Before & After Photos

Before:
A homeowner in Nekoosa had settlement along the walkway to the front door and at the garage threshold. Toe-stubbing lips formed at panel joints, step heights were uneven at the entry, and the slab in front of the garage dropped enough to leave a gap at the door seal—letting water and road salt creep under the concrete.

After:
We injected PolyLevel® beneath the settled walkway panels and the slab in front of the garage, filling voids and lifting in controlled increments to restore smooth transitions, uniform step heights, and a tight seal at the garage door. Small (penny-size) injection ports were patched for a clean finish.

The approach is now level, safer to use, and pitched to move water away from the home.

Before
A homeowner in Nekoosa, WI contacted Sure-Dry after noticing their driveway and walkway had begun to settle unevenly. The concrete slabs had shifted, creating height differences, cracks, and gaps that posed both safety concerns and reduced curb appeal. With Wisconsin’s freeze-thaw cycles and soil movement, these conditions are common and often lead to the need for concrete lifting and concrete leveling.

Water was also beginning to collect in the low areas and enter the open joints, increasing the risk of further soil erosion beneath the slabs. The homeowner was looking for a trusted concrete lifting company and contractor to restore the surfaces and prevent ongoing damage.

After
Our team used PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to lift and level the settled driveway and walkway. Through small, strategically drilled holes, the expanding foam was injected beneath the concrete to raise the slabs back into position while stabilizing the underlying soil.

To complete the repair and protect the concrete long-term, we applied NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to all joints and cracks. This flexible sealant helps prevent water intrusion, reducing the risk of future washout and movement.

Unlike traditional mudjacking (also known as slab jacking), which uses a heavier material that can add stress to already unstable soils, PolyLevel is lightweight, cures quickly, and provides a more durable solution. Combined with NexusPro, this approach addresses both the structural issue and long-term protection for concrete floor repair and concrete step repair needs.

The driveway and walkway are now level, sealed, and safe for everyday use.
The homeowner can confidently use their outdoor spaces knowing the concrete is stabilized and protected against future conditions.

Before

The homeowner in Nekoosa, WI had begun noticing settlement throughout their driveway, covered porch, and connecting walkway. Uneven concrete surfaces, widening joints, and developing trip hazards were making it more difficult to safely navigate the areas around the home. Water was also collecting in the low spots, increasing the potential for soil erosion beneath the slabs. Many homeowners facing these issues research concrete lifting solutions and compare them to mudjacking, a traditional slab jacking method that relies on a heavy cement-based mixture to raise settled concrete.

After

Sure-Dry restored the driveway, covered porch, and walkway using PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam. The lightweight foam was injected beneath the affected concrete to fill underlying voids, stabilize the supporting soils, and carefully lift each section back toward its intended elevation. Following the concrete leveling process, NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant was applied to seal cracks and joints, helping prevent future water intrusion beneath the slabs. Unlike mudjacking, PolyLevel cures quickly, requires smaller injection holes, adds less weight to the underlying soils, and provides a durable solution for homeowners seeking professional concrete lifting and concrete leveling services in Wood County.

The concrete patio of this home in Arpin, WI was sunken, uneven due to soil erosion underneath the slabs.

Sure-Dry Basement Systems was able to lift and level this patio with their PolyLevel® Injection Foam system. PolyLevel® is an expanding polyurethane foam that is injected beneath the concrete to fill the gaps caused by soil erosion and raise and stabilize the concrete surface.

Before:
The homeowners in Grand Marsh were dealing with uneven and settling concrete slabs, resulting in trip hazards and poor water drainage around their property. During inspection, the slabs showed soil settlement, separation at the joints, and widening cracks caused by seasonal freeze–thaw cycles and sandy local soils losing support over time. These conditions were allowing water to penetrate the base layer, worsening settlement.

After:
Sure-Dry lifted and stabilized the sinking concrete using PolyLevel®, restoring proper elevation and support beneath the slabs. Once the surface was level, NexusPro® joint sealant was applied to protect slab edges from water intrusion and prevent further erosion.
The repaired concrete now provides a safe, level walking surface and long-lasting protection against Grand Marsh’s seasonal weather patterns.
