of any concrete surface is dependent on the soils beneath it. The weight of concrete and what it supports, combined with natural soil erosion, can lead to sunken and uneven concrete surfaces and dangerous cracks, like this commercial concrete walkway in Bellevue, WI.  

To lift and level concrete surfaces, Sure-Dry Basement Systems uses their patented PolyLevel® 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.

To repair cracks in concrete surfaces, Sure-Dry uses a breakthrough technology only available at Sure-Dry called NexusPro.  NexusPro is a silicone-based sealant for joints and cracks specially formulated to provide long-lasting flexibility and to stand up to harsh weather conditions. Unlike traditional polyurethane sealants, NexusPro resists UV rays, which means it won't crack, bubble or dry out. That means a single application can seal the joints and cracks in your concrete driveway, patio, pool deck or sidewalk for years to come, protecting it from damage caused by soil compaction and washout.

The sidewalk leading up to the entrance of this home had sunk almost 8" from where it should have been, causing a trip hazard and making it hard to use the front porch. Sure-Dry permanently lifted and leveled the sidewalk back up to its original position using our PolyLevel Foam Injection System.
