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
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
