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

Advantages of WaterGuard Waterproofing System

In Glen Carbon, Illinois homeowner Mary A. has had rainwater problems in her home for as long as she could remember. With water entering through the gap where the floor meets the wall, she decided to finally waterproof her basement once and for all. She called Woods Basement Systems to find the perfect solution for her home.

We sent our foreman Clay L. and his team out to the Glen Carbon, Illinois home to install our WaterGuard system. WaterGuard is engineered to be an efficient, long-lasting interior perimeter basement waterproofing system. The big difference is that the WaterGuard sits on-top of the footing, instead of the alongside of it. This is important because it keeps the wet dirt (commonly mud) from getting into the drain because the drain does not sit in the mud. After the WaterGuard is installed, Mary does not need to worry about leaking and water in her basement ever again.

Stopping Leaking Windows

Windows in foundation walls are often weak points for water to leak through. Water will frequently build up in window wells, where it can press against windows, eventually forcing its way into the home through the gaps around the window frame. 

 

To protect the home from damaging leaks like this, Woods Basement Systems can install improved window wells or a WellDuct™. The WellDuct™system works by creating a drain in the window well that travels through the wall and into a covered channel. This channel directs the water down into the perimeter drainage system or sump pump system without letting it leak into the basement. This way, water gets drained away before it can build up in the window well.

 

Another option is to improve the window well itself. Adding a bed of rocks and a window well cover can prevent water from entering the window well and allow any water that does enter the window well to drain away into the ground beneath the well. This will help keep water out without blocking the sunlight or the view. 

 

Windows in foundation walls can often leak because of water building up in the window well outside. Adding a window well cover is one way to help prevent water buildup while a WellDuct™ can be installed to drain away any water that does build up there.

Installing a TripleSafe™

Michael S. of Glen Carbon, IL. needed a new sump pump. Rather than stick with a single pump system, he upgraded to the TripleSafe™ sump pump system.

 

The TripleSafe™ is more than just a sump pump, it is three sump pumps packed into a special sump liner with extra features. The TripleSafe™ has a floor drain with a flood alarm which can alert homeowners to leaks entering the sump pump from above, a tough sump liner that allows plenty of water in without letting in debris that might fall into a normal sump and a large battery to keep a pump running.

 

But these features are extra when considering the amazing pumping power of the TripleSafe™ system. With three pumps, all of which can be active individually or at the same time, the TripleSafe™ can pump out far more water than a single sump pump. Because one of the pumps is battery powered, the TripleSafe™ can even keep pumping out water during a power outage. 

 

Instead of just keeping his basement kind of safe, Michael S. chose to keep his basement triple safe with TripleSafe™.
