This homeowner in Neenah, WI contacted Sure-Dry after their front sidewalk had settled several inches, creating a large drop where it met the front steps. The concrete had also begun sloping away from the house, causing water to collect in low spots instead of draining properly.
The uneven slabs had become a serious trip hazard for family and guests, and with each Wisconsin freeze/thaw season, the settlement continued to get worse. Open joints and cracks were also allowing water to seep beneath the concrete, washing away the supporting soil and accelerating the problem.
The homeowner wanted to restore the sidewalk before it became an even bigger safety issue or required complete replacement.
Our team restored the sidewalk using PolyLevel Injection Foam, carefully lifting and leveling the sunken slabs back toward their original position without tearing out the existing concrete. The expanding foam filled the voids beneath the sidewalk while stabilizing the supporting soil for a long-lasting repair.
Once the sidewalk was level again, we sealed all cracks and joints using NexusPro Joint Sealant. This flexible concrete joint sealant helps keep water from getting underneath the slabs, reducing future soil washout and helping protect against additional settling caused by Wisconsin's harsh weather.
Compared to traditional mudjacking or concrete replacement, PolyLevel provides a faster, cleaner, and more precise repair while minimizing disruption to the homeowner.
Now the sidewalk is:

Before:
This pool deck in Neenah, WI had settled unevenly over time, leaving sections of concrete sunken around the pool area. The uneven slabs created trip hazards, standing water concerns, and open joints where water could seep underneath and continue washing out the soil below.
Like many concrete surfaces in Wisconsin, freeze/thaw cycles and moisture movement had gradually caused the slabs to sink and separate.
After:
We fixed the problem using PolyLevel® concrete lifting foam to raise and level the sunken sections of the pool deck without tearing out or replacing the concrete. Once everything was back in position, we sealed the cracks and joints using NexusPro® joint sealant to help prevent water intrusion and future settlement.
PolyLevel is a lightweight, long-lasting alternative to traditional mudjacking that provides precise lifting and fast cure times, allowing the homeowner to use the area again quickly.
Now the pool deck is:
✔️ Level
✔️ Safe to walk on
✔️ Better protected against future water damage
With the concrete repaired before summer, this homeowner is now ready to enjoy pool season with a safer, cleaner-looking outdoor space.

Before: A homeowner in Neenah, WI contacted Sure-Dry after noticing sections of their concrete driveway and front walkway had become uneven and settled over time. The sinking slabs created tripping hazards near the front entrance and caused water to collect in low areas during heavy rain and snowmelt. Like many homes throughout Winnebago County and the Fox Valley region, repeated freeze-thaw cycles and shifting soils beneath the concrete had caused the slabs to crack and sink. The homeowner was searching for a concrete lifting company and concrete leveling contractor that could restore the existing concrete without the expense and disruption of replacement.
Traditional mudjacking, also referred to as slab jacking, can place additional weight on already unstable soils and often requires larger drill holes throughout the slab surface. The homeowner wanted a long-lasting concrete floor repair and concrete step repair solution that would improve safety, drainage, and curb appeal around the property.
After: Sure-Dry inspected the driveway and front walkway and identified multiple settlement areas beneath the affected concrete slabs. To restore the surfaces, the crew installed PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam beneath the settled sections to carefully lift and level the concrete back into position. Unlike traditional mudjacking methods, PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam is lightweight, cures quickly, and helps reduce additional stress on weakened soils beneath the slab. Once the lifting process was completed, the joints and cracks were sealed using NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to help prevent future water intrusion and soil washout beneath the driveway and walkway.
The completed repair restored a safer and more uniform concrete surface while helping protect the slabs against continued settlement common throughout Neenah and the Fox Valley area.

The homeowner in Neenah, WI had noticed their front sidewalk and concrete steps leading to the front entrance had settled over time, creating uneven surfaces and increasing the risk of trips and falls. Gaps had developed between the sidewalk panels and steps, while water was beginning to collect in the low areas. Like many properties in northeastern Wisconsin, repeated freeze-thaw cycles and shifting soils had allowed voids to form beneath the concrete. Wanting to avoid the cost of replacement, the homeowner contacted Sure-Dry, a trusted concrete leveling contractor, for a permanent repair solution.
Our crew carefully evaluated the amount of settlement before injecting PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam beneath the front sidewalk and concrete steps. Unlike traditional mudjacking (slab jacking), which uses a heavy cement slurry that can contribute to future settlement, PolyLevel is lightweight, expands to fill hidden voids, cures in minutes, and provides long-lasting stabilization with minimal disruption. Once the sidewalk and steps were restored to their proper elevation, we sealed the joints and cracks with NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to help prevent water infiltration beneath the slabs and reduce the potential for future soil erosion. The homeowner now enjoys a safer, smoother entrance with improved curb appeal and durable protection for their existing concrete.
