Concrete Repair Before & After Photos

Before

A homeowner in Two Rivers, WI had a concrete driveway where settlement and open cracks had progressed far enough that grass was actually growing between sections of the concrete. The widening gaps weren't just affecting the driveway's appearance—they were allowing water, soil and vegetation into areas that should have remained protected.

Open joints and cracks are especially troublesome in Wisconsin. Rain and melting snow can travel through these openings and reach the soils beneath the driveway. Over time, erosion and soil movement can create voids beneath the slabs, while repeated freeze-thaw cycles can contribute to additional movement, cracking and uneven concrete.

The homeowner wanted to restore the existing driveway before the deterioration became more severe.

After

Sure-Dry repaired the driveway using PolyLevel®. Small injection holes were drilled through the concrete, allowing lightweight polyurethane foam to expand beneath the slabs. The material fills underlying voids, stabilizes the concrete and provides the controlled lifting force needed to improve uneven areas of the driveway.

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. Instead of leaving open spaces where grass, debris and water could continue to enter, NexusPro creates a flexible, weather-resistant seal that helps protect the soils beneath the driveway.

The result is a cleaner, more even and better-protected driveway. With the slabs stabilized and those grass-filled openings properly addressed, the homeowner now has concrete that's better prepared to withstand Two Rivers' rain, snow and repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

Facing the challenge of cracks and an uneven walkway in Dunbar, WI, this homeowner turned to us for help. As seen in the before photo, the pathway's wear and tear not only detracted from their home's curb appeal but also posed a safety risk. Enter PolyLevel and NexusPro: our dynamic duo of concrete solutions. The after photo brilliantly showcases the transformation - a smooth, level surface that's built to last. By marrying PolyLevel's precision lifting with NexusPro's crack-sealing prowess, we restored both beauty and function, seamlessly aligning with our mission to deliver a sterling customer experience alongside dependable, enduring results.

In Peshtigo, WI, a homeowner was dealing with cracked and uneven concrete that had become both an eyesore and a safety concern. Settling beneath the slabs caused the surface to shift, creating an unlevel area that needed attention.

Our team repaired the concrete using the PolyLevel system to lift and stabilize the slabs by filling the voids underneath. Once the surface was properly leveled, NexusPro® joint sealant was applied to the cracks and joints to help block out water and protect against future movement. With the repairs complete, the concrete is now smooth, stable, and safe to use again.

Before

This Kingsford, MI homeowner had a garage floor with severe cracking, significant slab settlement, and areas of heaving that made the surface uneven and difficult to use. Years of soil movement, moisture changes, and Upper Michigan's harsh freeze-thaw cycles had caused portions of the concrete to shift in different directions, creating trip hazards and making it difficult to park vehicles or move equipment through the garage. During our inspection, we found that erosion beneath parts of the slab had created voids while other sections had been displaced by soil movement. Rather than replacing the entire garage floor, we recommended repairing the sections that could be restored using PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam. Unlike traditional mudjacking, PolyLevel uses lightweight expanding polyurethane foam that precisely lifts settled concrete without adding additional weight to the underlying soils.

After

Our crew carefully evaluated the garage floor to determine which sections could be successfully restored through concrete lifting. After drilling small injection holes, we installed PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam beneath the settled slabs, filling the hidden voids and raising the concrete to improve the overall floor elevation and reduce uneven transitions. By stabilizing the supporting soils beneath the slab, the garage floor was restored to a much safer and more functional condition. The homeowner now has a stronger, more level garage floor that is easier to use and better prepared to withstand the challenging freeze-thaw conditions common throughout Upper Michigan.

Before
The homeowner in Marinette, WI had a settled sidewalk leading up to the home, creating an uneven walking surface and a noticeable drop near the concrete patio located beneath a roof overhang. The settlement posed a trip hazard and allowed water to collect and drain back toward the foundation. Limited access from the roof overhang made full concrete replacement impractical, while Wisconsin freeze-thaw cycles continued to worsen the uneven slabs.

After
Sure-Dry stabilized and lifted the affected sidewalk slabs using PolyLevel® to restore proper elevation and create a smooth, even walking surface. The precision lifting process corrected the settlement without disturbing the adjacent patio or the roof structure above. Proper alignment improved drainage away from the home and eliminated the trip hazard without the need for removal or replacement.
The homeowner now has a level, safe sidewalk that complements the patio area and performs reliably in all seasons.
