Concrete Lifting and Leveling Photo Album: Leveling Driveway Using PolyLevel
In Troy, Illinois homeowner Patty B. needed some help fixing the concrete slabs of her driveway and walkway. In recent years, they had become uneven, cracked, and could be a potential hazard for her family and guests. After hearing form a friend that Woods Basement Systems did concrete leveling, she decided to give them a call.
Our foreman Jon Lee and his team out to the home to level out her concrete driveway and walkway. They used our patented PolyLevel System. PolyLevel is a state-of-the-art approach to repairing sinking concrete. This solution does not present the same issues as mud jacking or concrete replacement, and can be easily used in a variety of applications. Whether you are experiencing a sinking driveway; uneven, hazardous sidewalks; a damaged, unsafe patio or any other concrete surface that needs stabilized, Polylevel provides a quick, clean and permanent solution.
Installing PolyLevel
A minimum number of pea-sized holes are drilled into the slab, and specialized equipment is used to inject the polymer foam into the voids under the unable slab.
Even Slabs
After installing PolyLevel the difference is almost instant, as you can see now the slabs are even and stable.
Installing PolyLevel
After the voids are filled, the specially formulated material expands.
Installing PolyLevel
After the material expands, the polymer will provide precise lifting and stabilization of the slab without adding any significant weight.
