Sunken and Failing Concrete Driveway Repaired in Green Bay, WI

Before

After

Before: A homeowner in Green Bay, WI was getting tired of dealing with a driveway and sidewalk that seemed to get worse every year. Several slabs had settled and shifted enough that the concrete was badly uneven, especially along the sidewalk leading toward the home. Grass and weeds were growing through the seams, water was settling in the low spots, and the cracked joints made the whole area look worn down. Around Brown County, this kind of settling is pretty common after years of freeze-thaw weather and changing moisture under the slabs.
The uneven concrete had also started becoming a real tripping hazard. Some sections had dropped enough that walking across the driveway and sidewalk wasn’t smooth anymore, especially near the joints where the slabs had separated over time.

After: Sure-Dry lifted and stabilized the settled concrete using PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam throughout the driveway and sidewalk areas. The foam was injected beneath the slabs to fill the empty spaces underneath and carefully raise the concrete back toward level without needing to tear everything out and replace it. Compared to older mudjacking methods, PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam is lighter, cures fast, and doesn’t put extra stress on the soils below the concrete.
After the slabs were lifted, the crew sealed the open joints and cracks using NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to help keep water from getting back underneath the concrete. Once the project was finished, the driveway and sidewalk looked cleaner, lined up much better, and were a lot safer to walk across without the uneven edges and weeds taking over the seams.

Concrete Driveway Repaired in Green Bay, WI

Before

After

Before

The homeowner in Green Bay, WI contacted Sure-Dry after noticing significant settlement and deterioration throughout several concrete surfaces around the home. The driveway, front walkway, and double step leading to the front porch had developed severe cracking, uneven sections, and large gaps where grass and weeds were growing through the concrete. These conditions created safety concerns, reduced curb appeal, and allowed water to penetrate beneath the slabs, contributing to further settlement. Homeowners searching for concrete lifting, concrete leveling, concrete step repair, or concrete floor repair solutions often experience these same symptoms as soil movement and Wisconsin's freeze-thaw cycles impact exterior concrete.

The damage had progressed to the point where replacement appeared to be the only option. However, the homeowner wanted to explore alternatives that could restore the existing concrete without the cost, disruption, and lengthy installation process associated with complete replacement.

After

After a thorough inspection, the Sure-Dry team recommended lifting and stabilizing the settled concrete using PolyLevel® High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam and sealing the cracks and joints with NexusPro® Concrete Joint Sealant. PolyLevel is an advanced alternative to traditional mudjacking, sometimes referred to as slab jacking, which uses a heavy cement-based slurry to raise concrete. Unlike mudjacking, PolyLevel is lightweight, cures quickly, requires smaller injection holes, and provides precise lifting while placing less weight on the supporting soils. NexusPro was applied to the existing cracks and joints to help prevent future water intrusion and deterioration.

The driveway, front walkway, and front porch steps were carefully lifted back toward their original position, creating a safer and more attractive entrance to the home. The completed concrete lifting and concrete leveling project eliminated major tripping hazards, restored the appearance of the property, and provided the homeowner with a long-lasting solution designed to withstand Green Bay's changing weather conditions.
