Concrete Repair Before & After Photos

In Mount Calvary, WI, a homeowner noticed that water wasn't draining properly, causing concern about soil erosion and foundation issues. In the before photo, you can see the problematic slopes in their concrete surfaces. We applied our PolyLevel® Injection Foam system to stabilize and lift the sunken slabs, while our NexusPro® Joint Sealant sealed existing cracks and joints. Notice in the after photo how the newly leveled slab guides water flow away from the home, ensuring security and peace of mind. This reliable, long-lasting solution reflects Sure-Dry’s commitment to effective, homeowner-first service.

Before

The homeowner in Appleton, WI was dealing with significant settlement across a large concrete driveway, the walkway leading to the front entrance, and the front concrete steps. Uneven slabs, sunken sections, and widening joints had created noticeable tripping hazards while allowing water to collect in low areas. Over time, moisture infiltration beneath the concrete can wash away supporting soils and contribute to further settlement. Many homeowners facing these issues compare modern concrete lifting methods to mudjacking, a traditional slab jacking process that uses a heavy grout mixture to raise settled concrete.

After

Sure-Dry restored the driveway, walkway, and front steps using PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam. The lightweight foam was strategically injected beneath the affected concrete to fill voids, stabilize the base, and carefully lift the slabs and steps back toward their intended position. Once the concrete leveling process was completed, NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant was applied to seal cracks and joints, helping prevent future water intrusion beneath the concrete. Unlike mudjacking, PolyLevel cures quickly, requires smaller injection holes, adds less weight to underlying soils, and provides a long-lasting solution for homeowners seeking professional concrete lifting, concrete leveling, and concrete step repair services in Outagamie County.

Driveway had sunk several inches making it hard for the homeowners to drive into their garage. Sure-Dry lifted the driveway with PolyLevel and sealed joints and cracks with NexusPro joint sealant to ensure moisture would no longer cause an issue.

Before
This Appleton, WI homeowner had a concrete driveway that wrapped around into the front walkway and steps leading to the main entrance. Over time, several sections had settled, creating uneven transitions, trip hazards, and gaps between the concrete slabs. During our inspection, we identified multiple areas where soil erosion beneath the concrete had created voids, allowing the slabs to sink. Like many homes in northeastern Wisconsin, repeated freeze-thaw cycles and changing soil moisture had accelerated the settlement. Rather than replacing the concrete, we recommended repairing it with PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam and NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant. Unlike traditional mudjacking, PolyLevel is lightweight, waterproof, cures in minutes, and won't place additional weight on the supporting soils.

After
Our crew carefully measured the elevation of each slab and injected PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam beneath the driveway, front walkway, and entry steps to precisely lift and level each section. Once the concrete was restored to a safe, uniform height, we sealed the joints and cracks with NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to help keep water from reaching the soils beneath the slabs. The homeowner now has a safer, more attractive entrance to their home with smooth transitions from the driveway to the front steps and a long-lasting repair designed to withstand Wisconsin's harsh climate.

Before

An Appleton, WI homeowner had a concrete driveway with sunken and uneven slabs along with cracks that had developed between sections. Soil settlement, erosion and Wisconsin’s repeated freeze-thaw cycles can create voids beneath driveway slabs, allowing the concrete to sink and shift over time.

After

Sure-Dry used PolyLevel® to lift and stabilize the settled driveway slabs. The lightweight polyurethane foam expands beneath the concrete, filling voids and carefully raising the affected sections toward a more even position.

The cracks and joints were then sealed with NexusPro®, helping keep water from reaching the soil beneath the driveway and contributing to future settlement and freeze-thaw damage.

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