Concrete Repair in Summit Lake, WI

Before

After

Before The concrete pad outside this pole barn-style home in Summit Lake, WI had settled over time, creating uneven surfaces near both the garage door and entrance door. The sunken concrete presented a tripping hazard and made it more difficult to move equipment and vehicles in and out of the building. As is common in northern Wisconsin, seasonal moisture changes and soil movement beneath the slab contributed to the settlement, leading the homeowner to search for concrete lifting and concrete leveling solutions instead of a full slab replacement.

After Sure-Dry restored the concrete pad using the PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to carefully lift and level the settled sections. The joints and cracks were then sealed with NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to help prevent water intrusion and further soil erosion beneath the slab. Unlike traditional mudjacking, sometimes referred to as slab jacking, PolyLevel uses lightweight, high-density foam that cures quickly, adds minimal weight to the underlying soil, and provides long-lasting support. The completed repair improved safety, restored proper access to the garage and entrance door, and enhanced the appearance of the property.

Concrete Repair Completed on Patio in New London, WI

Before

After

Before: A homeowner in New London, WI noticed the concrete covered patio near the home’s entrance door had started to settle and become uneven over time. Sections of the patio slab had shifted out of alignment, creating tripping hazards and causing water to collect near the entry area during heavy rain and seasonal snowmelt. The cracking and separation between the concrete joints continued worsening as moisture worked beneath the slab through Wisconsin’s freeze-thaw cycles, a common issue throughout Waupaca County where shifting soils gradually weaken support beneath exterior concrete surfaces.
The homeowner began researching concrete lifting, concrete leveling, and concrete patio repair solutions after learning that traditional mudjacking and slab jacking methods often use heavier materials that can place additional stress beneath already unstable soils.
After: Sure-Dry repaired the settled patio slab using PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to carefully raise and stabilize the covered concrete patio near the home’s entrance door. This advanced concrete lifting system is installed through small injection ports and expands beneath the slab to fill voids and restore stable support beneath the concrete surface. Compared to traditional mudjacking methods, PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam is lightweight, fast-curing, and designed to resist future washout beneath the slab.
To help protect the repaired concrete from future moisture intrusion, the crew also sealed the patio joints and cracks using NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant. This durable sealant helps reduce water penetration beneath the slab, helping minimize future settlement and deterioration over time. The completed concrete leveling project restored safer access to the home’s entrance while improving the appearance and long-term performance of the covered patio area.
