Before & After Photos

Before

The homeowner in Port Washington, WI had sections of their concrete driveway that had settled over time, creating uneven slabs and noticeable trip hazards. Water was beginning to collect in the low areas, accelerating erosion beneath the concrete and increasing the risk of additional settlement. Like many homes in southeastern Wisconsin, freeze-thaw cycles and changing soil moisture had contributed to the slab movement. Rather than replacing the driveway, the homeowner contacted Sure-Dry, a trusted concrete lifting company, for a long-lasting repair.

After

After carefully measuring slab elevations and identifying voids beneath the concrete, our crew injected PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam through small, strategically placed holes to precisely lift and stabilize the driveway. Unlike traditional mudjacking (slab jacking), which uses a heavy cement slurry that can add weight to already unstable soils, PolyLevel is lightweight, expands to fill hidden voids, cures in minutes, and provides long-lasting support without significant disruption. Once the driveway was restored to a safe, even surface, all joints and cracks were sealed using NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to help prevent water infiltration that can wash away supporting soils beneath the slabs. The homeowner now has a smoother, safer driveway with improved curb appeal and protection against future settlement.

Before

The homeowner in Port Washington, WI noticed their concrete patio outside the back door and sections of the garage floor had settled, creating uneven surfaces and making it more difficult to safely enter and exit the home. Water was beginning to collect in the low areas, and the shifting concrete had become more noticeable after years of Wisconsin's freeze-thaw cycles and changing soil conditions. Rather than replacing solid concrete, the homeowner chose Sure-Dry, a trusted concrete lifting company, to restore the slabs.

After

Our crew carefully inspected the affected concrete and identified the voids responsible for the settlement before injecting PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam beneath the patio and garage floor. Unlike traditional mudjacking (slab jacking), which relies on a heavy cement slurry, PolyLevel uses lightweight, expanding foam that fills hidden voids, precisely lifts the slabs, cures in minutes, and provides long-lasting support without adding unnecessary weight to the soil. Once the concrete was restored to the proper elevation, all joints and cracks were sealed with NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to help prevent water from reaching the soil beneath the slabs. The homeowner now has a safer, more level patio and garage floor that are protected against future moisture-related settlement.

In Mountain, WI, a homeowner faced a safety concern due to their sinking driveway, risking trip hazards for visitors. As seen in the before photo, the uneven surface shows the issue at hand. Our experts at Sure-Dry applied a trio of proven solutions: PolyLevel® foam to lift and level the concrete, NexusPro® Sealant to properly seal the joints, and SealantPro® to safeguard the driveway against future wear. In the after photo, the driveway is flawlessly even and protected, showcasing how our innovative approach offers lasting peace of mind for your home.

Before:
A homeowner in Gillett had settled driveway and walkway slabs with open joints and cracks. The uneven surfaces created trip hazards and allowed water to seep between slabs, leading to pooling near the garage and worsening freeze–thaw damage.

After:
We injected PolyLevel® polyurethane foam beneath the settled slabs to fill voids and gently lift them back to a level, properly pitched position. We then sealed joints and cracks with NexusPro®, a flexible, UV-resistant sealant (installed over backer where needed) and finished with color-match sand for a clean look.

The concrete is now level, safer to walk and drive on, and better protected against water intrusion and freeze–thaw cycles.

This concrete walkway of a home in Hobart, WI was in rough shape.  Years of soil erosion and the wear and tear of extreme weather conditions lead the concrete to sink and become uneven, as well as develop unsightly and dangerous cracks.  

To lift and level the concrete surface, Sure-Dry Basement Systems used their patented 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.

To repair the cracks in the concrete, Sure-Dry used their breakthrough technology only available at Sure-Dry called NexusPro.  NexusPro is a silicone-based sealant for joints and cracks specially formulated to provide long-lasting flexibility and to stand up to harsh weather conditions. Unlike traditional polyurethane sealants, NexusPro resists UV rays, which means it won't crack, bubble or dry out. That means a single application can seal the joints and cracks in your concrete driveway, patio, pool deck or sidewalk for years to come, protecting it from damage caused by soil compaction and washout.
