In Chicago, a homeowner had a deteriorated concrete slab that was beyond the point where leveling was possible. While many concrete issues can be corrected with lifting and stabilization, some slabs are simply too damaged or compromised to be repaired effectively.
In this case, our team removed the failing concrete and prepared the area for a full replacement. Before pouring the new slab, we took an extra step to address a common cause of future settlement: poor water drainage. We installed an underground downspout extension beneath the new concrete to redirect water away from the area, helping prevent soil erosion and the formation of voids below the surface.
The result is a brand-new, properly supported concrete slab built for long-term performance. With improved drainage in place, the homeowner can feel confident that their new concrete is not only level and visually clean, but also protected against the same issues that caused the original failure.
