In Marinette, WI, a homeowner faced difficulty with a high front step that made entering the home a challenge. As shown in the before photo, the step's height was not only an inconvenience but also a potential hazard. After reaching out to us, we swiftly addressed the issue using our PolyLevel and NexusPro products, visible in the after photo. Our solutions not only improved accessibility but also enhanced the safety and appeal of the home's entrance, providing a reliable and long-lasting fix that meets our mission of offering a remarkable customer experience.
Before
The homeowner in Marinette, WI had a settling garage apron that created an uneven transition between the driveway and garage floor, raising concerns about trip hazards, water drainage, and long-term concrete damage. Although the site visit occurred during winter with light snow cover, elevation checks using a level and precise measurements clearly confirmed slab settlement and downward slope toward the garage—common in northern Wisconsin due to freeze-thaw cycles and soil movement.
After
Sure-Dry completed the repair in spring by lifting and stabilizing the garage apron using PolyLevel® to restore proper elevation and alignment. Once the slab was brought back to grade, joints and cracks were sealed with NexusPro® to help prevent surface water from penetrating beneath the concrete. The repair corrected the sinking apron without replacement and reestablished proper drainage away from the garage.
The homeowner now has a level, secure garage apron designed to perform reliably through seasonal weather changes.
Before
The homeowner in Marinette, WI had a settled sidewalk leading up to the home, creating an uneven walking surface and a noticeable drop near the concrete patio located beneath a roof overhang. The settlement posed a trip hazard and allowed water to collect and drain back toward the foundation. Limited access from the roof overhang made full concrete replacement impractical, while Wisconsin freeze-thaw cycles continued to worsen the uneven slabs.
After
Sure-Dry stabilized and lifted the affected sidewalk slabs using PolyLevel® to restore proper elevation and create a smooth, even walking surface. The precision lifting process corrected the settlement without disturbing the adjacent patio or the roof structure above. Proper alignment improved drainage away from the home and eliminated the trip hazard without the need for removal or replacement.
The homeowner now has a level, safe sidewalk that complements the patio area and performs reliably in all seasons.
Before
The homeowner in Marinette, WI had a severely cracked and sunken concrete driveway along with an uneven walkway leading to the front door. The settlement created multiple trip hazards and caused improper drainage toward the home, while widening cracks allowed water to reach the soil below. These conditions are common in northern Wisconsin where freeze-thaw cycles and soil movement accelerate concrete deterioration.
After
Sure-Dry lifted and stabilized the settled concrete using PolyLevel® to restore proper elevation across the driveway and walkway. Once the slabs were realigned, cracks and joints were sealed with NexusPro® to help prevent moisture intrusion and protect the base material beneath the concrete. The repair eliminated trip hazards, improved drainage, and restored safe access to the home without the need for full replacement.
The homeowner now has a level, secure driveway and walkway designed to withstand seasonal weather conditions.
Before
The homeowner in Marinette, WI noticed cracking developing in the garage floor along with subtle unevenness that suggested the concrete slab was beginning to settle. As the cracks widened, concerns grew about continued movement, vehicle loading stress, and long-term damage to the slab. In northern Wisconsin, freeze-thaw cycles and soil settlement beneath garage slabs commonly contribute to early cracking and loss of support.
After
Sure-Dry stabilized and lifted the garage floor using PolyLevel® to address the underlying soil settlement and restore proper slab support. The high-density polyurethane was injected beneath the concrete to fill voids and reestablish a stable base, helping stop further movement and reduce stress on the slab. This minimally invasive repair corrected the issue without removing or replacing the garage floor.
The homeowner now has a stabilized garage slab designed to resist further cracking and perform reliably through seasonal conditions.
