Sure-Dry Before & After Photos

Before
A homeowner in Stevens Point, WI reached out to Sure-Dry after noticing their concrete patio at the front of the home had begun to settle unevenly. The slab had developed visible dips and cracks, creating an unlevel surface that affected both appearance and usability. With Central Wisconsin’s freeze-thaw cycles and shifting soils, patios like this are especially prone to settling, making concrete lifting and concrete leveling a common need.

As the issue progressed, water began pooling in the low areas and seeping into the joints, increasing the risk of further soil erosion beneath the slab. The homeowner was looking for a reliable concrete lifting company and contractor to restore the patio before the damage worsened.

After
Our team used PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to lift and level the settled patio slab. By drilling small, precise holes and injecting the expanding foam beneath the concrete, we were able to raise the slab back to its original position while stabilizing the underlying soil.

To complete the repair and protect the patio long-term, we applied NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to all joints and cracks. This flexible sealant helps prevent water intrusion, reducing the likelihood of future washout and movement.

Unlike traditional mudjacking (also known as slab jacking), which uses a heavier material that can contribute to additional settling over time, PolyLevel is lightweight, cures quickly, and provides long-term stability. Combined with NexusPro, this solution delivers both structural correction and long-term protection.

The patio is now level, sealed, and safe for everyday use.
The homeowner now has a stable and visually improved outdoor space built to handle Wisconsin’s changing conditions.

Before

The homeowner in Stevens Point, WI contacted Sure-Dry after noticing multiple concrete surfaces around the property were beginning to sink and separate. The driveway, garage apron, and front cement steps had settled unevenly over time, creating visible height differences, cracking, and potential tripping hazards. Water was no longer draining properly in certain areas, increasing concerns about further settlement and deterioration. Homeowners searching for concrete lifting, concrete leveling, or concrete step repair services often experience these same issues as supporting soils shift beneath exterior concrete slabs.

As the settlement continued, the homeowner became concerned about both safety and curb appeal. Rather than replacing otherwise structurally sound concrete, they wanted a long-lasting solution that would restore the affected areas while minimizing disruption to their property.

After

Following a detailed inspection, the Sure-Dry team recommended lifting and stabilizing the settled concrete using PolyLevel® High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam and sealing the joints and cracks with NexusPro® Concrete Joint Sealant. PolyLevel is an advanced alternative to traditional mudjacking, also known as slab jacking, which relies on a heavy cement slurry to raise concrete. Unlike mudjacking, PolyLevel is lightweight, cures quickly, requires smaller injection holes, and helps provide precise, long-lasting results. NexusPro was applied to help protect the repaired concrete from future moisture intrusion and joint deterioration.

The driveway, garage apron, and front cement steps were carefully lifted back toward their intended position, creating safer transitions and improving the overall appearance of the home. The completed concrete lifting and concrete leveling project restored functionality to the affected areas while helping protect the concrete from future settlement and weather-related damage.

Check out how we buried this downspout, tunneling it beneath a sidewalk! This not only looks nicer, but will help eliminate water going over the sidewalk which creates a mess, and causes a slipping hazard in colder months!

The Everlast Finished Wall Restoration System was utilized to seal and restore these previously finished basement walls that had suffered water damage from a leaking egress window. After proper window drainage and sump pump were installed, the wall panels were put up to finish the basement and prevent future water damage.The homeowner was thrilled that her water issues had been taken care of, and her basement looked nice and was usable again.

If your basement has been finished with drywall, it could be seriously damaged during a flood. Once drywall is damaged by water, mold is not far behind. However, in many cases, it's only the bottom of the walls that need replacing. We can repair your damaged basement walls permanently with our Everlast Finished Wall Restoration System.
