Concrete Leveling in Evanston, IL

Uneven or cracked concrete is a common issue in Evanston — especially with its mix of historic homes, lakefront weather conditions, and aging infrastructure. Whether you’re dealing with a sunken sidewalk, a shifting patio, or a cracked driveway, these issues can become tripping hazards and drainage problems if left unchecked.

Why Concrete Settles in Evanston

As a lakefront community in Cook County, Evanston experiences unique conditions that accelerate concrete settlement:
  • Soil erosion from Lake Michigan’s moisture and frequent rainfall
  • Clay-heavy soils that shrink and swell with changing seasons
  • Aging infrastructure with older walkways and poured slabs
  • Poor drainage from older gutter systems or flat grading
  • Freeze-thaw cycles that shift slabs during harsh winters
These factors create gaps beneath your concrete, leading to sloping, cracking, or sinking surfaces that worsen over time.

Why Choose PolyLevel® Instead of Mudjacking?

Traditional mudjacking can be messy, slow to cure, and too heavy for Evanston’s softer soils. PolyLevel® is a lightweight, high-density foam that lifts concrete from below with precision. It cures in just 15 minutes and won’t wash out or erode over time.

Benefits of PolyLevel® Concrete Raising in Evanston:

  • Tiny injection holes for a cleaner finish
  • Fast cure time — walk or drive on it the same day
  • Waterproof and resistant to future erosion
  • Lightweight — doesn’t add pressure to unstable soils
  • Environmentally safe — non-toxic and non-disruptive
  • Ideal for Evanston’s lakeside climate and older properties
Sinking and Uneven Concrete

Our Concrete Leveling Process

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.
