This drainage system is installed in the footing of the walls to collect the leaks and direct them towards the basement sump pump. The final step to this installation process is to pour cement over the top to seal the drains from clogging.

Fast and Effective Concrete Lifting and Leveling

The major flaw of concrete is that the ground that it was poured on top of will inevitably shift and sink over time. In the states of Illinois and Missouri sinking concrete is all too common which is why our company has gone to great lengths to develop fast and effective concrete lifting and leveling solutions. PolyLevel is a revolutionary product that is minimally invasive and not only lifts and levels concrete but also stabilizes it.

How PolyLevel works:

  1. The concrete lifting and leveling process begins with a few small holes drilled in the slab.
  2. Then the PolyLevel polymer is injected into the holes and expands to provide an accurate lift.
  3. After only about 15 minutes the polymer is dry and the concrete is ready to be walked and even driven on.

This concrete lifting and leveling technique is faster, less disruptive, and arguably more effective than mud jacking, which is the standard that PolyLevel replaces. We even offer SealantPro concrete sealing, which extends slabs' lifespans by 3 to 5 times overall in just one quick application. This concrete sealing system is resistant to moisture, oil, UV rays, abrasions, and more.

To remove tripping hazards, stabilize concrete, and lift it back to a level height nothing is faster or more effective than PolyLevel concrete leveling. After, our concrete sealing system will preserve your slabs for a lifetime. To schedule a FREE concrete lifting and leveling or concrete sealing estimate, contact us today!

We can Fix: 
  • Sunken sidewalks
  • Sagging steps
  • Uneven patios
  • Sinking driveways

Job Stories From Hillsboro, IL
Hillsboro, IL Leaks Stopped by TripleSafe & WaterGuard at the Source

The last thing any homeowner wants to see is a water leak inside their home. A homeowner, Paula, from Hillsboro, Illinois knew this all too well. Paula wanted a solution to stop water leaks from affecting the health of her basement and leaned on Woods Basement Systems for a solution. She worked with system design specialist, Chris T., to develop a plan to waterproof her basement. After going over the plan, it was decided that a TripleSafe sump pump along with WaterGuard drains would be installed. 

The home previously didn't have a sump pump, so this was first on the list of needs. A sump pump is a system that pumps water leaks out of the home. A TripleSafe sump pump was selected due to its dependability. This system contains three pumps with one primary pump and two backup pumps. If the primary pump ever fails, the system will switch to one of the battery-operated backup pumps. 

The WaterGuard drainage system was installed next in the footing of the basement walls. These are used to collect the pesky water leaks and direct them to the TripleSafe pump. WaterGuards stop water leaks at the source before they can create water damage in the basement. With the help of Woods' top waterproofing products, this basement is ready to take on any water leak!
