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

Larry C. of St. Jacob, IL noticed that the concrete around his was sinking as the result of uneven concrete settlement. He decided to call Woods Basement Systems for a free estimate.

A Systems Design Specialist, Jeremy R., evaluated the situation and decided that the right solution would to install PolyLevel. Foreman Andrew T. installed the PolyLevel, which is a foam that is installed into the concrete and lifts along with filling cracks.

Since the installation of PolyLevel, Larry can rest assured that he is no longer at risk for dangers such as tripping that the uneven concrete gave potential possibilities for.

Unevenly Settled Concrete Slabs In St. Jacob, IL Fixed With PolyLevel

Ryan and Laura M. of St. Jacob, IL noticed that the concrete slabs on the sidewalk leading their were beginning to settle unevenly. Over time, shifting and settling can occur naturally due to the result of the weight of the concrete itself in addition to the weight of what the concrete is responsible for holding up. Aware of potential issues, such as tripping and the appearance of their home, they decided to call Woods Basement Systems for a free estimate.

Systems Design Specialist Ryan K. evaluated the situation and determined that the appropriate solution would be for foreman Andrew T. to install PolyLevel. PolyLevel is a foam injection that is installed in 4 simple steps, and works to lift the concrete back to its original position and fill in cracks.

Since the installation of PolyLevel, Ryan and Laura are no longer concerned about the issues that the unlevel concrete was causing for themselves or their home.

Porch and Patio Lifted and Leveled in St. Jacob, IL

The back porch of Larry C.’s St. Jacob home had become hazardous. It was sinking which had caused it to slope away from the home. The patio had begun to sink and it was pulling away from the porch which had caused a large gap to form between the two. Larry was worried visitors to his home might trip on his porch and patio so he called Woods Basement Systems. Design Specialist Jeremy R. assessed the porch and patio and knew exactly what needed to be done to fix the problem.

To stabilize and lift the concrete porch and patio, Wood injected PolyLevel through small holes drilled through the concrete. PolyLevel is a waterproof polymer that is pumped under the concrete. It expands to fill any voids caused by erosion under the concrete and lifts it back to level position. It hardens and cures in under 30 minutes, far less downtime than traditional mudjacking, after which the porch and patio can be used immediately.

Larry C. is happy that his porch and patio are back to their original level position and that he can now have visitors over for cook-outs.
