Before:
A homeowner in Suamico, WI had two settling sidewalk sections leading up to their home, creating uneven surfaces and visible trip hazards. Seasonal freeze–thaw cycles and moisture-sensitive soils had caused the slabs to sink at different rates, leaving gaps, tilted panels, and poor drainage along the walkway. The settlement worsened each year as voids formed beneath the concrete.
After:
Sure-Dry lifted and restored both sidewalks using PolyLevel®, injecting the high-density structural foam beneath the settled slabs to raise them back to their original elevation. The material expanded to fill voids and stabilize the soil, creating a smooth, level surface with long-term support that holds up through Wisconsin’s seasonal ground movement.
The walkways are now safer, properly aligned, and visually improved for the homeowner.
Before
The homeowner in Suamico, WI had noticed the concrete sidewalk leading from the driveway to the front door had settled over time, creating uneven slabs and a noticeable trip hazard for family members and guests. In addition to affecting the home's curb appeal, the low areas allowed water to collect, increasing the potential for further soil erosion beneath the concrete. During our inspection, we confirmed the sidewalk was structurally sound but had experienced soil settlement beneath the slabs—a common issue in Wisconsin due to freeze-thaw cycles and changing soil moisture conditions. Rather than replacing the sidewalk, we recommended lifting and stabilizing the existing concrete.
After
Our crew restored the sidewalk using PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to carefully lift the settled slabs back toward their original position. Unlike traditional mudjacking (slab jacking), PolyLevel is lightweight, waterproof, cures in minutes, and won't place additional stress on the supporting soils. The result is a smooth, safe walkway leading from the driveway to the front entrance while helping prevent future settlement. The homeowner now enjoys improved curb appeal and a safer path to their home without the expense and disruption of concrete replacement.

Before
The homeowner in Suamico, WI had begun noticing sections of their concrete driveway and the walkway leading to the side entrance of their home had settled over time. The uneven slabs created trip hazards, collected water after rainstorms, and detracted from the overall appearance of the property. During our inspection, our concrete leveling specialist found the concrete itself remained structurally sound, but voids had developed beneath the slabs due to soil settlement. This is a common issue throughout northeastern Wisconsin where freeze-thaw cycles and changing soil moisture contribute to slab movement. Instead of replacing the concrete, we recommended lifting and permanently stabilizing it.
After
Our crew restored the driveway and side entrance walkway using PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to accurately raise the settled slabs back toward their original position. Unlike traditional mudjacking (slab jacking), PolyLevel is lightweight, waterproof, and cures in minutes, allowing the concrete to be used again quickly while providing long-term stabilization beneath the slabs. After the concrete was properly aligned, we sealed the joints and cracks with NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to help prevent water from washing beneath the concrete and causing future settlement. The homeowner now has safer walking surfaces, improved drainage, and enhanced curb appeal without the expense of concrete replacement.

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, like this long concrete patio in Abrams, WI.
Sure-Dry Basement Systems provides expert concrete repair solutions using the 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.

Before:
A homeowner in Abrams, WI discovered that sections of their garage floor had begun to sink and crack, creating uneven surfaces and visible gaps at the foundation wall. Years of soil settlement and moisture washout beneath the slab had left portions of the concrete unsupported, causing vehicles to roll unevenly and small cracks to widen each season.
After:
To restore stability and level the surface, our team used PolyLevel® expanding foam to lift and support the sunken concrete. Injection ports were drilled at key points across the affected areas, and the lightweight polyurethane foam was introduced beneath the slab to fill voids and raise it back to its original elevation.
Now, the Abrams garage floor is level, solid, and ready for daily use—with the voids permanently filled and the structure protected against future settlement.
