Effective Concrete Leveling & Concrete Sealing

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

Leveling and Sealing a Driveway

This driveway in Smithton, IL. was begining to show signs of uneven settling. The soil beneath the driveway was compressing due to weather and weight pressing it down. As the soil settled, the concrete would lose its support and begin to settle with it.

 

In addition to making the driveway become uneven, this can lead to cracking and damage as the concrete slabs bump into one another.

 

To fix this problem and level the driveway, Justin G. injected PolyLevel™ beneath the uneven sections to lift them into place. PolyLevel™ is a foam material that gets injected through small holes in the concrete. Once in place, the foam hardens into a super tough and very lightweight support that holds the concrete up without adding to the weight on the soil below.

 

PolyLevel™ is tough enough to be used beneath airport runways and is fast enough to be installed and solidified in just a few minutes.

 

With the driveway leveled, the cracks can be filled with NexusPro™ joint sealant. This sealant will flex with the concrete as it naturally shrinks and expands due to weather, but will prevent the slabs from rubbing into and damaging each other. It also keeps water from seeping through the gaps, where it could continue to erode the soil in places. 

 

Now this Smithton driveway is leveled and protected from future settling.

Foundation Repair with PushPiers

In Cape Girardeau, Missouri homeowner Simone W. had a foundation problem. Many homeowners when they see signs of foundation settlement (cracks on the walls inside and outside of the home) they usually ignore the problem and don’t call to get it fixed. This is because fixing a homes foundation sounds complicated and expensive. No homeowner wants to spend a large amount of money and time into the foundation of their home. Little do they know, the problem can only get worse with time and it is better to get it fixed sooner than later. Simone called Woods Basement Systems to find a solution to her foundation problem.

We sent our foreman Jose Lorenzana out to her home to install the perfect solution to her problem, PushPiers. Our PushPiers utilize high-strength round steel tubes and a load transfer bracket to stabilize and/or lift sinking or settling foundations. This system is the best way to lift the home back to its original position, while doing the least amount of damage to the outside landscaping of your home. Now, Simone has peace of mind knowing her home is lifted and stable.

Creating a Comfortable Crawl Space in Millersville, MO

This Millersville, Missouri crawl space was a nuisance to its owner. Heavy rain would flood the crawl space, and the musty smell saturated the main floor. The vented, dirt crawl space only compounded the problem of keeping the rooms above warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Rain or shine, she was always uncomfortable.

Woods Basement Systems installed a strong, durable vapor barrier to seal out moisture and a proper drainage system and powerful sump pump to evacuate groundwater away from the home.  The crew covered all crawl space vents and sealed the rim joists with spray foam insulation to reduce moisture and eliminate drafts.

The Woods team transformed the home into a clean, dry, and comfortable place to live.

Edwardsville, Illinois Basement Restored with WaterGuard & TripleSafe

This home in Edwardsville, Illinois had developed cracks in the basement walls after years of hydrostatic pressure.

This home needed desperately needed waterproofing materials to protect itself from the rain. Team Woods investigated the space and decided that this space was lacking a draining system and a sump pump: WaterGuard and TripleSafe.

Waterproofing a Basement in Cape Girardeau, MO

Water was coming down the walls of a basement in Cape Girardeau, MO, causing concern for the homeowners. To solve this issue, the WaterGuard System was first installed. These drainage pipes intercept water at the perimeter of the basement and drain it toward the sump pump system. This system has a design that will drain any wall seepage without allowing dirt and debris from the floor to enter and clog the pipes. Next, the TripleSafe Sump Pump System was installed. This system assures protection from everyday problems with an ordinary pump. It can handle a heavy flow of water, thanks to a secondary pump included inside that will help eliminate the water if the first pump is unable to keep up with the amount of water that is entering it. It also features a removable airtight lid which reduces noise, prevents objects from falling in, and keeps moisture, insects, and odor from coming out of the sump. Thanks to these systems, this basement will stay dry for years to come!
