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

System design specialist Jeremy visited the home and inspected the wall before coming up with a solution that would fit Rosemary's budget and solve her problem. That solution involved installing two different types of wall supports, GeoLock wall anchors and PowerBrace beams. GeoLock anchors are driven far out into the firmer soil surrounding the home and are connected to plates on the interior surface of the wall to pull the walls outward, while PowerBrace beams are steel supports that are placed against the wall on the inside.

Badly Cracked and Bowed Concrete Block Walls in Freeburg, IL Righted With PowerBraces

Homeowner Gary V. and his wife had lived in their home for over 30 years, but they were now interested in selling the property and moving. But before they could even consider putting the home on the market, there was a pressing issue in the basement to take care of. The couple first noticed cracking and deformation in their cement-block basement walls about a decade ago, and the problem only got worse. When Gary called Woods Basement Systems several months ago, the walls were in very bad shape. The cracking was now quite severe and the walls were badly bowing, putting them at risk for collapse.

Jeremy, system design specialist, visited the home and crafted a solution for Gary and his wife that would solve their problem. A Woods Basement Systems team got to work on the basement, installing 30 PowerBrace supports throughout the space. To put these in place, adjustable steel rods are anchored in the firm, undisturbed soil nearly 10 feet away from the foundation. These extend from their anchor points back to the inside surface of the basement, effectively pulling the walls back outward, making them level and preventing any additional bowing.
