Before & After Photos

Before The concrete wrap-around patio and walkway leading to this Merrill, WI home had settled over time, creating uneven sections and visible gaps throughout the entry path. The sinking concrete created tripping hazards near the entrance and allowed water to collect along portions of the patio during heavy rain and seasonal snowmelt. Concerns like these are common for homeowners searching for concrete leveling, concrete lifting contractor services, and concrete step repair in Lincoln County due to Wisconsin’s freeze-thaw cycles and shifting soils.
Traditional mudjacking methods were considered, but the homeowner wanted a longer-lasting concrete lifting solution that would not add additional weight beneath the slab or require extensive disruption around the home’s entrance area.

After Sure-Dry installed the PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to carefully lift and stabilize the settled concrete patio and walkway sections surrounding the home’s entrance. This lightweight concrete lifting system was injected beneath the slabs to restore proper elevation and eliminate dangerous uneven surfaces. Unlike traditional mudjacking or slab jacking methods that use heavy grout mixtures, PolyLevel cures quickly, adds minimal weight to the soil, and provides precise lifting control for long-term concrete leveling performance.
To finish the repair, the crew sealed the joints and cracks using NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to help reduce water intrusion and further soil washout beneath the slabs. The completed repair restored a safer, cleaner entrance while helping protect the patio from future settlement issues common throughout Central Wisconsin.

Before: A homeowner in Merrill, WI had several concrete areas around the home that had started settling and shifting over the years, including a backyard patio, the wrap-around walkway between the house and garage, and the concrete landings beneath two entry step areas. The walkway leading toward the backyard patio had become especially uneven in spots, making it awkward to walk through the side of the property. The concrete around both step entrances had also dropped enough that the transitions into the home no longer felt level or safe.
Like a lot of homes around Lincoln County, years of moisture changes and Northern Wisconsin freeze-thaw weather had slowly caused the soil beneath the concrete to settle. Cracks and open joints had started letting more water underneath the slabs, which only continued making the problem worse over time.

After: Sure-Dry used PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to carefully lift and stabilize the settled patio, wrap-around walkway, and concrete entry areas around the home. By injecting the foam beneath the slabs, the crew was able to fill voids underneath the concrete and raise the affected sections back closer to level without the need for a full tear-out and replacement. Compared to traditional mudjacking methods, PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam is lightweight, cures quickly, and works well for detailed lifting around steps, patios, and walkways.
After the lifting work was completed, the joints and cracks were sealed using NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to help keep water from getting back underneath the slabs. By the end of the project, the transitions around the entrances were smoother, the walkway between the house and garage was much safer to use, and the backyard patio area looked far more even and cleaned up overall.
