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

Homeowners, June and Kert L. resolved to call Woods Basement Systems when they were in need of a new sump pump. The TripleSafe Sump Pump System uses three sumps.

John W. has a finished basement at his home and wanted a new system to replace his old sump pump. We sent Jaylon out to his location to discuss an alternative. John and Jaylon agreed a TripleSafe Sump Pump System would be the best system for his home. The TripleSafe has two pumps, not one, where the second operates when the first fails or is overloaded, and has a battery back-up pump for power outages. It also has an air-tight floor drain to keep odors out.

Now, John has a more reliable sump pump system to keep his basement dry.

To ensure this home would be safe from future damage, we installed tubes to hold up the existing beam. Now, this homeowner can be sure the support will not fail the home again.

Ralph S. of Weldon Spring, Missouri experienced water leaking into his basement where the floor meets the wall. The water seepage risked damage to his valuables and posed a concern for mold growth.

System design specialist Todd M. designed a solution to waterproof Ralph's basement. WaterGuard, a perimeter drainage system, was installed by foreman Melvin F. WaterGuard guides water to the newly installed TripleSafe sump pump system. Triple safe is equipped with three pumps to ensure the basement stays dry.

Ralph now has no reason to be concerned with a wet, musty basement. He can enjoy his dry, odor-free living space.

Elizabeth K. of Weldon Spring, Missouri was experiencing trouble with water leaking into her basement at her discharge line. To keep the water out of the basement, system design specialist Walter C. designed a solution.

WaterGuard Installed in Weldon Spring, MO

Jack M. of Weldon Spring, MO had water seeping into his basement. This water was threatening the home with mold. Woods Basement Systems was able to install products that would drain the water away.

Woods installed WaterGuard to help drain water out of the basement. WaterGuard is installed against the wall in the concrete of the floor. The water will flow into the WaterGuard, allowing the piping to lead the water out of the basement.

A sump pump was installed to evacuate unwanted water. The sump pump will pump the water out through a discharge line that leads the water to the yard. This line can become clogged or frozen at times, in order to prevent the water from receding back into the basement, Woods installed IceGuard. IceGuard is installed on the discharge line next to the house and allows water to escape through it when it is necessary. 

CleanSpace Installed in Weldon, IL

Milly M. of Weldon, IL had water leaking into her crawlspace. The water had no escape route and would stay in the space until it dried. Woods Basement Systems had the perfect products to seal the crawlspace.

Woods installed CleanSpace to seal off the space and prevent water and moisture from getting in. A drainage matt was installed under the CleanSpace to drain away any unwanted water that may be standing in the crawlspace. Vent covers were also installed for additional sealing. These covers create an air tight seal and do not allow water or moisture into the crawlspace.

Woods installed a discharge line that was attached to a TripleSafe sump pump. This sump pump would pump the water in the crawlspace through the discharge line. The discharge line leads the water into the yard where it is drained. The line can become frozen or clogged in some situations. In order to prevent the water from backing up into the crawlspace, Woods installed IceGuard. IceGuard provides an escape route for the water so that it does not back up into the crawlspace. 

CleanSpace Crawl Space Encapsulation in Farmer City, Illinois

Jim S., Farmer City, Illinois homeowner, was sick of his wet, musty crawl space. Water leaked into the crawl space and caused mold, a common allergen. Greg B., system design specialist, designed a solution to restore the crawl space.

Foreman Greg J. installed our CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system. CleanSpace is an inorganic vapor barrier. Because it is inorganic, it does not support mold growth. CleanSpace encapsulates the crawl space to prevent water from getting in.

Sinking Concrete Porch in Frohna, MO Leveled

Melba L. of Frohna, Missouri noticed that her home's concrete porch was starting to sink and separate from the outside wall of the house. She wanted her porch to be level, so she called Woods Basement Systems.

Design specialist Matthew S. spoke to the homeowner and decided that PolyLevel would be the best solution. Foreman Juan H. traveled to the home and inserted the PolyLevel foam under the porch. PolyLevel can be inserted through holes around the size of a penny. The foam expands and lifts the concrete back to its original position.

