Concrete Repair Before & After Photos

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.

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.

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.

In Tigerton, WI, a homeowner faced a common yet troubling issue: their garage door wouldn't close properly due to uneven concrete. As you can see in the before photo, the misaligned concrete posed a significant problem. Our skilled team at Sure-Dry came to the rescue, employing PolyLevel and NexusPro techniques to seamlessly lift and stabilize the concrete. The after photo reveals the incredible transformation, ensuring the garage door functions effortlessly. Our solution not only rectified the annoyance but also enhanced the home's aesthetic and functionality, providing the homeowner with lasting peace of mind.

Before: A homeowner in Tigerton, WI was dealing with a concrete driveway that had settled and developed uneven areas and cracks. As the soil beneath concrete shifts and settles, voids can form under the slabs, allowing them to sink. Wisconsin’s repeated freeze-thaw cycles can make these problems worse by allowing water beneath and between the concrete.

After: Sure-Dry used PolyLevel® to lift and level the affected driveway slabs. PolyLevel is a lightweight polyurethane foam injected through small holes in the concrete, where it expands beneath the slab to fill voids, stabilize the soil, and carefully raise the concrete. Unlike traditional mudjacking, PolyLevel requires smaller injection holes, adds significantly less weight to the underlying soil, and cures quickly. Once the slabs were stabilized, NexusPro® was applied to cracks and joints to help prevent water from reaching the soil beneath the driveway. The homeowner now has a smoother, more stable driveway with the existing concrete preserved instead of replaced.
