Before & After Photos

Before

The concrete driveway at this Abbotsford, WI home had significant settlement along with extensive cracking throughout the slabs. Several of the cracks had opened considerably, leaving the driveway with an uneven, deteriorated appearance and providing multiple pathways for water to get beneath the concrete.

These conditions can feed into each other. Once cracks open, rain and melting snow can reach the supporting soils below. Soil erosion, changing moisture levels, and Wisconsin’s repeated freeze-thaw cycles can then create additional voids and movement beneath the slabs.

Sure-Dry used PolyLevel® to address the settlement. Unlike traditional mudjacking, which pumps a heavy cement-based slurry beneath the concrete, PolyLevel uses lightweight expanding polyurethane foam. The material is injected through small holes to fill voids and precisely lift the slabs while adding very little additional weight to the underlying soil.

After

After the driveway slabs were lifted and stabilized with PolyLevel, this project required an extensive application of NexusPro® because of the amount of cracking throughout the driveway.

The crew sealed the numerous cracks and joints with NexusPro, creating a noticeable transformation across the surface of the driveway. Beyond improving its finished appearance, sealing such a large amount of cracking helps reduce the amount of water that can travel through those openings and reach the soils beneath the slabs.

With the concrete lifted and the extensive cracking sealed, the existing driveway now has improved support, smoother transitions, and better protection against water intrusion and future settlement.

Before:
This Medford homeowner had uneven concrete along the sidewalk and driveway that was starting to show signs of wear — cracks, shifting slabs, and gaps between sections. Not only was it a tripping hazard, but water was beginning to drain the wrong direction and creep toward the foundation.

After:
We used PolyLevel® to lift and level the sunken slabs, restoring a smooth, safe walking and driving surface. Then we sealed the joints with NexusPro®, a flexible, long-lasting sealant that prevents water from seeping between slabs and causing more erosion or cracking.

Now the sidewalk and driveway are level, sealed, and protected for years to come — and the home has better curb appeal and water control to boot.

Before
A homeowner in Medford, WI was dealing with settled and uneven concrete affecting the garage floor, concrete apron in front of the garage, and front walkway. As the supporting soils beneath the slabs settled and developed voids, portions of the concrete began to sink and shift. The resulting uneven transitions created potential trip hazards along the walkway and rough transitions where vehicles traveled between the driveway, apron, and garage. Cracks and open joints also provided pathways for water to reach the soils below, where Wisconsin’s seasonal moisture and freeze-thaw cycles could contribute to continued settlement.
After
Sure-Dry restored the affected concrete using PolyLevel® High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam. Small injection points allowed the lightweight polyurethane foam to expand beneath the garage floor, apron, and front walkway, filling underlying voids while carefully lifting and stabilizing the slabs. NexusPro® Concrete Joint Sealant was then applied to appropriate cracks and joints to help limit water infiltration and protect the supporting soils. Unlike traditional mudjacking, or slab jacking, which pumps a heavy cement-based slurry beneath the concrete, PolyLevel uses lightweight expanding foam, smaller injection holes, and allows for precise concrete leveling. The completed concrete lifting project provided the homeowner with a more stable garage floor, smoother vehicle transitions at the apron, and a safer, more even front walkway.

Before
A homeowner in Medford, WI was dealing with settled and uneven concrete affecting the slab directly in front of the garage and the sidewalk running along the side of the house beneath an overhang to the home's main entrance. As the supporting soils beneath these slabs settled and developed voids, sections of concrete began to sink and shift. The uneven sidewalk was especially concerning because it served as the homeowner's primary walking route into the house. Open joints and cracks could also allow water beneath the slabs, where Central Wisconsin's seasonal moisture and freeze-thaw cycles can contribute to further soil movement and settlement.
After
Sure-Dry restored the affected concrete using PolyLevel® High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam. The polyurethane foam was injected through small, strategically placed holes to fill voids beneath the garage approach slab and side sidewalk while providing controlled concrete lifting and stabilization. NexusPro® Concrete Joint Sealant was then applied to appropriate cracks and joints to help prevent water from reaching and eroding the supporting soils. Traditional mudjacking, also called slab jacking, uses a heavier cement-based slurry to raise concrete. PolyLevel provides a lightweight alternative with smaller injection holes, precise lifting, and less additional weight placed on the soils below. The completed concrete leveling project provided a smoother surface in front of the garage and safer, more stable access along the sidewalk to the home's main entrance.

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.
