Concrete Sidewalk Lifted in Little Chute, WI
The homeowner wanted to correct the sinking sidewalk without the mess and added weight associated with traditional mudjacking or slab jacking methods, while preserving the existing concrete surface.
After Sure-Dry restored the settled sidewalk using PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to carefully lift and stabilize the affected concrete slabs. The lightweight foam was injected beneath the sidewalk through small access points, filling voids beneath the concrete while raising the slabs back toward their original position. Unlike traditional mudjacking methods that rely on heavier grout materials, PolyLevel provides a faster-curing concrete lifting solution with minimal disruption and reduced stress on underlying soils.
After leveling was completed, the joints and cracks were sealed using NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to help reduce water intrusion and future soil washout beneath the sidewalk. The completed repair improved both safety and appearance while helping extend the life of the existing concrete walkway.

Broken Concrete Driveway Repair & Joint Sealant Installed in Little Chute, WI
Before
A homeowner in Little Chute, WI had a concrete driveway with severely cracked slabs and noticeable signs of settlement. The cracking had progressed well beyond small surface imperfections, leaving the driveway uneven and creating openings where water could easily reach the soils beneath the concrete.
In Wisconsin, badly cracked concrete can become a cycle of continued deterioration. Rain and melting snow enter through open cracks, contributing to erosion and void formation beneath the slabs. When moisture freezes and thaws, movement in the supporting soils can make existing cracks and settlement even worse.
Although the slabs were heavily cracked, much of the existing concrete could still be stabilized and repaired rather than immediately tearing out and replacing the entire driveway.
After
Sure-Dry repaired the driveway using PolyLevel®. Lightweight polyurethane foam was injected beneath the affected slabs, where it expanded to fill underlying voids, stabilize the concrete and provide controlled lifting to improve uneven areas.
Compared with traditional mudjacking, PolyLevel requires much smaller injection holes, adds significantly less weight to already-compromised soils and cures quickly with minimal downtime.
Once the slabs were stabilized, NexusPro® was applied to the appropriate cracks and joints. Sealing these openings is especially important on a driveway with extensive cracking because it helps limit water from continuing to reach and erode the supporting soils beneath the concrete.
The existing cracks don't simply disappear when concrete is lifted, but stabilizing the slabs and protecting the vulnerable openings can dramatically improve the driveway's condition and help extend the useful life of the existing concrete.
This Little Chute homeowner now has a more stable, more even and better-protected driveway without the disruption of completely removing and replacing the existing slabs.

Sunken and Cracked Sidewalk Repair & Joint Sealant in Little Chute, WI
Before
A homeowner in Little Chute, WI was dealing with a concrete sidewalk that had settled and become uneven. The changing elevations between slabs affected the appearance of the walkway and created raised edges that could become trip hazards for family members and visitors.
Concrete settlement is common throughout Wisconsin as moisture and changing soil conditions create voids beneath sidewalks. Open joints and cracks allow even more rain and melting snow to reach the supporting soils, while repeated freeze-thaw cycles can contribute to additional movement.
Rather than removing and replacing otherwise serviceable concrete, the homeowner wanted to stabilize and restore the existing sidewalk.
After
Sure-Dry repaired the sidewalk using PolyLevel®. Small injection holes were drilled through the concrete, allowing lightweight polyurethane foam to expand beneath the slabs. The material fills underlying voids, restores support and provides controlled lifting to improve uneven areas of the walkway.
Compared with traditional mudjacking, PolyLevel requires smaller injection holes, adds significantly less weight beneath already-settled concrete and cures quickly with minimal disruption.
Once the slabs were stabilized and leveled, NexusPro® was applied to the appropriate joints and cracks. The flexible sealant helps prevent water from entering beneath the sidewalk where it could contribute to soil erosion, void formation and future settlement.
With the concrete lifted, stabilized and vulnerable openings sealed, this Little Chute homeowner now has a smoother, safer and better-protected sidewalk that's better prepared for Wisconsin's changing weather conditions.

Foundation & Floor Joist Repair in Little Chute, WI
Before
A homeowner in Little Chute, WI had one specific area of their home where the floor needed additional support. Rather than experiencing a widespread structural problem throughout the basement, the concern was concentrated in one location where the floor system above needed reinforcement to remain solid and properly supported.
Floor problems can develop when a beam or floor joists no longer have adequate support beneath them. Over time, this can lead to noticeable floor movement, sagging or a less-solid feeling underfoot.
In this case, the rest of the basement didn't require extensive reinforcement. The goal was to address the problem where it existed without installing unnecessary supports elsewhere.
After
Sure-Dry installed two SmartJack® Support Posts beneath the affected area of the floor system.
The SmartJacks were positioned to provide strong, permanent support exactly where it was needed. Unlike temporary posts or improvised supports, the SmartJack system is designed to transfer the weight of the floor structure through an engineered support system and provide long-term stabilization.
An important advantage of SmartJack is its adjustability. The system can be tightened during installation to stabilize the floor and can be adjusted in the future if conditions require it.
With just two strategically placed SmartJacks, Sure-Dry was able to reinforce the problem area without unnecessarily altering the rest of the basement.
The homeowner now has a more solid, properly supported floor above and a permanent structural solution focused specifically on the area that needed reinforcement.
