Before & After Photos

Before: A homeowner in Tigerton, WI was dealing with a concrete driveway that had settled and developed uneven areas and cracks. As the soil beneath concrete shifts and settles, voids can form under the slabs, allowing them to sink. Wisconsin’s repeated freeze-thaw cycles can make these problems worse by allowing water beneath and between the concrete.

After: Sure-Dry used PolyLevel® to lift and level the affected driveway slabs. PolyLevel is a lightweight polyurethane foam injected through small holes in the concrete, where it expands beneath the slab to fill voids, stabilize the soil, and carefully raise the concrete. Unlike traditional mudjacking, PolyLevel requires smaller injection holes, adds significantly less weight to the underlying soil, and cures quickly. Once the slabs were stabilized, NexusPro® was applied to cracks and joints to help prevent water from reaching the soil beneath the driveway. The homeowner now has a smoother, more stable driveway with the existing concrete preserved instead of replaced.

Before: A homeowner in Tigerton, WI had significant concrete settlement inside a garage/work shed. Sections of the floor had dropped enough to create a large, noticeable crack and uneven areas across the slab. The amount of movement made it clear that the problem wasn't simply cosmetic—voids and unstable soil beneath the concrete had allowed the slab to lose support.

After: Sure-Dry used PolyLevel® to lift and level the settled concrete. Lightweight polyurethane foam was injected beneath the slab, where it expanded to fill underlying voids and carefully raise the concrete. As the different sections of the floor were brought back toward their proper elevations, something impressive happened—the large crack actually closed up considerably as the slabs moved back into alignment. While lifting doesn't make an existing crack disappear, reducing the separation showed just how much of the cracking had been caused by settlement. The garage/work shed now has a significantly more level and stable concrete floor without tearing out and replacing the slab.

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. This process affects everything from your driveway and sidewalk to roads and airport runways.

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.

Here is an example of a walkway at a home in Fremont, WI that we were able to lift and level with our PolyLevel® system.

Before: Sunken, Sloped & Cracked

In Fremont, WI, this homeowner noticed their front sidewalk had started to sink and lean away from both the front steps and the driveway. Not only was it becoming a trip hazard, but it also created an awkward and unsafe transition into the home. On top of that, a visible crack had formed along the walkway, making the concrete look worn and uneven.

After: Lifted, Leveled & Sealed

To fix the issue, our team used PolyLevel® to gently lift and level the sidewalk slabs back into their original position, restoring a safe and smooth entry to the home. We also used NexusPro® joint and crack sealant to permanently seal the crack and prevent water from seeping in and causing future damage.

The result? A clean, level, and safe sidewalk that looks great and functions like new.

Before: A homeowner in Antigo, WI noticed sections of their concrete walkway leading to the front steps had settled over time, creating uneven surfaces and potential tripping hazards. Like many concrete surfaces throughout northern Wisconsin, years of moisture infiltration, soil movement, and repeated freeze-thaw cycles had caused portions of the slabs to sink and separate. These conditions not only affected curb appeal but also made navigating the walkway and driveway more difficult and less safe. Wisconsin's frequent freeze-thaw cycles are a leading cause of concrete settlement and deterioration.

After: Sure-Dry restored the affected concrete using PolyLevel® High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to carefully lift and level the sunken sections of the front walkway. Once the slabs were returned to their proper position, NexusPro® Concrete Joint Sealant was applied to the joints and gaps to help prevent water intrusion beneath the concrete. Unlike traditional mudjacking (also known as slab jacking), PolyLevel uses a lightweight, high-density foam that won't add significant weight to the soil below, cures quickly, and provides long-lasting stabilization. The repaired concrete now offers a safer walking surface, improved appearance, and greater protection against future settlement and freeze-thaw damage.
The homeowner now has a level, secure walkway that enhances both safety and curb appeal.
