Sunken Concrete Patio Repair in Waupaca, WI
Before
A homeowner in Waupaca, WI had several sections of their back concrete patio that had settled over time, leaving the slabs uneven and creating noticeable trip hazards. The sunken concrete also allowed water to collect in the low areas instead of draining away from the home. Like many outdoor concrete surfaces in Wisconsin, the patio had been affected by soil settlement and repeated freeze-thaw cycles, causing the slabs to sink while remaining structurally sound.
After
Sure-Dry restored the patio using PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to precisely lift and level the settled slabs. Unlike traditional mudjacking, PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam is lightweight, cures in about 15 minutes, and provides long-lasting support without adding excessive weight beneath the concrete. Once the patio was returned to a level position, the homeowner once again had a safer, more attractive outdoor space with improved drainage and no need for costly concrete replacement.

Garage Apron Concrete Repair, Lifting & Joint Sealing in Waupaca, WI
Before
A homeowner in Waupaca, WI had a concrete garage apron and the steps leading down to the lower-level entrance that had settled over time, creating uneven surfaces and noticeable gaps between the concrete slabs. The height differences made it more difficult to safely walk between the garage and lower-level entry while also allowing water to seep into the joints. Wisconsin's freeze-thaw cycles and naturally shifting soils often cause these heavily used concrete areas to settle, leading to trip hazards and continued movement if left unaddressed.
After
Sure-Dry restored the garage apron and lower-level entry steps using PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to accurately lift and stabilize the settled concrete. Unlike traditional mudjacking, PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam is lightweight, cures in about 15 minutes, and provides long-lasting support without placing additional stress on the underlying soils. After the concrete was returned to the proper elevation, all joints and cracks were sealed with NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to help prevent water from infiltrating beneath the slabs and contributing to future settlement. The completed project restored safe access to the lower-level entrance while improving the appearance and longevity of the existing concrete.

Concrete Driveway with Severe Sunken Slabs Repaired in Lowell, WI
Before: A homeowner in Lowell, WI had reached the point where the concrete driveway and walkway leading to the front door were falling apart faster every season. Large cracks had formed throughout several slabs, sections of the concrete had sunk badly out of level, and parts of the walkway had become rough enough that family and guests had to watch where they stepped coming up to the house. Water was also settling into the low spots after rain, which only continued washing out the soil underneath and making the problem worse over time.
Around Dodge County, severe freeze-thaw weather and years of moisture working under older concrete can really take a toll on driveways and walkways like this. The homeowner wanted to avoid the cost and mess of replacing everything and started looking into concrete lifting and concrete leveling options instead.
After: Sure-Dry used PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to lift and stabilize the settled driveway and front walkway slabs. By injecting the foam beneath the concrete, the crew was able to fill the empty spaces underneath and carefully raise several badly sunken sections back closer to level. Compared to traditional mudjacking methods, PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam is lightweight, cures quickly, and helps avoid putting extra stress on already shifting soils beneath the slabs.
After the lifting work was finished, the crew sealed the large cracks and open joints using NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to help keep water from getting back underneath the concrete. By the time the project was completed, the driveway and walkway looked dramatically better, the uneven sections were much safer to walk across, and the whole front approach to the home felt cleaned up and more solid again.

Sunken Concrete Walkway Repair in Berlin, WI
Before
The homeowner in Berlin, WI had several sections of uneven concrete along the sidewalk leading from the street to the house, along with a settled concrete slab between two buildings.

After
Sure-Dry restored the concrete using PolyLevel® High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to carefully lift and level the settled sidewalk and the slab between the buildings. Once the concrete was returned to the proper elevation, the joints and cracks were sealed with NexusPro® Concrete Joint Sealant to help prevent water from washing out the supporting soil below.

Sunken Concrete Patio Repair in Berlin, WI
Before
The homeowner in Berlin, WI noticed the small concrete patio outside the rear service door of their garage had settled over time, causing water to collect against the slab and near the doorway after rain.

Homeowners searching for concrete lifting, concrete lifting company, concrete lifting contractor, concrete leveling, or concrete leveling contractor often experience similar issues when concrete settles because of soil movement beneath the slab.
After
Sure-Dry restored the patio using PolyLevel® High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to carefully raise the settled slab and improve drainage away from the garage service door. Once the patio was properly positioned, the joints and cracks were sealed with NexusPro® Concrete Joint Sealant to help prevent water from entering beneath the concrete and causing additional settlement.
