What Causes Uneven Concrete in Des Plaines?

From the neighborhoods around Lake Park to the tree-lined streets near Central Road, Des Plaines properties often face concrete settlement due to:
  • Soil washout from heavy rain and poor drainage
  • Freeze-thaw cycles that cause expansion and contraction
  • Improper soil compaction during initial construction
  • Decomposing organic material or tree roots beneath slabs
  • Groundwater or gutter runoff undermining the base

Over time, these factors create gaps under your concrete, causing slabs to sink, crack, or shift.

Why Choose PolyLevel® Instead of Mudjacking?

Traditional mudjacking uses a slurry mix of soil and cement to lift slabs — but it’s heavy, messy, and slow to cure. PolyLevel® is a smarter solution.
  • Lightweight & non-invasive: Won’t add extra weight to weak soil
  • Fast curing: Walk or drive on surfaces in as little as 4 hours
  • Waterproof & erosion-resistant: Great for areas with drainage issues
  • Smaller injection holes: Less disruption to your concrete’s appearance
  • Precision lifting: Expands to fill voids and raise slabs evenly
If you want lasting results and minimal downtime, PolyLevel® is the clear choice for homeowners in Des Plaines.

How Our Concrete Leveling Process Works

1. Inspection & Evaluation

We start with a detailed on-site inspection to evaluate the severity and cause of the uneven concrete.

2. Drill & Prep

We drill small access holes (less than a dime in size) into the slab for injection points.

3. Foam Injection (Polyjacking)

Polyurethane foam is injected beneath the slab, expanding to lift and level the concrete precisely.
