Concrete Repair Before & After Photos

Before

This large concrete driveway at a Shawano, WI home included the approach to an impressive five-stall garage, making the concrete a major part of the property. Over time, multiple driveway slabs had settled and the surface had developed cracking throughout several areas. The combination of sunken slabs, uneven transitions, and open cracks affected both the appearance and function of the driveway.

With such a large concrete surface, keeping water from reaching the supporting soils is especially important. Rain and melting snow can enter through cracks and joints, contributing to soil erosion and void formation. Wisconsin’s repeated freeze-thaw cycles can further contribute to movement beneath the slabs.

Sure-Dry used PolyLevel® throughout the driveway to address the settled areas. Unlike traditional mudjacking, which uses a heavy cement-based slurry, PolyLevel uses lightweight expanding polyurethane foam to fill voids and precisely lift the concrete. It requires smaller injection holes, adds very little weight to the underlying soil, and cures quickly.

After

The crew carefully lifted and stabilized the sunken driveway slabs with PolyLevel, improving the transitions between sections of concrete and across the approaches to the five garage stalls.

Because of the driveway’s size and the amount of cracking, NexusPro® was used extensively throughout the project. The crew sealed cracks and joints across the entire driveway, helping prevent water from traveling through these openings and reaching the supporting soils below.

Completing both the lifting and extensive sealing created a noticeable transformation. This large Shawano driveway now has better-supported slabs, smoother transitions, sealed cracks and joints, and added protection against the conditions that can contribute to future settlement.

Before

The homeowner in West Bend, WI noticed their concrete patio outside the sliding door entrance had settled over time, creating an uneven transition between the home and the patio surface. The settlement had caused portions of the concrete to sink, creating tripping hazards and allowing water to collect near the patio after rainfall. Conditions like these are common signs of soil settlement beneath exterior concrete slabs. Many homeowners researching concrete lifting solutions compare them to mudjacking, a traditional slab jacking method that uses a heavy grout mixture to raise settled concrete.

After

Sure-Dry restored the patio using PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam. The lightweight foam was injected beneath the settled slab to fill voids, stabilize the supporting soils, and carefully lift the concrete back toward its intended elevation. After the concrete leveling process was completed, NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant was applied to seal cracks and joints, helping prevent water from infiltrating beneath the patio. Unlike mudjacking, PolyLevel cures quickly, requires smaller injection holes, adds less weight to the underlying soils, and provides a durable solution for homeowners seeking professional concrete lifting, concrete leveling, and patio repair services in Washington County.

Before

A homeowner in West Bend, WI was dealing with settled and cracked concrete around their home, including the back patio and garage floor. The garage floor was especially concerning because a large crack ran down the middle of the concrete, creating an uneven appearance and showing that the slabs had experienced movement.

Wisconsin's changing soil conditions and repeated freeze-thaw cycles can contribute to voids developing beneath concrete. As support is lost, heavy concrete slabs can settle, shift, and eventually crack.

After

Sure-Dry repaired the affected concrete using PolyLevel® to lift and stabilize the settled slabs. The lightweight polyurethane foam is injected beneath the concrete, where it expands to fill underlying voids and restore support.

Unlike traditional mudjacking, PolyLevel requires smaller injection holes, adds significantly less weight to the underlying soil, and cures quickly.

After the slabs were stabilized, NexusPro® was used to seal the joints and cracks, including the large crack running through the garage floor. NexusPro helps protect against water intrusion while remaining flexible through seasonal movement and temperature changes.

The result is a more stable, even, and protected back patio and garage floor without the expense and disruption of complete concrete replacement.

Before

A homeowner in West Bend, WI had a back concrete patio that had settled over time, leaving sections of the patio uneven. When patio slabs sink, they can create uncomfortable walking surfaces and allow water to collect or drain toward areas where it isn't wanted.

Wisconsin's changing soil conditions, moisture fluctuations, and repeated freeze-thaw cycles can contribute to voids beneath concrete slabs. As the soil loses its ability to evenly support the concrete, sections of a patio can begin to sink.

After

Sure-Dry used PolyLevel® to lift and stabilize the settled patio slabs. PolyLevel's lightweight polyurethane material is injected through small holes in the concrete and expands beneath the slab to fill voids and restore support.

Compared with traditional mudjacking, PolyLevel requires smaller injection holes, adds significantly less weight to the underlying soil, and cures quickly.

After the patio was leveled, SealantPro® was applied to the concrete surface. SealantPro penetrates into the concrete to help protect it against water, moisture, and other elements that can contribute to deterioration over time.

The homeowner now has a more level back patio with added protection to help extend the life of the concrete.

Before

A homeowner in West Bend, WI had an uneven garage floor where sections of the concrete had settled and cracks had developed across the slabs. Changes in the soil beneath concrete, along with Wisconsin’s repeated freeze-thaw cycles, can create voids and allow heavy garage slabs to settle over time.

After

Sure-Dry repaired the garage floor using PolyLevel to lift and stabilize the settled slabs. PolyLevel is injected beneath the concrete, where the expanding material fills underlying voids and provides support while carefully raising the concrete back toward its proper position.

We then applied NexusPro to seal the cracks and joints. This helps limit water intrusion beneath the slabs while giving the repaired garage floor a cleaner, finished appearance.

Compared with traditional mudjacking, PolyLevel requires smaller injection holes, adds less weight to the soils beneath the slab, and cures quickly.
