Sure-Dry Case Studies: Severely Sunken Driveway & Sidewalk Lifted Over Six Inches in Kaukauna, WI
Challenge
The concrete around this home in Kaukauna, WI was suffering from severe sinking around the garage, driveway, and sidewalks. It was causing issues for the homeowner from tripping and falling to overall appearance. The soil in front of the garage and sidewalk had washed away due to water getting under the concrete and had resulted in visible voids under the sidewalk. This over time, caused the concrete by the garage to to sink 6 ½”!
Solution
In order to lift and level the sunken concrete, Sure-Dry applied their PolyLevel Injection Foam. PolyLevel is an expanding polyurethane foam that is injected beneath the concrete to fill the gaps caused by soil erosion and raise and stabilize the concrete surface.
To fix the cracking concrete, Sure-Dry applied their NexusPro solution. NexusPro is a silicone-based sealant for joints and cracks specially formulated to provide long-lasting flexibility and to stand up to harsh weather conditions. Unlike traditional polyurethane sealants, NexusPro resists UV rays, which means it won't crack, bubble, or dry out. That means a single application can seal the joints and cracks in your concrete driveway, patio, pool deck, or sidewalk for years to come, protecting it from damage caused by soil compaction and washout. The homeowner who previously thought that the concrete wouldn't be able to be fixed and would need to be replaced was thrilled with the results that saved him time and money!
