Sunken Sidewalk Lifted and Leveled in Oconto, WI
Before A homeowner in Oconto, WI, had a sidewalk leading up to the house that had settled over time, leaving uneven concrete slabs along a frequently used path to the home. Soil erosion and seasonal moisture changes beneath exterior concrete can create voids that allow slabs to sink, while Wisconsin's freeze-thaw cycles can make the problem worse. The uneven walkway created a potential tripping hazard and led the homeowner to look for a concrete lifting company that could restore the existing sidewalk rather than replace it. Sure-Dry provides PolyLevel concrete leveling for sidewalks and other settled slabs throughout Oconto County.
After Sure-Dry used PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to fill voids beneath the affected sidewalk slabs and carefully lift the concrete back into proper alignment. The crew then applied NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to the joints and cracks, helping limit water infiltration and future soil erosion beneath the walkway. Unlike traditional mudjacking, which pumps a heavier cement-based slurry beneath concrete, PolyLevel uses lightweight polyurethane foam and requires only small injection holes to perform controlled concrete leveling.
The homeowner now has a smoother, more stable sidewalk and a safer approach to the house.

Settling Slab-on-Grade Home is Lifted and Leveled in Oconto, WI
Before A homeowner in Oconto, WI, noticed concerning gaps beginning to form between the walls and concrete floor in two rooms along one side of their slab-on-grade home. These separations indicated that portions of the concrete slab were settling as support beneath the floor was being lost. Soil shrinkage, settlement, and erosion can create hidden voids beneath a slab foundation, allowing the concrete to move downward while the walls remain in place. Sure-Dry has addressed this type of slab-on-grade settlement in Oconto County using PolyLevel to fill underlying voids and stabilize the concrete.
After Sure-Dry used PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam beneath the affected areas of the home's concrete slab. The expanding polyurethane foam filled the hidden voids, reestablished support beneath the floor, and allowed the settled concrete to be carefully lifted toward its proper elevation. Unlike traditional mudjacking or slab jacking, which uses a much heavier cement-based material, PolyLevel provides a lightweight solution specifically capable of lifting and stabilizing slab foundations.
The homeowner now has improved support beneath the affected side of the home and a stabilized concrete floor, addressing the settlement that had caused gaps to develop between the floors and walls.

Cracked Garage Floor Repaired in Oconto, WI
Before A homeowner had a garage floor that had settled and developed cracks, creating uneven areas throughout a space used to store a vintage car. With a vehicle they cared about parked in the garage, the homeowner wanted to correct the concrete settlement and protect the floor without the disruption of tearing out and replacing the existing slab. Voids caused by soil settlement or erosion beneath garage floors can leave concrete unsupported, eventually contributing to cracking and movement. Sure-Dry has successfully used PolyLevel and NexusPro together to address these conditions in Wisconsin garage floors.
After Sure-Dry installed PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam beneath the affected garage floor to fill underlying voids and carefully lift and stabilize the concrete. The crew then applied NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to the cracks and joints to help reduce water infiltration beneath the slab. Unlike traditional mudjacking, which places a heavier cement-based slurry beneath the concrete, PolyLevel uses lightweight expanding polyurethane foam and allows for controlled lifting with small injection points.
The homeowner now has a more stable, even garage floor and a better-protected space for storing and enjoying their vintage car.

Crawl Space Vapor Barrier Encapsulation & Sump Pump Installation in Oconto, WI
Before A homeowner in Oconto, WI, was dealing with a damp crawl space where ground moisture and incoming water were creating ongoing concerns beneath the home. Without proper encapsulation, moisture from exposed soil can increase humidity, contribute to musty conditions, and affect the environment throughout the home. The homeowner contacted Sure-Dry for crawl space repair that would address both moisture entering through the ground and water collecting beneath the home. Crawl space moisture and vapor-barrier concerns are among the issues homeowners in Oconto have contacted Sure-Dry about.
After Sure-Dry installed the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System across the crawl space floor and up the foundation walls, creating a continuous barrier between the home and moisture below. A SmartSump Crawl Space Sump Pump System was also installed to collect groundwater and discharge it away from the home. SmartSump is specifically designed to integrate with the CleanSpace system and includes an alarm to alert the homeowner to water in the sump area.
The homeowner now has a cleaner, drier crawl space with a complete system in place to manage both ground moisture and incoming water.

Musty, Damp Crawl Space and Floor Joists Repaired & Stabilized in Oconto, WI
Before A homeowner in Oconto, WI, was dealing with a damp, unsealed crawl space along with inadequate support beneath the floors above. Moisture entering through exposed ground can create humid conditions that contribute to musty odors and deterioration of wooden structural components, while weakened or inadequate crawl space supports can lead to sagging, uneven, or bouncy floors. The homeowner contacted Sure-Dry for crawl space repair that would address both moisture control and structural support. Sure-Dry provides crawl space encapsulation and repair services throughout Oconto.
After Sure-Dry installed the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System to encapsulate the crawl space and isolate the home from ground moisture. The crew also installed SmartJack Structural Support System posts beneath the affected floor framing to provide adjustable supplemental support for the joists and beams above. SmartJack posts are designed specifically for sagging crawl spaces and can often help lift failing floor joists or beams toward their original position.
The homeowner now has a cleaner, drier crawl space with improved structural support beneath the floors above.
