Before: A homeowner in Menasha, WI contacted Sure-Dry after noticing sections of their concrete driveway and front walkway had become uneven due to both sinking and heaving concrete. The shifting slabs created tripping hazards near the front entrance and caused water to collect in low areas throughout the driveway during rain and snowmelt. Like many homes throughout Winnebago County and the Fox Valley region, repeated freeze-thaw cycles and changing soil moisture conditions beneath the slabs had caused the concrete to rise and settle unevenly over time. The homeowner was searching for a concrete lifting company and concrete leveling contractor that could restore the existing concrete without the cost 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 and elevation changes beneath the concrete slabs. To restore the affected surfaces, the crew installed PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam beneath the settled sections to carefully lift and stabilize 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 reduce 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 movement common throughout Menasha and the Fox Valley area.

Before: A homeowner in Menasha, WI noticed settlement developing across multiple exterior concrete areas around the property, including the driveway, covered concrete porch, sidewalks, and walkways extending around the home and through the front yard toward the road. Uneven slabs and separating joints had started creating tripping hazards and drainage concerns, while also impacting the overall appearance of the property. Exterior concrete settlement like this is common throughout Wisconsin due to changing soil conditions, moisture movement, and seasonal freeze-thaw cycles beneath the slabs.
After: Our Sure-Dry team restored the settled concrete using PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to carefully lift and stabilize the affected slabs throughout the property. We also sealed the joints and cracks using NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to help reduce water intrusion beneath the concrete surfaces. Unlike traditional mudjacking or slab jacking methods, PolyLevel uses lightweight expanding foam that cures quickly and provides precise lifting control without adding additional weight below the slabs. Once completed, the driveway, walkways, sidewalks, and covered porch had a safer, more level, and more uniform appearance throughout the property.