Thanks to PolyLevel, Melba L. now has a level porch. She no longer has to worry about her concrete porch sinking.

Settled and Uneven Concrete Fixed by PolyLevel Injection in Weldon Spring, MO

Carl W. of Weldon Spring, MO was facing issues with the concrete around his home. He contacted Woods Basement Systems for a free estimate about resolving the problem.

Systems Design Specialist Matthew S. evaluated the situation and determined that the concrete was sinking and settling, causing it to be uneven. This can happen over time, due to the weight of the concrete and what the concrete is holding up. It was decided that the appropriate solution would be for foreman Andrew T. to insert PolyLevel injection. PolyLevel is a foam injection that is simply installed in 4-steps and lifts the concrete, resulting in a safe and level surface.

Carl W. no longer has to be concerned of the safety and security of his home now that he has had PolyLevel installed.

Waterproofing in Farmer City, IL Basement

Tamara K. of Farmer City, Illinois was shocked when she discovered that her home's basement was collecting water. She did not want to have to clean up a mess after every rain storm, so she called Woods Basement Systems for help.

Design specialist Marc C. assessed the situation and decided that the best option was to install a TripleSafe sump pump and a Waterguard drainage system. Foreman Clifton C. headed to the home to install the waterproofing products.

The Waterguard drainage system was placed above the footing of the basement. It accepts and drains any water coming up from the ground before it reaches the surface of the basement. The TripleSafe sump pump is equipped with a primary, secondary, and battery powered pump. These pumps make sure water is removed from the basement no matter what may happen.

Tamara K. no longer has to worry about coming home to a wet basement. She now has a waterproof and dry basement.

Full-Coverage Foundation Repair in Farmer City, IL

Michael from Farmer City, Illinois reached out to Woods Basement System once he grew concerned over the stability of his home. He had a brick foundation basement that he had covered with cement several years ago. Over time the cement has cracked and fallen off of the walls due to the home's settlement. Team Woods looked over his basement and agreed, settlement had caused harm to the basement walls. The walls have moved into unsecured positions that needed a permanent repair as well. 

Team Woods first installed push piers into the footing of the basement to lock and lift the foundation into a stable position. These strong push piers are a permanent solution to fight against settlement because this piering system locks the home into a secure position. Next, the team installed Geo-Lock wall anchors into the walls to prevent the walls from moving, while also slowing pulling them back to where they were before the settlement. 

Michael was eager to use his basement again after this project. A full-coverage foundation repair that ended in a job well done!

Mold & Mud Stopped with a CleanSpace Barrier in Weldon Spring, MO

Homeowner Arnold from Weldon Spring, Missouri noticed many warning signs that his crawl space was in need of a vapor barrier system. He then called Woods Basement Systems to have a professional look over the space by coming out to his house. He then spoke with system design specialist, Max D., who recommended installing a CleanSpace encapsulation system in his mold and muddy crawl space. 

Team Woods installed the new CleanSpace vapor barrier system into the crawl space to completely seal the area from harmful outer elements. This encapsulation system is made out of inorganic materials which is crucial to prevent the system from developing mold or damage. With the new CleanSpace system, Arnold can now use his previously moldy and muddy crawl space as storage space. 

 

Permanently Fixing a Settling Foundation

Pat C.'s home in Weldon Spring, MO. had a settling foundation. Over the years, the soil beneath this home's footing compacted or eroded away, allowing the footing on top of it to sink. As the footing sank, the house began to sink with it.

 

The warning signs can be subtle. Things like doors and windows sticking when they are opened or closed or small cracks in the walls can be signs that a foundation is settling. These smaller issues can lead to larger problems like wall failure and sagging floors.

 

The solution is push piers. These steel cylinders are installed through a bracket attached to the footing. Then they are pressed deep into the ground, where they can reach strong, stable soil or bedrock. This soil or bedrock is compressed and will not compact, making it ideal to support the weigth of the foundation.

 

Once the piers are installed, the home will be rested on the brackets and supported by the steel piers that reach past the settling soil. This makes for a permanent solution for preventing further settling and can be a great option for lifting the house back to its original position.
