When bricks on the exterior or interior of your home shift creating cracks, this signals that foundation settlement is present. A permanent solution to this issue is by installing push piers into the footing of the foundation. Push piers lift and lock the foundation back into place to safely restore a troubled foundation.

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

Job Stories From West Salem, IL
Flooded West Salem, IL Basement Utilized WaterGuard & TwinPack

This severely water damaged basement had experienced flooding due to hefty water leaks. Pattie from West Salem, Illinois wanted to work with Woods Basement Systems to waterproof her basement the right way the first time. Pattie helped design her customized basement plan with system design specialist, Luke B., to find an optimal solution so that she wouldn't worry about water damage again. For protection, Luke recommended installing WaterGuard drains and a TwinPack sump pump.

The WaterGuard drains will be installed in the footing of the basement floors to collect the water leaks and send them to the TwinPack sump pump. The TwinPack sump pump contains two pumps, one primary and one backup, to ensure all water collected by the drains are pumped out of the house. The drainage system and sump pump were installed with the leadership of head foreman, Kevin J., and his team. This waterproofing duo will give Pattie the peace of mind that she deserves without fear of water damage again.
