Why Does Concrete Sink in DeKalb, IL?
Located in DeKalb County, the area’s expansive clay soils, seasonal weather swings, and drainage challenges all contribute to uneven concrete.
Common causes include:
- Soil erosion from gutter runoff and stormwater
- Clay shrinkage and swelling due to moisture changes
- Improper compaction of soil when concrete was poured
- Frost heave during northern Illinois winters
- Tree roots or decaying organic matter beneath slabs
Why Choose PolyLevel® Instead of Mudjacking?

- Ready for use within 2-3 hours
