Concrete Driveway Repair in Ripon, WI
Before
The concrete slabs directly in front of this Ripon, WI garage had settled, creating an uneven transition at the garage entrance. This type of settlement can cause a noticeable bump when pulling vehicles in and out and can continue to worsen as voids develop beneath the concrete.
Wisconsin’s freeze-thaw cycles and changing soil moisture levels can contribute to concrete settlement. As the soil beneath a slab shifts, washes out, or loses its ability to properly support the concrete, the heavy slab above can begin to sink.
Traditional mudjacking attempts to correct this problem by pumping a heavy cement-based mixture beneath the concrete. Sure-Dry instead used PolyLevel®, a lightweight expanding polyurethane foam designed to fill voids beneath the slab and precisely lift the concrete. PolyLevel requires smaller injection holes than traditional mudjacking, adds very little additional weight to the underlying soil, and cures quickly.
After
PolyLevel was injected beneath the settled garage slabs to fill the voids and carefully lift the concrete back toward its proper position.
The repair improved the transition into the garage while restoring support beneath the slabs. Instead of removing and replacing otherwise usable concrete, the homeowners were able to address the settlement with a minimally invasive concrete lifting solution.
