Concrete Repair Before & After Photos

Before:

This homeowner in Fond du Lac, WI had a sidewalk that had become uneven and sunken over time, creating a noticeable trip hazard leading up to the home. Some sections had settled more than others, making the walkway unsafe and allowing water to collect in low spots after rain.

Like many sidewalks in Wisconsin, years of freeze/thaw cycles and shifting soil conditions had caused the concrete to sink and separate.

After:

Instead of tearing out and replacing the sidewalk, our team repaired it using PolyLevel® concrete lifting foam.

PolyLevel was injected beneath the sunken slabs to fill empty spaces under the concrete and carefully lift the sidewalk back into position. The lightweight expanding foam stabilized the soil below while restoring the walkway to a safer, more even surface.

Now the sidewalk is:
✔️ Level
✔️ Safer to walk on
✔️ Better supported underneath
✔️ Improved for proper drainage

The homeowner was able to restore the appearance and safety of the sidewalk without the mess, downtime, or expense of full concrete replacement.

Before The driveway and front walkway at this Fond du Lac, WI home had experienced noticeable settlement, causing uneven concrete slabs and separation near the entrance to the home. The shifting concrete created tripping hazards along the walkway and made portions of the driveway uneven for vehicle traffic. Water was also beginning to collect in low areas after rain and snowmelt, a common issue for homeowners searching for concrete leveling, concrete lifting contractor services, and concrete driveway repair throughout Fond du Lac County.
The homeowner wanted to restore the existing concrete without the cost and disruption of full replacement while avoiding older mudjacking methods that can place additional weight beneath already unstable soils.

After Sure-Dry lifted and stabilized the settled driveway and walkway using PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam. The expanding foam was injected beneath the affected slabs to fill underlying voids and carefully raise the concrete back toward its original position. Unlike traditional mudjacking or slab jacking techniques that use heavier grout materials, PolyLevel provides a lightweight concrete lifting solution that cures quickly and delivers precise slab stabilization with minimal disruption to the property.
The completed repair improved both safety and curb appeal while helping protect the driveway and entry walkway from additional settlement caused by Wisconsin freeze-thaw cycles.

Before: A homeowner in Fond du Lac, WI was dealing with significant concrete settlement along the driveway, front walkway, and a side walkway running around the garage. Over time, several slabs had shifted unevenly, creating noticeable trip hazards and drainage issues around the home’s main exterior walking paths. The side walkway near the garage had become especially problematic, with sections sinking several inches and creating an unsafe, severely unlevel surface that made navigating the area difficult for both family members and visitors. These types of settlement issues are common throughout Fond du Lac County where fluctuating moisture conditions and Wisconsin freeze-thaw cycles gradually weaken the soils beneath exterior concrete slabs.
The homeowner began searching for concrete lifting, concrete leveling, and concrete step repair solutions after learning that traditional mudjacking and slab jacking methods often use heavier materials that can place additional stress on already unstable soils beneath the concrete surfaces.
After: Sure-Dry restored the settled concrete using PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to carefully lift and stabilize the driveway, front walkway, and side garage walkway. The side walkway required substantial adjustment, with the crew raising portions of the slab several inches to bring the concrete back toward a safe, level position. This advanced concrete lifting system is installed through small injection ports and expands beneath the slab to fill voids and restore stable support beneath the concrete surfaces. Compared to traditional mudjacking methods, PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam is lightweight, cures quickly, and helps minimize future settlement caused by soil washout beneath the slabs.
To help protect the repaired concrete from future moisture intrusion, the team also sealed the joints and cracks using NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant. This durable sealant helps reduce water penetration beneath the slabs, helping prevent additional movement and deterioration over time. The completed concrete leveling project restored safer access around the property, eliminated major tripping hazards, and significantly improved the appearance and functionality of the driveway and walkways.

Before

A homeowner in Fond du Lac, WI noticed their concrete patio had settled over the years, leaving sections uneven and creating a tripping hazard where family and guests gathered outdoors. Water was pooling on the low side of the patio after rain, a sign that soil beneath the slab had shifted due to Wisconsin's freeze-thaw cycles and changing moisture conditions. Rather than removing and replacing the existing concrete, the homeowner contacted Sure-Dry for a professional concrete lifting solution.

After

Our team inspected the patio and located the voids that had developed beneath the slab before injecting PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam through small, strategically placed access holes. Unlike traditional mudjacking (slab jacking), which uses a heavy cement-based material, PolyLevel is lightweight, expands to fill hidden voids, cures in minutes, and provides long-lasting stabilization without placing additional stress on the underlying soil. The patio was carefully lifted back to a level position, restoring a safe, even outdoor living space while improving drainage and extending the life of the existing concrete.

Before: A homeowner in Hortonville, WI noticed sections of their concrete driveway and sidewalk leading to the front entrance had started to sink and become uneven over time. The shifting slabs created noticeable trip hazards and poor drainage conditions near the home’s primary walkway, especially during periods of heavy rain and seasonal snowmelt. Cracks and slab separation continued worsening as moisture worked beneath the concrete surfaces through Wisconsin’s freeze-thaw cycles, a common issue throughout Outagamie County and surrounding areas where soil movement contributes to concrete settlement.
The homeowner began researching concrete lifting, concrete leveling, and concrete sidewalk repair solutions after learning that traditional mudjacking and slab jacking methods often use heavier materials that can place additional stress beneath already unstable soils.
After: Sure-Dry repaired the settled concrete using PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to carefully raise and stabilize the driveway and sidewalk leading to the front entrance of the home. This advanced concrete lifting system is installed through small injection ports and expands beneath the slabs to fill voids and restore stable support beneath the concrete surfaces. Compared to traditional mudjacking methods, PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam is lightweight, fast-curing, and designed to resist future washout beneath the slabs.
The completed concrete leveling project restored smoother and safer access to the home while improving the overall appearance and functionality of both the driveway and front sidewalk. By lifting the settled slabs back toward their proper position, the repair also helped reduce areas where water could collect and contribute to future soil erosion beneath the concrete surfaces.
