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

Foreman, Juan H. installed the products. The SmartSump pump is specifically designed for crawl spaces to protect against flooding and leaks. CleanSpace is a vapor barrier that works to collect water that seeps through basement walls and guides it the sump pump to be removed from the home. IceGuard is installed on the outside of the home and allows water to expel from the guards in case of pipes clogging or freezing.

Concrete Repair in Mt. Vernon, IL

Arlene H. of Mt. Vernon, IL deiced to call Woods Basement Systems for a free quote in regards to repairing the concrete outside of her home that had settled unevenly. Concrete that settles unevenly can occur as the result of a number of different causes, some of which being the weight that concrete is responsible for holding up or the weight of the concrete itself.

Matthew S., a Systems Design Specialist from Woods Basement Systems, made a visit to the home. Upon the inspection, he determined that the appropriate solution would be for foreman Andrew T. to install PolyLevel, a foam that is injected into the concrete and lifts the surface and fills in cracks.

Upon the install, Arlene feels assured that her home or herself is longer facing issues from the unevenly settled concrete.

Basement Waterproofing in Mt Vernon, IL

Paul M. of Mt Vernon, Illinois noticed that water was entering his home's basement after heavy rain showers. He did not want to have to keep dealing with a mess, so he called Woods Basement Systems for help.

Design specialist Gerica S. assessed the situation and decided the best option was to install a Waterguard drainage system, a CleanSpace wall system, and two Twin Pack sump pumps. Foreman Bradly P. then headed to the home to start the job.

The CleanSpace wall system is a plastic liner that was attached to the walls of the basement. It acts as a vapor barrier and drains any leaks that occur behind it. The Waterguard drainage system was placed above the footing of the basement. It accepts and drains any water rising from the ground before it reaches the basement surface. Finally, the Twin Pack sump pump removes water from the basement through a discharge line. It is equipped with both a primary and secondary pump.

Paul M. no longer has to worry about his home's basement flooding. He now has a stable and waterproof basement.

These steel wall anchors extend from the inside of the basement wall to the hard backed soil outside. Wall anchors stabilize the walls and prevent further movement.

Roger A. no longer has to worry about further damage due to the bowing wall. He now has a safe and stable basement wall.

Crawlspace Sealed in Mt Vernon, IL

Jim and Sharon S. were experiencing standing water in their Mt Vernon, IL crawlspace. Worried about the affects it may have on the home, the family called Woods Basement Systems.

Woods installed CleanSpace to seal off the space and prevent water and moisture from getting in. A drainage mat 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 also installed a SaniDry. The SaniDry system filters moisture out of the air and makes the crawlspace less humid. Controlling the humidity in the crawlspace is important to preventing mold. The less moisture, the harder it is for the mold to grow.

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 crawlspace, 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. 

Drying out a Crawl Space in Woodlawn, IL

Mike was having issues with his crawl space.  He noticed that it was extra humid and wanted this problem to be corrected immediately before it did any further damage to his home.  He called Woods Basement Systems and had a Systems Design Specialist tell him what the issue was and how to properly correct it.  Mike found that CleanSpace, SaniDry, LawnScape, IceGuard, Smart Sump, Smart Pipe, Vent Covers, and an EverLast door would be the best options to make sure his crawlspace stays dry all year around.  So he got all of them and now his house is much healthier.

Wet Crawl Space in Mount Vernon, IL

A resident of Mount Vernon, IL called Woods Basement Systems to clean up his crawl space and eliminate humidity, odors, and mold.  He had been living in his house for 6 years and was aware of the problem since he first moved in.  He finally decided to do something about it when 4 inches of standing water accumulated in his crawl space.  Some of the wood had begun to rot, and this was a big concern of the resident.

Woods installed a CleanSpace Encapsulation System, including CleanSpace liner and a SaniDry CX.  The clean white material covered the floor and walls of the crawl space, making it a nice dry storage space for the resident.  The SaniDry CX acted as an air filter and dehumidifier, resulting in dry clean air in the crawl space. 

The resident was extremely pleased with the installation and how much of a difference it made in his crawl space.  Now he no longer had to worry about rotting wood and other issues that could lead to major problems in his crawl space.

WaterGuard Saves Wet Basement

A Carmi, IL resident was tired of dealing with a wet basement every time it rained for the past 22 years.  The water would come in through cracks in the walls and at the floor joints during heavy rains.  She was concerned about the possibility of mold and wanted a dry basement that she could use for storage.

Woods Basement Systems installed WaterGuard, IceGuard, and TrenchDrain in order to collect all of the water and lead it out and away from the house.  The resident was very pleased with the work that was done by Woods and said they were the most professional crew she has ever worked with.
