Merrill, WI's Expert Foundation Repair & Basement Waterproofing

Sure-Dry recently completed a concrete lifting and concrete leveling project for a homeowner in Merrill, WI dealing with settlement around several exterior concrete areas, including a patio, wrap-around walkway, and multiple entrance areas. During the inspection, the System Design Specialist found several slabs had shifted and dropped over time due to moisture movement and soil settlement beneath the concrete. The walkway running between the house and garage toward the backyard patio had become uneven in multiple spots, and the concrete beneath two step entrances had settled enough to create rough and potentially unsafe transitions into the home.

To restore the concrete surfaces, the crew installed PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam beneath the affected slabs to carefully raise and stabilize the patio, walkway, and entry areas. Once the concrete was brought back closer to proper alignment, the team sealed the joints and cracks using NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to help reduce future water intrusion beneath the slabs. Once completed, the project gave the homeowner safer walkways, smoother entry points into the home, and a much cleaner overall appearance around the property.

The homeowner in Merrill, WI contacted Sure-Dry after noticing sections of their wrap-around concrete patio and entry walkway had begun sinking and separating near the home’s entrance. During the inspection, the System Design Specialist identified soil movement and voids beneath the slabs contributing to settlement throughout the concrete surfaces. Uneven slabs around entryways are a common issue for homeowners searching for concrete lifting company services, slab jacking solutions, and concrete floor repair throughout northern Wisconsin.
To stabilize and restore the patio, the crew injected PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam beneath the affected concrete slabs. The expanding foam filled underlying voids while carefully lifting the patio back toward its original position. After lifting was completed, NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant was applied to joints and cracks to help prevent future water infiltration beneath the slabs. Compared to traditional mudjacking, PolyLevel provides a lighter-weight, faster-curing concrete leveling solution with minimal disruption to surrounding landscaping and entry areas.
The completed project improved both safety and appearance around the home’s entrance while helping extend the life of the existing patio system. The homeowner now has a more stable and properly supported concrete surface better equipped to handle Merrill’s seasonal moisture and freeze-thaw conditions.
