Concrete Repair Before & After Photos

Before

The homeowner in Marshfield, WI began noticing settlement in several concrete areas around their newer home, including the concrete pad directly in front of the garage door and two walkways leading to the front entry and side garage entrance. As the slabs settled, uneven surfaces developed, creating trip hazards and detracting from the home's appearance. Water was also beginning to collect in low areas, increasing concerns about future deterioration and additional settlement.

Wanting to address the problem before replacement became necessary, the homeowner contacted a trusted concrete lifting contractor for a professional evaluation. They were looking for a long-lasting concrete leveling solution that would restore the existing concrete while minimizing disruption to the property.

After

Following a detailed inspection, Sure-Dry lifted and stabilized the settled concrete using PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam. The concrete pad in front of the garage door, the walkway leading to the front entry, and the walkway serving the side garage entrance were carefully raised to their proper elevations. Unlike traditional mudjacking, also known as slab jacking, PolyLevel is lightweight, expands to fill underlying voids, and provides reliable support without placing additional weight on the supporting soils.

To help protect the repaired concrete, the team sealed the joints and cracks using NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant. This durable sealant helps prevent water infiltration and soil washout beneath the slabs, reducing the likelihood of future settlement. The completed project restored safer walking surfaces, improved drainage, and enhanced the overall appearance of the home's exterior while providing a proven concrete lifting and concrete leveling solution.

Before

The homeowner in Marshfield, WI was experiencing settlement along the concrete driveway approach and an adjoining concrete area next to the home. Over time, the affected slabs had sunk enough to create uneven transitions, negatively impacting both appearance and functionality. Water was beginning to collect in the low areas, raising concerns about further soil erosion and continued concrete settlement.

The settlement had become significant enough that the homeowner removed the wooden steps leading to the home's entrance in preparation for rebuilding them once the concrete was properly leveled. Looking for a cost-effective alternative to replacement, the homeowner contacted a trusted concrete lifting company to restore the existing concrete and provide a long-term solution.

After

Following a detailed inspection, Sure-Dry utilized PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to lift and stabilize the settled driveway approach and adjoining concrete area next to the home. The lightweight expanding foam was injected beneath the slabs to fill voids and restore the concrete to its proper elevation. Unlike traditional mudjacking, also known as slab jacking, PolyLevel adds minimal weight to the underlying soils while providing a durable, long-lasting concrete leveling solution.

To help protect the repaired surfaces, the team sealed the joints and cracks using NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant. This flexible sealant helps prevent water infiltration that can lead to soil washout and future settlement. With the concrete restored to a more level position, the homeowner could confidently move forward with rebuilding the entrance steps while enjoying improved drainage, safety, and curb appeal.

Before

The concrete driveway at this Abbotsford, WI home had significant settlement along with extensive cracking throughout the slabs. Several of the cracks had opened considerably, leaving the driveway with an uneven, deteriorated appearance and providing multiple pathways for water to get beneath the concrete.

These conditions can feed into each other. Once cracks open, rain and melting snow can reach the supporting soils below. Soil erosion, changing moisture levels, and Wisconsin’s repeated freeze-thaw cycles can then create additional voids and movement beneath the slabs.

Sure-Dry used PolyLevel® to address the settlement. Unlike traditional mudjacking, which pumps a heavy cement-based slurry beneath the concrete, PolyLevel uses lightweight expanding polyurethane foam. The material is injected through small holes to fill voids and precisely lift the slabs while adding very little additional weight to the underlying soil.

After

After the driveway slabs were lifted and stabilized with PolyLevel, this project required an extensive application of NexusPro® because of the amount of cracking throughout the driveway.

The crew sealed the numerous cracks and joints with NexusPro, creating a noticeable transformation across the surface of the driveway. Beyond improving its finished appearance, sealing such a large amount of cracking helps reduce the amount of water that can travel through those openings and reach the soils beneath the slabs.

With the concrete lifted and the extensive cracking sealed, the existing driveway now has improved support, smoother transitions, and better protection against water intrusion and future settlement.

Before
A homeowner in Medford, WI was dealing with settled and uneven concrete affecting the garage floor, concrete apron in front of the garage, and front walkway. As the supporting soils beneath the slabs settled and developed voids, portions of the concrete began to sink and shift. The resulting uneven transitions created potential trip hazards along the walkway and rough transitions where vehicles traveled between the driveway, apron, and garage. Cracks and open joints also provided pathways for water to reach the soils below, where Wisconsin’s seasonal moisture and freeze-thaw cycles could contribute to continued settlement.
After
Sure-Dry restored the affected concrete using PolyLevel® High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam. Small injection points allowed the lightweight polyurethane foam to expand beneath the garage floor, apron, and front walkway, filling underlying voids while carefully lifting and stabilizing the slabs. NexusPro® Concrete Joint Sealant was then applied to appropriate cracks and joints to help limit water infiltration and protect the supporting soils. Unlike traditional mudjacking, or slab jacking, which pumps a heavy cement-based slurry beneath the concrete, PolyLevel uses lightweight expanding foam, smaller injection holes, and allows for precise concrete leveling. The completed concrete lifting project provided the homeowner with a more stable garage floor, smoother vehicle transitions at the apron, and a safer, more even front walkway.

Before
A homeowner in Medford, WI was dealing with settled and uneven concrete affecting the slab directly in front of the garage and the sidewalk running along the side of the house beneath an overhang to the home's main entrance. As the supporting soils beneath these slabs settled and developed voids, sections of concrete began to sink and shift. The uneven sidewalk was especially concerning because it served as the homeowner's primary walking route into the house. Open joints and cracks could also allow water beneath the slabs, where Central Wisconsin's seasonal moisture and freeze-thaw cycles can contribute to further soil movement and settlement.
After
Sure-Dry restored the affected concrete using PolyLevel® High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam. The polyurethane foam was injected through small, strategically placed holes to fill voids beneath the garage approach slab and side sidewalk while providing controlled concrete lifting and stabilization. NexusPro® Concrete Joint Sealant was then applied to appropriate cracks and joints to help prevent water from reaching and eroding the supporting soils. Traditional mudjacking, also called slab jacking, uses a heavier cement-based slurry to raise concrete. PolyLevel provides a lightweight alternative with smaller injection holes, precise lifting, and less additional weight placed on the soils below. The completed concrete leveling project provided a smoother surface in front of the garage and safer, more stable access along the sidewalk to the home's main entrance.
