Concrete Repair Before & After Photos

Before

The concrete steps at the front entrance of this Wisconsin Rapids, WI home had settled and tipped away from the house. Besides making the entrance look uneven, tipped and sunken concrete steps can create an uncomfortable walking surface and a potential trip hazard for anyone entering or leaving the home. Settlement like this often develops as the soil beneath the concrete compacts, erodes, or washes out. Wisconsin's freeze-thaw cycles can contribute to additional movement over time.

After

Sure-Dry used PolyLevel® to carefully lift and level the settled front concrete steps, restoring a safer and more even approach to the home's entrance. NexusPro® was then used to seal the joints and cracks, helping reduce water intrusion beneath the concrete that can contribute to future soil erosion and settlement.

Compared with traditional mudjacking, PolyLevel uses a lightweight polyurethane material, requires smaller injection holes, and cures quickly. It also adds significantly less weight to the already compromised soil beneath the concrete. The combination of concrete lifting and joint sealing gave this homeowner a cleaner, more stable front entrance without having to tear out and replace the existing steps.

Before: A homeowner in Prentice, WI had started noticing more and more uneven concrete around the front of the home, including the driveway, front walkway, and entry steps. Several slabs had settled over the years, leaving rough transitions throughout the driveway and making the walkway and steps awkward to walk across. Some sections had cracked and shifted enough that water was starting to collect in the low spots after rain, which only continued making the settling worse through Northern Wisconsin winters.
Like many homes around Price County, years of freeze-thaw weather and moisture working underneath the slabs had slowly caused the supporting soils to settle and wash out. The homeowner wanted to get everything leveled back out before the uneven concrete became an even bigger safety concern around the front entrance.

After: Sure-Dry used PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to carefully lift and stabilize the driveway, front walkway, and concrete steps leading to the entrance of the home. By injecting the foam beneath the slabs, the crew was able to fill the empty spaces underneath and raise the affected areas back closer to level without tearing out and replacing the existing concrete. Compared to traditional mudjacking methods, PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam is lightweight, cures quickly, and works especially well for detailed lifting around steps and entryways.
After the lifting work was completed, the joints and cracks were sealed using NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to help keep water from getting back underneath the slabs. By the end of the project, the driveway and walkway had smoother transitions, the front steps felt safer and more solid, and the whole front of the home looked cleaner and more level overall.

Before: A homeowner in Rib Lake, WI had started noticing the concrete garage apron and walkway leading to the front door were settling and pulling away over the years. The apron had dropped enough that pulling vehicles into the garage was becoming rougher, and the walkway to the entrance had become uneven and awkward to walk across. Water was also starting to sit in some of the low spots after rain, which only continued making the settling worse through the long freeze-thaw seasons common in Northern Wisconsin.
Like a lot of homes around Taylor County, shifting soils and moisture underneath the slabs had slowly caused sections of the concrete to sink out of level. The homeowner wanted to clean up the appearance of the concrete and fix the tripping hazards without having to tear out and replace large sections of the driveway and walkway.

After: Sure-Dry lifted and stabilized the settled garage apron and front walkway using PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam. The foam was injected beneath the slabs to fill the empty spaces underneath and carefully raise the concrete back closer to level. Compared to traditional mudjacking or slab jacking methods, PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam is lightweight, cures quickly, and helps avoid adding extra stress to already shifting soils.
Once the lifting work was complete, the crew sealed the joints and cracks using NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to help keep water from getting back underneath the concrete. By the end of the project, the garage apron had a much smoother transition into the garage, and the walkway to the front entrance looked cleaner, more level, and safer to use.
