Sure-Dry Before & After Photos

Before:
At this home in Wrightstown, WI, the front sidewalk had sunk several inches over time, creating a large step up at the front porch. Not only was it difficult to walk on, but it had become a serious trip hazard for anyone coming to the front door.

Like many concrete surfaces in Wisconsin, shifting soils and years of freeze/thaw cycles had caused the slabs to settle unevenly. Water was also getting underneath the concrete through open joints, continuing to wash out the soil below and making the problem worse.

After:
Instead of tearing out and replacing the sidewalk, our team repaired it using PolyLevel® concrete lifting foam and NexusPro® joint sealant.

We carefully lifted the sunken sidewalk back into position using PolyLevel, a lightweight expanding foam that fills voids beneath the slab and stabilizes the soil underneath. Once everything was level again, we sealed the joints and cracks with NexusPro to help prevent future water intrusion and settlement.

Now the sidewalk is:
✔️Level with the front porch
✔️ Safe and easy to walk on
✔️ Protected from future washout and settling

The homeowner was able to restore the appearance and safety of their front entryway without the mess, cost, or downtime of replacing the concrete.

Before: A homeowner in Wrightstown, WI contacted Sure-Dry after noticing the concrete walkway leading to the front door had become uneven and settled over time. The shifting slabs created tripping hazards near the front entrance and allowed water to collect along portions of the walkway 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 walkway without the expense and disruption of replacement.Traditional mudjacking, also referred to as slab jacking, can place additional weight on unstable soils and often requires larger drill holes throughout the slab surface. The homeowner wanted a long-lasting concrete step repair solution that would improve safety, drainage, and curb appeal around the front entrance.

After: Sure-Dry inspected the walkway leading to the front door and identified several settlement areas beneath the concrete slabs. To restore the surface, 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 walkway.The completed repair restored a safer and more stable walking surface while helping protect the concrete against continued settlement common throughout Wrightstown and Northeast Wisconsin.

Before A homeowner in Wrightstown, WI wanted to make their basement safer, brighter, and better suited for usable living space. The existing basement window was too small to provide adequate natural light or a safe emergency exit. A properly designed egress window installation was needed to create a larger opening while protecting the foundation from water intrusion and Wisconsin’s seasonal moisture conditions. Sure-Dry has completed similar egress window projects in Wrightstown to address these same safety, light, and basement-finishing concerns.
After Sure-Dry installed a code-compliant Egress Window System, including a properly sized basement window and durable exterior window well. The installation required excavation alongside the foundation, precisely cutting a new opening through the concrete foundation wall, and carefully sealing the window assembly against moisture. Drainage stone was installed at the base of the well to help manage water and provide long-term protection around the new opening. The completed egress window provides significantly more natural light along with an accessible emergency exit.
The homeowner now has a brighter, safer, and more functional basement with an egress window designed for long-term performance.

Before: A homeowner in Wrightstown, WI had a concrete driveway and walkway leading to the front entrance that had become uneven due to settling. Sections of the concrete had sunk, creating uneven transitions and potential tripping hazards. Cracks and open joints also allowed water to reach the soil beneath the slabs, potentially contributing to further settlement.

After: Sure-Dry used PolyLevel to lift and stabilize the settled driveway and front walkway, helping restore more even concrete surfaces. Our crew also applied NexusPro to seal cracks and joints, helping prevent water from penetrating beneath the concrete. Unlike traditional mudjacking, PolyLevel uses lightweight polyurethane foam, requires smaller injection holes, and cures quickly. Together, these repairs improved the safety, stability, and appearance of the driveway and walkway without requiring complete concrete replacement.

Before: A homeowner in Wrightstown, WI had a concrete patio located beneath a second-story deck at the rear of their home that had settled over time. The uneven concrete created an unattractive surface and potential tripping hazards in an area used for outdoor relaxation and entertaining. Cracks and open joints also allowed water to penetrate beneath the patio, potentially contributing to additional soil erosion and settlement.

After: Sure-Dry used PolyLevel to carefully lift and stabilize the settled patio, restoring a more even surface beneath the elevated deck. Our crew also applied NexusPro to seal cracks and joints, helping prevent water from reaching the soil beneath the concrete. Unlike traditional mudjacking, PolyLevel uses lightweight polyurethane foam, requires smaller injection holes, and cures quickly. Together, these repairs improved the patio's stability, safety, and appearance without requiring complete concrete replacement.
