Before & After Photos

Homeowners in Waupaca, WI were tired of driving over their unleveled garage approach every time they arrived or left their home. 

To resolve this constant issue, we injected PolyLevel under the concrete slab. This waterproof and lightweight material will not wash out and can support substantial loads of weight!

When a homeowner in Waupaca noticed their concrete driveway beginning to sink, signaling trouble on the horizon, they turned to us at Sure-Dry. Our team swiftly addressed the issue, employing PolyLevel injection to elevate and stabilize the sinking concrete, as vividly illustrated in these before and after photos. Thanks to Sure-Dry, the driveway has been remarkably restored, ensuring a safe, aesthetically pleasing, and durable surface for years to come, all while delivering a seamless and worry-free experience for the homeowner.

Before: Settling Garage Aprons Caused a Rough Entry

In Waupaca, this homeowner had issues at both their attached and detached garage aprons. Over time, the concrete in front of each garage had sunk, creating a noticeable dip that made driving in and out frustrating—and even a little risky. Open joints were also letting in water, which only made the settling worse with each freeze-thaw cycle.

They wanted everything lifted and sealed to prevent further damage and restore a smoother entry.

After: Lifted, Leveled & Fully Sealed

We raised the sunken slabs at both garage aprons using PolyLevel®, which quickly and cleanly lifts concrete back to its proper height. Then, we sealed all joints and cracks with NexusPro®, a flexible, long-lasting sealant that keeps water out and helps protect the repair long-term.

Now both garage entries are smooth, solid, and sealed—safe to drive on and protected from future settling.

Before

A homeowner in Waupaca, WI had several sections of their back concrete patio that had settled over time, leaving the slabs uneven and creating noticeable trip hazards. The sunken concrete also allowed water to collect in the low areas instead of draining away from the home. Like many outdoor concrete surfaces in Wisconsin, the patio had been affected by soil settlement and repeated freeze-thaw cycles, causing the slabs to sink while remaining structurally sound.

After

Sure-Dry restored the patio using PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to precisely lift and level the settled slabs. Unlike traditional mudjacking, PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam is lightweight, cures in about 15 minutes, and provides long-lasting support without adding excessive weight beneath the concrete. Once the patio was returned to a level position, the homeowner once again had a safer, more attractive outdoor space with improved drainage and no need for costly concrete replacement.

Before

A homeowner in Waupaca, WI had a concrete garage apron and the steps leading down to the lower-level entrance that had settled over time, creating uneven surfaces and noticeable gaps between the concrete slabs. The height differences made it more difficult to safely walk between the garage and lower-level entry while also allowing water to seep into the joints. Wisconsin's freeze-thaw cycles and naturally shifting soils often cause these heavily used concrete areas to settle, leading to trip hazards and continued movement if left unaddressed.

After

Sure-Dry restored the garage apron and lower-level entry steps using PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to accurately lift and stabilize the settled concrete. Unlike traditional mudjacking, PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam is lightweight, cures in about 15 minutes, and provides long-lasting support without placing additional stress on the underlying soils. After the concrete was returned to the proper elevation, all joints and cracks were sealed with NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to help prevent water from infiltrating beneath the slabs and contributing to future settlement. The completed project restored safe access to the lower-level entrance while improving the appearance and longevity of the existing concrete.
