Before: Bumpy Entry, Sinking Slab

In Rhinelander, this homeowner was tired of the annoying bump every time they pulled into the garage. Over the years, the concrete at the garage apron had started to sink and settle, making for a rough entry and an uneven transition from the driveway to the garage. They wanted to take care of it now—before it got worse or caused damage to the vehicle or foundation.

After: Smooth, Solid & Level Again

We lifted the sunken slab using PolyLevel®, a quick-curing, high-strength foam that restores concrete without the mess of replacement. Then we sealed the joints with NexusPro®, a durable sealant that keeps water out and helps prevent future settling.

The result? A smooth, safe garage entry and one very happy homeowner.

Before

Before
A homeowner in Rhinelander, WI contacted Sure-Dry after noticing significant cracking and uneven settling across their garage floor. The slab had developed multiple wide cracks and sections had sunk, creating both a safety concern and difficulty using the space. These conditions are common in northern Wisconsin, where freeze-thaw cycles and soil movement lead many homeowners to search for concrete lifting, concrete leveling contractor, or even mudjacking as a potential fix. The garage floor showed clear signs of soil settlement beneath the slab, with voids forming that allowed the concrete to shift and deteriorate over time.

After
Sure-Dry corrected the issue using the PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to lift and stabilize the sunken sections of the garage floor with precision. Unlike traditional mudjacking or slab jacking, PolyLevel is lightweight, expands to fill voids, and cures quickly, making it a more durable and less invasive concrete lifting solution. Once the floor was restored to a level position, the team applied NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to seal the cracks and joints, preventing water from entering and causing future damage.
The result is a smooth, stable garage floor that is safer to use and protected against further settlement.

The homeowner now has a restored garage surface with improved durability and long-term performance.

Before
A homeowner in Rhinelander, WI reached out after noticing uneven concrete along the garage apron and the wraparound walkway leading to the front door of their log home. Over time, sections had settled and separated, creating tripping hazards and allowing water to drain back toward the home. These are common issues in northern Wisconsin, where freeze-thaw cycles and soil movement often lead homeowners to search for concrete lifting, concrete leveling contractor, or even mudjacking as a temporary fix. The visible sinking and joint separation indicated voids beneath the slabs, contributing to ongoing movement and deterioration.

After
Sure-Dry addressed the problem using the PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to lift and level the garage apron and walkway sections with precision. Unlike traditional mudjacking or slab jacking, PolyLevel is lightweight, expands to fill underlying voids, and cures quickly—making it a more efficient and long-lasting concrete lifting solution. Once the slabs were restored to proper elevation, the team applied NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to seal all joints and cracks, preventing water intrusion and helping protect against future soil erosion beneath the concrete.
The result is a smooth, level surface that improves both safety and drainage around the home.

The homeowner now has a stable, restored entry path and garage apron that complements the log home and provides long-term durability.
