Concrete Lifting and Leveling Photo Album: Sinking Concrete in Highland, IL

In Highland, IL, a homeowner noticed that their concrete driveway and pathway had sunk in several areas, creating uneven surfaces and presenting a tripping hazard. This common issue not only detracted from the home's appearance but also created concern for both safety and vehicle wear-and-tear. The homeowner reached out to our Customer Care Specialist at Woods Basement Systems, recognizing us as a reliable contractor with a trusted reputation and years of experience.   Shortly after the initial contact, our System Design Specialist visited the property to assess the extent of the sinking concrete. They informed the homeowner that the settlement issue was due to underlying soil erosion, a scenario we often encounter and effectively resolve with our advanced solutions. The proposed plan was to implement our PolyLevel system, a method that would quickly and precisely lift the affected concrete slabs without extensive disruption or mess.   On the scheduled day, our skilled production team arrived ready to put the plan into action. They drilled small, inconspicuous holes into the sunken concrete slabs, through which the high-strength polyurethane foam was injected. As the foam expanded, it began lifting the concrete slabs gently and uniformly, leveling them back to their original position. This innovative solution cured quickly, allowing the homeowner to regain full use of their driveway and pathway within hours.   By tackling the problem with our PolyLevel system, we provided the homeowner with a permanent fix that simplified both their daily routines and enhanced the safety of their property. Trusting this crucial repair to Woods Basement Systems, the homeowner now enjoys a safe and smooth transition from curb to doorstep—thanks to efficient service embedded in quality craftsmanship.
