Before & After Photos

Before: A homeowner in Green Bay, WI had a small backyard concrete patio and walkway leading to the pool that had started sinking and shifting over the years. The patio slabs had become uneven in spots, and the walkway heading toward the pool area had developed noticeable low sections that made it awkward to walk across barefoot during the summer months. Water was also starting to sit in some of the settled areas after rain, which only continued making the problem worse through Northeast Wisconsin’s freeze-thaw seasons.

Like many homes around Brown County, the soil beneath the concrete had slowly settled over time from changing moisture conditions and seasonal ground movement. The homeowner wanted to fix the uneven concrete around the backyard and pool area without tearing everything out and starting over.

After: Sure-Dry used PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to lift and stabilize the backyard patio and walkway leading to the pool. By injecting the foam beneath the slabs, the crew was able to fill the empty spaces underneath and carefully raise the settled concrete back closer to level. Compared to traditional mudjacking methods, PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam is lightweight, cures quickly, and works especially well for smaller patio and poolside concrete areas where precise lifting is important.
Once the project was complete, the backyard patio and pool walkway looked much cleaner and more even, and the homeowner no longer had to deal with the awkward low spots and uneven transitions around the pool area. The lifting also helped improve drainage and reduce standing water along the concrete surfaces.

Before

The concrete sidewalk leading to this building entrance in Green Bay, WI had settled over time, creating uneven slabs that presented a tripping hazard for visitors and employees entering the facility. The sinking concrete also allowed water to collect in low areas, increasing the potential for further erosion beneath the sidewalk. Wisconsin's freeze-thaw cycles and changing soil moisture had contributed to the settlement, making professional concrete leveling the most cost-effective alternative to replacement.

After

Our crew evaluated the amount of settlement and injected PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam beneath the affected sidewalk panels to accurately lift and stabilize the concrete. Unlike traditional mudjacking (slab jacking), which uses a heavy cement slurry that can contribute to future settlement, PolyLevel is lightweight, expands to fill hidden voids, cures in minutes, and provides long-lasting support without adding unnecessary weight to the underlying soils. The sidewalk was carefully restored to create a smooth, safe transition into the building entrance, improving both accessibility and appearance while extending the life of the existing concrete.

Before

This Allouez, WI homeowner noticed sections of their concrete driveway had settled, leaving uneven slabs that affected both the appearance of the home and the safety of anyone walking or driving across the surface. Water had worked its way beneath the concrete over time, washing out supporting soils—a common issue in Wisconsin where repeated freeze-thaw cycles accelerate settlement. Instead of replacing the driveway, they chose a proven concrete repair solution using PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam and NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant. Unlike traditional mudjacking, PolyLevel uses lightweight expanding polyurethane foam that won't place additional stress on the underlying soils, cures quickly, and provides precise slab lifting.

After

Our crew measured the slab elevations and identified the areas where soil erosion had allowed the driveway to settle. Small injection ports were drilled, and PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam was injected beneath the concrete to fill the voids and carefully return the slabs to their proper height. Once the lifting was complete, all joints and cracks were sealed with NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to help prevent future water infiltration beneath the driveway. The homeowner now has a smooth, safer driveway with improved curb appeal and a long-lasting repair built to withstand northeastern Wisconsin's changing seasons.

The stability of any concrete surface is dependent on the soils beneath it. The weight of concrete and what it supports, combined with natural soil erosion, can lead to sunken and uneven concrete surfaces and dangerous cracks, like this commercial concrete walkway in Bellevue, WI.  

To lift and level concrete surfaces, Sure-Dry Basement Systems uses their patented PolyLevel® 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.

To repair cracks in concrete surfaces, Sure-Dry uses a breakthrough technology only available at Sure-Dry called NexusPro.  NexusPro is a silicone-based sealant for joints and cracks specially formulated to provide long-lasting flexibility and to stand up to harsh weather conditions. Unlike traditional polyurethane sealants, NexusPro resists UV rays, which means it won't crack, bubble or dry out. That means a single application can seal the joints and cracks in your concrete driveway, patio, pool deck or sidewalk for years to come, protecting it from damage caused by soil compaction and washout.

The sidewalk leading up to the entrance of this home had sunk almost 8" from where it should have been, causing a trip hazard and making it hard to use the front porch. Sure-Dry permanently lifted and leveled the sidewalk back up to its original position using our PolyLevel Foam Injection System.
