Sure-Dry Before & After Photos

Before

An older ranch home in Kaukauna, WI had several exterior concrete sections that had settled over time, creating uneven surfaces around the driveway, front walkway, and concrete steps leading into the home. The homeowner noticed trip hazards developing near the walkway to the front door, along with visible separation between slabs caused by seasonal freeze-thaw cycles and long-term soil movement common throughout Northeast Wisconsin. Concerns about safety, water drainage, and curb appeal led them to contact a trusted concrete lifting contractor for a long-term solution instead of full concrete replacement.

The aging slabs showed classic signs of settlement often associated with sinking concrete near older homes in town, where soil washout and compaction can occur beneath exterior flatwork. Uneven concrete can worsen during heavy rain and snowmelt seasons, especially around driveways and entry points where water naturally collects. The homeowner wanted a concrete leveling solution that would stabilize the slabs while improving the appearance and safety of the property without the mess and downtime associated with traditional mudjacking or slab jacking methods.

After
Sure-Dry installed the PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam beneath the settled driveway, walkway, and concrete steps to carefully lift and level the affected slabs. Once the concrete surfaces were restored to proper position, the crew applied NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to seal joints and gaps, helping protect the concrete from future water intrusion and soil erosion. This concrete leveling approach provided a fast-curing, minimally invasive repair designed to restore both safety and appearance around the home.

Unlike traditional mudjacking, which uses heavier cement-based materials that can add stress to unstable soils, PolyLevel uses lightweight expanding foam that fills voids beneath the slab while delivering long-lasting support. The repaired driveway and entry walkway now provide a smoother, safer walking surface while helping reduce future settlement concerns around the older ranch home.
