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.

Sunken Concrete Driveway Repair in Waupun, WI
Before
The homeowner in Waupun, WI had watched sections of their concrete driveway and front walkway gradually settle over time, creating uneven surfaces leading all the way to the front door. The sunken slabs had become a tripping hazard, collected water during rainstorms, and detracted from the home's curb appeal. During our inspection, we identified soil settlement beneath the concrete—a common issue in Wisconsin where freeze-thaw cycles and moisture changes cause slabs to sink and separate. Rather than replacing the concrete, our concrete leveling specialists recommended lifting and permanently stabilizing the existing slabs.
After
Our crew restored the driveway and front walkway using PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to precisely raise the settled slabs back toward their original position. Unlike traditional mudjacking (slab jacking), PolyLevel is lightweight, waterproof, and cures quickly, allowing the concrete to be used again in a short amount of time while placing minimal additional weight on the underlying soils. Once the concrete was properly aligned, we sealed the joints and cracks with NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to help prevent water intrusion, soil erosion beneath the slabs, and future settlement. The homeowner now has a safer entrance and greatly improved curb appeal with a long-lasting concrete repair solution.

Failing Concrete Patio Repaired in Waupun, WI
Before
A homeowner in Waupun, WI noticed the small concrete patio next to their front entrance had already begun to sink, despite the home being only a few years old. The settling slab created an uneven transition at the front entry, creating a tripping hazard and allowing water to collect near the foundation. During our inspection, we determined that soil settlement beneath the slab had created voids, a common issue in Wisconsin where newly placed soils continue to consolidate and freeze-thaw cycles accelerate movement beneath exterior concrete. Rather than replacing the nearly new patio, our concrete leveling specialist recommended lifting and stabilizing the existing slab.
After
Our crew restored the front entry patio using PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to carefully lift the settled slab back toward its original position. Unlike traditional mudjacking (slab jacking), PolyLevel is lightweight, waterproof, and cures in minutes, allowing the patio to be used again quickly while providing long-term stabilization beneath the concrete. Once the slab was properly aligned, the joints were sealed with NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to help prevent water from washing beneath the slab and causing future settlement. The homeowner now has a safe, level front entrance that complements their newer home while helping protect the investment for years to come.

Concrete Driveway and Walkways Repaired & Leveled in Waupun, WI
Before
The homeowner in Waupun, WI noticed multiple sections of concrete around their home had begun to settle, including the driveway, the front walkway leading to the front steps, and the side walkway wrapping around to the garage service entrance. The uneven slabs had created trip hazards, allowed water to collect in low areas, and impacted the home's curb appeal. During our inspection, our concrete leveling specialist identified voids beneath the slabs caused by soil settlement—a common issue in Wisconsin where freeze-thaw cycles and changing moisture conditions contribute to concrete movement. Fortunately, the concrete remained structurally sound, making it an excellent candidate for lifting instead of replacement.
After
Our crew restored each affected area using PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to precisely lift and stabilize the driveway, front walkway, and side walkway leading to the garage service entrance. Unlike traditional mudjacking (slab jacking), PolyLevel is lightweight, waterproof, cures in minutes, and won't add excessive weight to the supporting soils. After the concrete was returned to a safe, even position, we sealed the joints and cracks with NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to help keep water from washing beneath the slabs and causing future settlement. The homeowner now has safer walkways, improved curb appeal, and a long-lasting concrete repair solution designed to withstand Wisconsin's changing seasons.

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.
