Before & After Photos

The causes of concrete settlement and sinking are the same whether it's a driveway, walkway, patio, garage floor, or pool deck. As soil underneath a concrete slab shrinks, settles or washes away, this leaves empty space, or voids, beneath the slab. With the soil no longer supporting the slab, the concrete will sink, creating an uneven surface.  This was the case for the concrete walkway of this home in Malone, WI.  

To lift and level this home's walway, Sure-Dry Basement Systems installed their PolyLevel® Injection Foam system.  PolyLevel® is an expanding polyurethane foam that is injected beneath the concrete to fill the gaps caused by soil erosion and raise and stabilize the concrete surface.

Before: A homeowner in Malone, WI had a garage floor that was starting to show some serious wear from years of settling and cracking. Parts of the floor had dropped enough that the concrete was noticeably uneven when parking vehicles or walking through the garage. Cracks throughout the slab had also continued spreading over time, and moisture was starting to work its way into the open joints and damaged areas. Around Fond du Lac County, freeze-thaw weather and shifting soils underneath garages like this can slowly cause slabs to settle out of place year after year.
The homeowner wanted to get the garage floor leveled back out before the cracking and settlement became even worse. Replacing the entire floor would have been expensive and disruptive, so they started looking into concrete lifting and concrete leveling options instead.

After: Sure-Dry used PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to carefully lift and stabilize the settled garage floor slab. By injecting the foam beneath the concrete, the crew was able to fill the empty spaces underneath and raise the sunken sections back closer to level without tearing out the existing floor. Compared to traditional mudjacking methods, PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam is lightweight, cures quickly, and helps avoid adding extra stress to already shifting soils beneath the slab.
After the lifting work was complete, the cracks and joints were sealed using NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to help keep moisture from working back underneath the floor. By the end of the project, the garage floor looked much cleaner, felt more solid underfoot, and had far smoother transitions throughout the slab.
