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

Keeping Basement Air Dry

This large basement in Waterloo, IL. had waterproofing systems in place like a sump pump and waterproof liners on the walls. These systems couldn't keep the air dry, however. 

 

That's why homeowner Roger Z. turned to Mike B. from Woods Basement Systems to install a Sedona dehumidifier. The large space of the basement proved to be too much for the small dehumidifier Roger had, but wouldn't be a challenge for the Sedona. With the power to remove more than 12 gallons of moisture from the air, the Sedona can dry even large, open spaces like this. And because the Sedona drains the moisture it collects into the sump pump system, there's no buckets to empty and no shutting off because the dehumidifier is full. The Sedona will also filter the air from mold spores and dust mites while it's drying the air too.

 

This large basement space can now be used comfortably as the air is dried by the Sedona dehumidifier.

Brendan K. with a local Waterloo, IL business saw water standing in the basement that was used for storage. Worried that the business would loose important documents and equipment, Brendan called Woods Basement Systems. Woods was able to provide products to drain the business's basement and keep it dry.

Woods installed WaterGuard to help drain water out of the basement. WaterGuard is installed against the wall in the concrete of the floor. The water will flow into the WaterGuard, allowing the piping to lead the water out of the basement.

CleanSpace was installed on the basement walls to provide protection to the home. CleanSpace sealed off the basement to keep water out but also guided the water that got in to the WaterGuard. 

Woods also installed a discharge line that was attached to a Twin Pack sump pump. This sump pump would pump the water in the basement through the discharge line. The discharge line leads the water into the yard where it is drained. The line can become frozen or clogged in some situations. In order to prevent the water from backing up into the basement, Woods installed IceGuard. IceGuard provides an escape route for the water so that it does not back up into the basement.
