Before & After Photos

The causes of concrete settlement and sinking are the same whether it's a driveway, walkway, patio, garage floor, or pool deck. As soil underneath a concrete slab shrinks, settles or washes away, this leaves empty space, or voids, beneath the slab. With the soil no longer supporting the slab, the concrete will sink, creating an uneven surface.

This was the case for the front concrete stoop of this home in Plover, WI.  

To lift and level this home's front stoop, Sure-Dry Basement Systems used 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:
A homeowner in Plover had a settled front covered porch slab. The porch had sunk at the outer edge, creating an uneven step at the entry, a toe-stub lip near the walkway, and small gaps opening along the siding and column bases. During rains, water lingered on the slab and worked into open joints, pushing freeze–thaw damage each season.

After:
We injected PolyLevel® beneath the porch to fill voids and gently lift the slab back to a level, properly pitched position. We then sealed perimeter joints and cracks with NexusPro®, installing backer where needed and finishing with color-match sand for a clean, finished look.

The entry is now level with safer, more uniform step heights, improved drainage off the porch, and sealed joints to help prevent future settlement.

Before

The homeowner in Plover, WI was dealing with settlement and deterioration across several concrete surfaces, including the driveway, front walkway, and a concrete patio area located outside the front entrance of their log home. Over time, portions of the concrete had settled unevenly, creating trip hazards and affecting the overall appearance of the property. The most significant damage was found along the outer edge of the front patio, where severe cracking had developed as the slab shifted and settled.

To prepare for the repairs, the homeowner carefully removed a custom log railing that bordered the front patio area, allowing access to the affected concrete. Wanting to preserve the existing concrete and avoid the expense of replacement, they contacted a trusted concrete lifting contractor to evaluate the problem and recommend a long-lasting solution.

After

Following a detailed inspection, Sure-Dry lifted and stabilized the settled driveway, front walkway, and front entry patio using PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam. The expanding foam was strategically injected beneath the slabs to fill underlying voids and restore the concrete to a safer, more uniform elevation. Unlike traditional mudjacking, also known as slab jacking, PolyLevel is lightweight, cures quickly, and provides reliable long-term support without placing excessive weight on the supporting soils.

After the lifting process was completed, the team sealed the cracks and joints with NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to help prevent water infiltration and future soil erosion beneath the slabs. The repaired concrete surfaces now provide improved safety, better drainage, and enhanced curb appeal while preserving the character of the homeowner's log home. The homeowner can now reinstall the custom log railing knowing the concrete beneath it has been properly stabilized and protected.

The homeowner in Plover, WI noticed settlement developing along the concrete garage apron and the small walkway leading around the garage to the side service door. As the slabs shifted over time, uneven surfaces began to form, creating trip hazards and making the transition into and around the garage less safe and convenient. Water was also collecting in low spots, increasing concerns about further deterioration and settlement.

Looking to correct the problem before it became more severe, the homeowner contacted a trusted concrete lifting company for an evaluation. They wanted to restore the existing concrete without the expense and disruption of replacement while improving the safety and appearance of these frequently used areas.

After

Following a detailed inspection, Sure-Dry lifted and stabilized the settled garage apron and side-service-door walkway using PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam. The expanding foam was carefully injected beneath the slabs to fill voids and restore the concrete to a more uniform elevation. Unlike traditional mudjacking, also known as slab jacking, PolyLevel is lightweight, cures quickly, and provides long-term stabilization without placing additional stress 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 risk of future settlement. The completed project restored safer access into the garage and along the side walkway while improving drainage and enhancing the overall appearance of the home's exterior.
