Before & After Photos

Before

A homeowner in New London, WI was dealing with a settling concrete patio along the back of their home. The patio provided access to both a rear entrance door and a sliding glass door, making the uneven concrete more than just a cosmetic concern. As the slabs settled, uneven areas developed near these frequently used entrances, creating trip hazards and allowing water to collect or move toward the home.

Concrete settlement is common throughout Wisconsin as soils beneath slabs experience moisture changes, erosion and repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Traditional mudjacking can require larger injection holes and adds significant weight beneath an already-settling slab, so the homeowner wanted a less invasive approach to restoring the patio.

After

Sure-Dry used PolyLevel® to lift and level the settled patio slabs. Small injection holes were drilled through the concrete so expanding polyurethane could be placed beneath the patio, filling underlying voids while carefully raising the slabs around the rear entrance and sliding glass door. PolyLevel is lightweight, requires smaller injection holes than traditional mudjacking and cures quickly, allowing the repaired area to return to service with minimal disruption.

Once the slabs were properly positioned, NexusPro® was applied to the joints and cracks. This flexible sealant helps reduce water intrusion beneath the concrete, where additional soil erosion and settlement could occur.

The finished patio is more level, the cracks and joints are protected, and the homeowner now has safer, smoother access to both backyard entrances.

Before

A homeowner in New London, WI had settling concrete throughout their driveway and along the sidewalk leading to the front of the home. As individual slabs moved, uneven transitions and cracks developed across these frequently used areas, creating noticeable trip hazards and taking away from the appearance of the property.

In Wisconsin, changes in soil moisture along with repeated freeze-thaw cycles can cause the soils supporting concrete to settle, shrink or wash away. This can create voids beneath the slabs, leaving sections of the driveway and sidewalk without the support they need.

After

Sure-Dry used PolyLevel® to lift and stabilize the settled driveway and sidewalk slabs. Through small injection holes, lightweight polyurethane foam was placed beneath the concrete, where it expanded to fill underlying voids and carefully raise the slabs toward their proper positions.

Unlike traditional mudjacking, PolyLevel requires smaller injection holes, adds very little additional weight to the underlying soils and cures quickly, allowing the repaired concrete to return to service sooner.

After leveling was completed, NexusPro® was used to seal cracks and joints throughout the repaired areas. The flexible sealant helps keep water from entering beneath the slabs and contributing to additional soil erosion and settlement.

The completed repair created a smoother, more stable driveway and a safer sidewalk leading to the home's front entrance while giving the concrete a cleaner, more finished appearance.

Before

Older concrete around this New London, WI home had experienced years of settlement, leaving several driveway slabs and the concrete near a frequently used side entrance noticeably sunken. The uneven transitions created bumps and trip hazards while also affecting how smoothly the homeowner could travel between the driveway and side door.

As concrete ages, the condition of the soil underneath becomes especially important. Wisconsin's seasonal moisture changes and repeated freeze-thaw cycles can cause supporting soils to shrink, settle or erode. Once voids develop beneath a slab, the weight of the concrete can cause it to sink even though the concrete itself may still be in good enough condition to save.

After

Rather than removing and replacing the older concrete, Sure-Dry used PolyLevel® to lift and stabilize the affected slabs. Small injection holes were strategically drilled through the driveway and side entrance concrete, allowing lightweight polyurethane to be injected into the voids below.

As PolyLevel expanded, it filled those empty spaces and provided controlled lifting pressure to bring the sunken slabs closer to their proper positions. Compared with traditional mudjacking, PolyLevel requires smaller injection holes, adds significantly less weight to already-compromised soils and cures quickly.

The repair improved the uneven transitions throughout the driveway and near the side entrance while allowing the homeowner to keep their existing concrete instead of replacing slabs that still had useful life remaining.
