Cracked Concrete Garage Apron Lifted and Leveled in Birnamwood, WI

Before

This Birnamwood, WI homeowner had a garage floor and concrete apron that had settled over the years, creating a significant height difference where the driveway met the garage. The apron had sunk considerably, causing a large bump every time a vehicle entered or exited the garage. In addition to the rough transition, the settled concrete had developed cracks and uneven joints that allowed water to penetrate beneath the slabs, increasing the risk of further settlement. During our inspection, we determined that soil erosion and voids beneath the concrete were the primary cause of the problem—a common issue throughout Wisconsin due to changing soil moisture and freeze-thaw cycles. Instead of replacing the concrete, we recommended repairing it with PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam and NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant. Unlike traditional mudjacking, PolyLevel uses lightweight expanding polyurethane foam that provides precise lifting without placing additional weight on the supporting soils.

After

Our crew performed a detailed elevation assessment before strategically injecting PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam beneath the garage floor and apron. The expanding foam filled the hidden voids and carefully lifted the settled concrete, eliminating the large bump at the garage entrance and restoring a smooth transition from the driveway into the garage. Once the slabs were properly aligned, we sealed the joints and cracks with NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to help prevent water infiltration beneath the concrete and reduce the potential for future settlement. The homeowner now has a safer, smoother garage entrance and a long-lasting concrete repair that greatly improved both functionality and curb appeal.
