A sidewalk in Athens, IL, was unleveled and littered with cracks. Additionally, large gaps were forming in between the concrete slabs as a result of the unevenness. To solve this issue, PolyLevel™ was used. This system works by drilling pea-sized holes into the concrete and injecting a polyurethane foam underneath the concrete. The foam expands, lifting the concrete slabs up to level them out. This foam hardens to become rock solid within hours. Next, NexusPro™ is used to fill in the gaps and cracks. This system will withstand against any harsh weather conditions the homeowner may receive. With these systems in place, the homeowner can rest assured that their concrete will remain in great shape!

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

Unprotected Crawl Space Restored by CleanSpace in Athens, IL

Terry of Athens, Illinois knew that he wanted to finish his crawl space, but didn't know the best way to do so. After his local news aired a segment of Woods Basement Sytems discussing CleanSpace, he knew it was time to give Woods Basement Systems a call. 

System design specialist, John S., worked with Terry to inspect his crawl space. After looking over the area, John agreed that CleanSpace was the optimal solution. CleanSpace in an encapsulation system that serves as a vapor barrier that separates the outside of the home from the inside. This system is crucial to keep water, mold, dirt, grime, etc., out of the crawl space. The air that you breathe throughout the rest of the house first enters in the crawl space or basement, so it is vital to keep the crawl space or basement clean and healthy.

Foreman, James L., and his crew installed the CleanSpace encapsulation system throughout the crawl space. Now Terry and his family will have a clean, healthy crawl space for many more years to come!

PolyLevel Injection On Sidewalk In Athens, IL

Brad W. of Athens, IL noticed that the concrete sidewalk leading to his home was cracking, due to uneven concrete settlement. Aware of dangers such as tripping and the appearance of his home lacking, he decided to call Woods Basement Systems for a free estimate.

Systems Design Specialist Kapone C. visited the home and determined that the appropriate solution would be for Systems Design Specialist Nolan M. to install PolyLevel. PolyLevel is a foam injection that is installed into the concrete in 4 simple steps and works to lift the concrete back to its original position and fill in cracks. He also informed Brad that concrete settling and cracking can occur naturally over time as the result of the weight of the concrete in addition to an accumulation of what the concrete is responsible for holding up.

Since the installation of PolyLevel, the appearance and safety of Brad's home has been restored.

PolyLEVEL Fixes Unleveled Concrete in Athens, IL

A homeowner in Athens, IL by the name of Brad W. discovered uneven concrete outside of his home. After realizing the unpleasant appearance and safety hazards that comes with uneven concrete, he gave Woods Basement System a call.

Our system design specialist, Nolan M. did a thorough inspection on the home and was able to create a design that would resolve the issue. Foreman, Kapone C. installed the PolyLEVEL system to level the concrete. This method requires lighter equipment and less mess than other repair options. Instead of using a mixture of concrete and mud, the PolyLEVEL system uses high-density polymers to level concrete. Small holes are simply drilled in the slab and then the lightweight equipment is used to inject polymers into the holes. Once the holes are filled, it allows the concrete to lift and level. Just 15 minutes after the installation, the concrete is dry and can even be driven on.

With the PolyLEVEL system installation, Brad W. is at ease knowing his property has been restored.
