What Causes Uneven Concrete in West Chicago?

Several factors specific to West Chicago and the surrounding DuPage County area contribute to settling concrete:

  • Seasonal freeze-thaw cycles that cause expansion and contraction
  • Water runoff and poor drainage from downspouts and heavy rains
  • Clay-heavy soils that shrink and swell with moisture changes
  • Organic material decomposition under the concrete
  • Improper soil compaction at the time of installation
These conditions create voids beneath slabs, leading to sinking and instability over time.

Why PolyLevel® is Better Than Mudjacking

Traditional mudjacking involves pumping a heavy slurry of cement and soil beneath the slab — which can add more weight to already unstable soil. PolyLevel® is different. This high-density polyurethane foam:

  • Is lightweight and won’t add pressure to soil
  • Expands quickly to lift slabs precisely
  • Cures in just 2-4 hours
  • Is waterproof and resists future erosion
  • Requires smaller injection holes than mudjacking
  • Leaves your surface clean and ready for use the same day
It’s a smarter, more modern solution for concrete repair in West Chicago.

Our Concrete Leveling Process in West Chicago

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.
