Concrete Driveway Repaired & Lifted in Prentice, WI
Before: A homeowner in Prentice, WI had started noticing more and more uneven concrete around the front of the home, including the driveway, front walkway, and entry steps. Several slabs had settled over the years, leaving rough transitions throughout the driveway and making the walkway and steps awkward to walk across. Some sections had cracked and shifted enough that water was starting to collect in the low spots after rain, which only continued making the settling worse through Northern Wisconsin winters.
Like many homes around Price County, years of freeze-thaw weather and moisture working underneath the slabs had slowly caused the supporting soils to settle and wash out. The homeowner wanted to get everything leveled back out before the uneven concrete became an even bigger safety concern around the front entrance.
After: Sure-Dry used PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to carefully lift and stabilize the driveway, front walkway, and concrete steps leading to the entrance of the home. By injecting the foam beneath the slabs, the crew was able to fill the empty spaces underneath and raise the affected areas back closer to level without tearing out and replacing the existing concrete. Compared to traditional mudjacking methods, PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam is lightweight, cures quickly, and works especially well for detailed lifting around steps and entryways.
After the lifting work was completed, the joints and cracks were sealed using NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to help keep water from getting back underneath the slabs. By the end of the project, the driveway and walkway had smoother transitions, the front steps felt safer and more solid, and the whole front of the home looked cleaner and more level overall.
