Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Waupun, WI noticed their concrete driveway and front walkway had begun to settle and separate over time. The driveway slabs had dropped nearly two inches near the garage, creating uneven edges and pooling water. The walkway leading to the front steps showed multiple trip points and open joints where water and debris collected, accelerating surface wear and freeze–thaw cracking.

After:
To restore safety and appearance, the crew used PolyLevel® expanding foam to lift and stabilize the settled slabs across the driveway and front walkway. Once level, all joints and cracks were cleaned and sealed with NexusPro®, a long-lasting silicone sealant designed to block water and remain flexible through Wisconsin’s seasonal changes.

Now, the concrete surfaces around this Waupun home are even, watertight, and protected from future settling—improving both function and curb appeal.

Before

A homeowner in Waupun, WI noticed the small concrete patio next to their front entrance had already begun to sink, despite the home being only a few years old. The settling slab created an uneven transition at the front entry, creating a tripping hazard and allowing water to collect near the foundation. During our inspection, we determined that soil settlement beneath the slab had created voids, a common issue in Wisconsin where newly placed soils continue to consolidate and freeze-thaw cycles accelerate movement beneath exterior concrete. Rather than replacing the nearly new patio, our concrete leveling specialist recommended lifting and stabilizing the existing slab.

After

Our crew restored the front entry patio using PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to carefully lift the settled slab back toward its original position. Unlike traditional mudjacking (slab jacking), PolyLevel is lightweight, waterproof, and cures in minutes, allowing the patio to be used again quickly while providing long-term stabilization beneath the concrete. Once the slab was properly aligned, the joints were sealed with NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to help prevent water from washing beneath the slab and causing future settlement. The homeowner now has a safe, level front entrance that complements their newer home while helping protect the investment for years to come.

Before

The homeowner in Waupun, WI noticed multiple sections of concrete around their home had begun to settle, including the driveway, the front walkway leading to the front steps, and the side walkway wrapping around to the garage service entrance. The uneven slabs had created trip hazards, allowed water to collect in low areas, and impacted the home's curb appeal. During our inspection, our concrete leveling specialist identified voids beneath the slabs caused by soil settlement—a common issue in Wisconsin where freeze-thaw cycles and changing moisture conditions contribute to concrete movement. Fortunately, the concrete remained structurally sound, making it an excellent candidate for lifting instead of replacement.

After

Our crew restored each affected area using PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to precisely lift and stabilize the driveway, front walkway, and side walkway leading to the garage service entrance. Unlike traditional mudjacking (slab jacking), PolyLevel is lightweight, waterproof, cures in minutes, and won't add excessive weight to the supporting soils. After the concrete was returned to a safe, even position, we sealed the joints and cracks with NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to help keep water from washing beneath the slabs and causing future settlement. The homeowner now has safer walkways, improved curb appeal, and a long-lasting concrete repair solution designed to withstand Wisconsin's changing seasons.
