Severely Sunken Concrete Walkway Repaired in De Pere, WI

Before

After

Before The concrete sidewalk leading to the front entrance of this De Pere, WI home had settled and become uneven over time, creating noticeable height differences between slabs. The sinking concrete created tripping hazards near the front of the home and allowed water to collect along portions of the walkway during rain and seasonal snowmelt. Problems like these are common for homeowners searching for concrete leveling, concrete lifting contractor services, and concrete sidewalk repair throughout Brown County due to soil movement and Wisconsin freeze-thaw conditions.
The homeowner wanted to restore the sidewalk without replacing the existing concrete and preferred a long-term solution over traditional mudjacking methods that can add additional weight beneath unstable soils.

After Sure-Dry restored the settled sidewalk using PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to carefully lift and stabilize the affected slabs. The lightweight expanding foam was injected beneath the sidewalk to fill voids and raise the concrete back toward its original position with minimal disruption to the surrounding landscaping. Unlike traditional slab jacking or mudjacking methods that rely on heavier grout materials, PolyLevel provides a lightweight concrete lifting solution that cures quickly and offers precise slab stabilization.
To help protect the repaired sidewalk from future movement, the joints and cracks were sealed using NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant. This helped reduce water intrusion beneath the slabs and minimize future soil washout around the walkway. The completed repair improved both safety and curb appeal while helping extend the lifespan of the existing concrete sidewalk.

Before

We also applied NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to seal the joints and cracks and help reduce water intrusion beneath the driveway.

Concrete Driveway Repair in De Pere, WI

Before

After

Before: A homeowner in De Pere, WI had started noticing sections of the driveway and front walkway were sinking and shifting more every year. The driveway had developed uneven spots and rough transitions, while the walkway leading to the front door had become unlevel enough that it was turning into a tripping hazard. Cracks between the slabs had also continued opening up, allowing water to get underneath the concrete and slowly make the settling worse over time.
Like many homes around Brown County, years of freeze-thaw weather and changing moisture conditions beneath the slabs had caused the supporting soil to settle. The homeowner wanted to fix the uneven concrete and clean up the appearance of the front entrance without having to completely replace the driveway and walkway.

After: Sure-Dry used PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to carefully lift and stabilize the settled driveway and front walkway slabs. By injecting the foam beneath the concrete, the crew was able to fill the voids underneath and raise the affected sections back closer to level without tearing out the existing concrete. Compared to traditional mudjacking methods, PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam is lightweight, cures quickly, and works well for correcting uneven driveway and walkway surfaces with minimal disruption.
Once the lifting work was completed, the cracks and joints were sealed using NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to help keep water from getting back underneath the slabs. By the end of the project, the driveway had smoother transitions, the walkway to the front door was much safer to walk across, and the whole front of the home looked cleaner and more level overall.

Sunken Concrete Driveway Repair in De Pere, WI

Before

After

Before

The homeowner in De Pere, WI had noticed the concrete driveway and front sidewalk had begun to settle, creating uneven slabs that affected both the appearance of the home and the safety of those using the walkway. Water was beginning to collect in the low areas, increasing the potential for soil erosion beneath the concrete. During our inspection, our concrete leveling specialist confirmed the slabs remained structurally sound, but soil settlement beneath the concrete had created voids that allowed sections to sink. This is a common issue throughout northeastern Wisconsin where freeze-thaw cycles and changing moisture conditions contribute to concrete movement. Rather than replacing the concrete, we recommended lifting and permanently stabilizing the existing slabs.

After

Our crew restored the driveway and front sidewalk using PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to precisely raise the settled slabs back toward their original position. Unlike traditional mudjacking (slab jacking), PolyLevel is lightweight, waterproof, cures in minutes, and provides long-term stabilization without placing additional weight on the supporting soils. Once the concrete was properly aligned, we sealed the joints and cracks with NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to help prevent water from infiltrating beneath the slabs and causing future erosion or settlement. The homeowner now has a safer driveway and front sidewalk with improved curb appeal and a durable concrete repair solution designed to withstand Wisconsin's changing seasons.
