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

Job Stories From Flora, IL
Drying the Air with Sedona

Once a basement is protected from flooding, the last step is to remove water in the air. Water vapor might enter a home through the windows or tiny gaps in the walls. Once inside the water vapor might make the air feel damp and uncomfortable. The moisture might also condense on cooler surfaces like the walls or air ducts, where it might then drip down onto the floor below.

 

To stop this from happening, Woods Basement Systems recommends the Sedona dehumidifier. The Sedona can wring over 12 gallons of water out of the air in a single day - and it uses the same amount of power as dehumidifiers that dry less than half as well! The Sedona will not only dry the air, but filter out particles as well. Things like mold spores and dust mite droppings can make the air uncomfortable and unhealthy for residents, but the Sedona will pull them out of the air.

 

With the Sedona dehumidifier, basement air will be dry and clean, making the basement a comfortable space that the homeowner can really use.

A small, dime-sized hole is drilled into the sinking concrete. Then the polymer is injected into it and within 15 minutes, the slab can be used again. Additionally, a waterproofing system was installed to stop the moisture from entering the customer's basement.

Geo-Lock Wall Anchors and 7' SmartJacks in Flora, IL

Flora, Illinois homeowner Stephen experienced bowing walls in his basement. He noticed this was causing the basement to be wet and that some of the beams looked weak. He gave Woods Basement Systems a call and System Design Specialist Luke K. developed an ideal plan for Stephen. 

Foreman Miguel O. and his crew installed Geo-Lock Wall Anchors, 7' SmartJacks, WaterGuard, and a Zoeller M53 1/3 HP sump pump.

Geo-Lock Wall Anchors are steel rods that are driven through the foundation walls back into the inactive soil. There they are anchored with steel anchors. Naturally the Earth wants to fill the hole that your home is in. The Geo-Lock Wall Anchors work by providing resistance to the pressure exerted by the active backfill around the home. With a tightening kit, over time the wall can be returned to its original position. 

The SmartJack is a steel assembly that is placed on the interior of the home. It is used in areas where the floor beams need extra support. The 7' SmartJack is ideal for basements and can be positioned and anchored where needed. 

Installing WaterGuard along the interior perimeter of the basement gives the water that finds its way inside a way back outside. By collecting the water before it reaches the floor and redirecting it to a sump pump the basement will stay dry. A dry basement increases area quality by lowering allergens and mildew caused by water vapor. 

Stephen now has a dry and stable basement to enjoy.
