Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

Concrete settlement is a common problem that causes other problems like trip hazards, pooling water against foundations, and unsightly cracks in concrete.  This porch in Mascoutah, Illinois had settled more than 2 inches, demonstrated by the gap between the concrete slab and the brick border.

Woods Basement Systems installed PolyLEVEL—a structural grade polymer—under the concrete slab to raise the slab back to a level position, and the difference is clear.  PolyLEVEL is injected into the void beneathe concrete slabs, fills the void, and the polyurethane's expanding properties allow for an accurate lift.

Mudjacking settling concrete slabs can get very messy.  For example, large, unsightly holes must be drilled in the concrete prior to mudjacking.  The grout being installed can spew out of the holes in the slab as it's being installed. Ultimately, mudjacking adds weight to the underlying soil, can erode or wash out, and takes days to cure.

PolyLEVEL, on the other hand, requires minimal disruption and boasts an impressively quick cure time—a concrete slab can be driven on 15 minutes after installation! This patio in Mascoutah, Illinois was able to be repaired and used by the homeowners the very same day. The material is waterproof and will never wash out. As a high-capacity, expansive polymer, PolyLEVEL can lift even heavy loads such as stoops and slab foundations.

Lynnette of Mascoutah, Illinois noticed large amounts of water standing in her basement and didn't know how to stop it. After she reached out to Woods Basement Systems, system design specialist, Cory S., designed a solution for her leaky basement. One of the products installed was a new WaterGuard draining system. WaterGuard is installed around the perimeter of the home, which collects any water that may leak in and sends that water to the sump pump to exit the home.
