Mudjacking & Concrete Leveling in Pewaukee, WI
From the old village streets by the lake to newer subdivisions in the city, Pewaukee has a lot of concrete sitting on wet, slow-draining ground. Raise-Rite lifts settled driveways, patios, steps and walks back into place in a few hours, for far less than replacement.

Common Concrete Problems We Fix in Pewaukee
We serve both the Village of Pewaukee, incorporated in 1876, and the City of Pewaukee, which grew from about 4,900 people in 1990 to more than 15,000 today. Older homes and newer ones settle for different reasons, but the fixes are much the same.
Village sidewalks
Village code puts sidewalk upkeep on the abutting owner. A sunken slab with a trip edge can often be lifted back into line instead of replaced.
Driveways on newer lots
Driveways poured over backfill near the garage keep settling for years and leave a lip at the door or the apron.
Patios near the lake
Patios on wet ground settle toward the house and hold water. We lift them back to a pitch that drains to the yard.
Steps and stoops
Steps sit on fill against the foundation. When it washes out, they lean away from the house and leave a gap.
Before & After
Real Raise-Rite jobs from around the area. The slabs stay in place; only the soil underneath gets fixed.

How Foam Concrete Lifting Works
Most Pewaukee driveways, patios and steps take a few hours, and you can use them the same day.
Drill small holes
We drill a few small holes through the sunken slab at points chosen to lift it evenly.
Inject high-density foam
Polyurethane foam expands under the slab, fills the voids and raises the concrete back to level while we watch it rise.
Patch and use the same day
We patch the holes, clean up and you can usually walk on it right away. Want the details? Read about our process or compare foam vs. mudjacking.

Pewaukee Lake sits in a valley that glacial deposits blocked off, and the dam at the outlet in the village raised the lake about six feet in the 1800s. A regional planning study found that about half of the lake's direct drainage area has poorly or very poorly drained soils, some with a high water table most of the year.
Across eastern Waukesha County, many soils are high in clay and can hold a perched water table close to the surface. The Pewaukee River has flooded the village before, including a major flood in April 1973. Wet clay loses strength, freeze and thaw moves it every winter, and slabs on top of it settle.

Pewaukee Concrete Leveling FAQ
Who is responsible for sidewalks in the Village of Pewaukee?
Village code says the abutting property owner builds, repairs and maintains the sidewalk at their own cost, with the village paying where its own assets, such as street trees, caused significant damage. If your slab is sunken but in one piece, lifting it back into line is often far cheaper than replacing it. Check with the village before work starts.
Do you work in both the city and the village?
Yes. We lift concrete throughout the Village of Pewaukee and the City of Pewaukee. Rules for public sidewalks can differ between the two, so ask your municipality if the work is in the right of way.
Why does concrete sink so much around Pewaukee Lake?
Much of the ground around the lake drains poorly, and eastern Waukesha County has a lot of clay soil that can hold water near the surface. Wet clay softens, dry clay shrinks, and freeze and thaw moves it every winter.
Can you lift a patio without tearing up the yard?
Yes. Our equipment stays on the truck and we run hoses to the slab, so there are no ruts or torn-up beds. The only marks left are a few small patched holes in the concrete.
Is foam lifting or mudjacking better for my concrete?
Both raise concrete by pumping material underneath it. Polyurethane foam is light, needs smaller holes and cures in minutes, so it suits most driveways, walks and garage floors on clay soil. Traditional mudjacking still makes sense on some larger slabs. We look at the slab and the soil and tell you which one we would use and why.
How soon can I use the slab after it is lifted?
With foam, you can usually walk on it right away and drive on it the same day. Mudjacking takes a little longer to set. We tell you exactly when it is ready before we leave.
Do you serve the area around Pewaukee?
Yes. We work in Waukesha, Brookfield, Sussex and Lannon, plus the rest of Waukesha, Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Washington and Sheboygan Counties.
