Sure-Dry Before & After Photos

Before: Sunken Concrete, Trip Hazards, and Frustration

In Greenville, WI, a homeowner was struggling with a large concrete driveway and adjoining walkway that had begun to sink and settle unevenly. Over time, the slabs had shifted several inches, creating:

• Unsightly gaps and cracks

• Trip hazards along the walkway

• Water pooling near the foundation

Aside from being a safety issue, the uneven driveway made snow removal difficult and gave the front of the home a worn, neglected look.

After: A Lifted, Leveled, and Safer Surface

Sure-Dry LLC was called in to lift and level the concrete using our polyurethane injection system, a fast and minimally invasive solution.

In just a few hours, we:

• Lifted the sunken driveway slabs back to their original position

• Re-leveled the walkway to eliminate trip hazards

• Restored the curb appeal and functionality of the entire area

Unlike traditional mudjacking, our polyurethane foam sets quickly, meaning the homeowner could use the surface again that same day.

Now the concrete looks clean, level, and safe—and the homeowner can trust it will stay that way for years to come.

Before:
A homeowner in Greenville, WI was experiencing water intrusion along one basement wall during heavy rains and snowmelt. Although the existing sump pump was functional, the leaking wall caused moisture buildup, staining, and musty odors throughout the space. Seasonal groundwater changes in the Fox Valley area made the issue worse, and the homeowner needed a solution that would protect the wall surface while directing water to their current sump system.
After:
Sure-Dry installed CleanSpace® vapor barrier along the leaking wall to create a sealed, waterproof surface that prevents moisture from entering the basement airspace. A perimeter WaterGuard® drainage system was installed at the wall-floor joint to collect and redirect any incoming water directly into the existing sump pump.
The basement now remains dry, controlled, and properly protected during seasonal groundwater spikes.

Before:
A homeowner in Greenville, WI was dealing with driveway and walkway settlement caused by Fox Valley’s fluctuating groundwater and freeze–thaw conditions. Several slabs had dropped unevenly, creating trip hazards and improper drainage toward the garage. Additionally, open joints and cracks allowed water to penetrate beneath the concrete, accelerating soil washout and further settlement.
After:
Sure-Dry lifted the settled slabs using PolyLevel® to restore proper height and stability. After the lift, joints and cracks were sealed with NexusPro®, a long-lasting, UV-resistant sealant designed to prevent water infiltration and protect the concrete from further damage.
The driveway and walkways are now level, protected, and visually restored for long-term performance.

Before:
A homeowner in Greenville, WI was preparing to remodel their basement but first needed to bring the space up to current safety and egress requirements. The existing basement window was undersized and did not meet escape or rescue code standards. Limited natural light made the basement feel confined, and ventilation was inadequate for a future living space.
After:
Sure-Dry installed a fully code-compliant egress window system by enlarging the wall opening, installing a properly supported window well, and integrating drainage to prevent water buildup. The upgraded window now provides safe emergency exit capability, more natural light, and improved airflow—essential steps before finishing the basement.
The basement is now safer, brighter, and ready for the homeowner’s remodeling project.

Before

The owners of this newer Greenville, WI home began noticing sections of their driveway, back patio, and front walkway settling unevenly over time. While the concrete itself remained in good condition, movement beneath the slabs had created noticeable tripping hazards and uneven transitions throughout the property. These conditions are common in Northeast Wisconsin, where changing moisture levels and seasonal freeze-thaw cycles can cause supporting soils to shift and settle. Concerns like these often lead homeowners to search for concrete lifting, concrete leveling, or concrete step repair solutions before the problem worsens.

During the inspection, a Sure-Dry System Design Specialist identified multiple areas where voids and soil settlement beneath the concrete had allowed the slabs to drop out of alignment. The homeowners wanted to restore the safety and appearance of their outdoor concrete surfaces without the expense and disruption of replacement. Without repairs, the uneven slabs would likely continue to settle, increasing safety concerns and creating additional maintenance challenges around the property.

After

To restore the affected concrete surfaces, Sure-Dry installed PolyLevel® High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam beneath the driveway, back patio, and front walkway slabs. This advanced concrete lifting system is injected through small, pea-sized holes and expands beneath the concrete to fill voids and carefully raise settled sections back toward their proper position. Unlike traditional mudjacking or slab jacking methods that use a heavy cement slurry, PolyLevel is lightweight, cures quickly, and places less stress on the underlying soils. Once the slabs were lifted and stabilized, the team applied NexusPro® Concrete Joint Sealant to seal joints and gaps, helping prevent water intrusion that can contribute to future settlement.

The project eliminated major tripping hazards, improved the appearance of the home's exterior concrete, and restored safer access throughout the property. The homeowners now have a long-lasting concrete leveling solution designed to withstand Wisconsin weather conditions while helping protect their investment for years to come.
