Concrete leveling services in Fox River Grove include lifting and leveling sinking concrete slabs, patios, driveways, or walkways. Expanding polyurethane foam is used during the polyjacking procedure. It offers a quicker, more dependable, and non-toxic alternative to mudjacking for effectively leveling concrete.

Why Does Concrete Settle?

Multiple factors, such as inadequate compaction, adverse site conditions, poor drainage, and tree roots, can lead concrete to settle. The most prominent cause of this problem is when rain or gutter water washes away dirt from your driveway or sidewalk. As a result, the concrete is left with voids or pockets beneath it, which causes it to settle.

Another factor is clay-rich soil, which changes in size according to soil moisture levels. The soil expands when it gets water-saturated. Additionally, it shrinks as it dries out. As a result, the soil becomes unstable because of the frequent changes in moisture, which cause the concrete to shift and sink.

Concrete Leveling Using Polyjacking

The concrete should be supported by a solid foundation of dirt. If the problem is weak soil, even after the slab is replaced the problem can reoccur. Polyjacking is the perfect answer to this problem.

Benefits of Polyjacking

Quick Action

Just 15-minutes after the injection, you can readily walk over the concrete slab. The slab is strong enough to accommodate vehicular traffic, too.

Minimally-Invasive

The technique is minimally invasive for homeowners as it does not make use of any major excavation or digging.

Lightweight

The foam is made up of lightweight polyurethane as opposed to other market techniques like mudjacking, which uses heavy materials.

Eco-friendly

The foam used for polyjacking does not let any dangerous substances seep into the ground and prevents soil poisoning.

Pocket-friendly

Property owners can save up to 50% of the usual concrete slab replacement costs if they choose concrete leveling by polyjacking.

Waterproof

Polyurethane foam does not get affected by water as it is completely waterproof.

Jordan was great. He was fast he was efficient he cleaned up the work area well after it was over. He also had to work in a reasonably small space and did so without issue. This is the second time we've used real seal and would happily do so if we need to in the future.

Jordan was professional and answer all of my questions about the work both before he started and after completion. Very much appreciated that he left the area outside clean and cleared away all material that he was using in the process! We’ll see how the repair holds up and performs over time.

Hi -- I recently had Real Seal replace a basement stairwell "dumb" drain with a grate or channel drain. This was after 20+ years of once a year or so getting a little water under the basement back door. I was skeptical this was going to solve the problem, but the nuisance was enough to take a flyer. The solution worked perfectly, as demonstrated by the recent torrential rains at the end of July. The new drain fed the sump quickly (firing the pump every 15 seconds or so.) Quite the relief. The job was done quickly and cleanly and the results not only work great but look great. The pricing was reasonable. BTW, a couple of years ago I had private equity owned company that advertises constantly come by and suggest installing a new drain tile system at enormous expense, mess and inconvenience even though the existing drain tile system, which was put in when the house was built in the late 90s, seemed to work just fine and there had never been a water intrusion anywhere but at the back door. I'm glad I took a pass on this "solution". The only open point is that I need to figure out how to pull the grate so I can clean out the p-bend, which can collect sand and dirt over time. If anyone at the company is monitoring Google Reviews, please give me call -- this is my real name and you have my number. Thanks for solving this problem.

Real Seal was a very professional company to work with. Omar arrived and fixed my foundation crack skillfully, and cleaned up the surrounding area when he was done.

I had a mixed experience with Real Seal, but overall would rate as 5 stars because of the excellent installation, efficiency and professionalism of Mr. Jamparo Gonzalez and his team. They communicated week, cleaned up impeccably every day, and ended up finishing the job ahead of schedule. The drain tile they installed is of the highest quality work, and I could not have asked for more. The office gave me a bit of trouble - didn’t send instruction on the sump pump/back up modem, until I called twice and spoke to 3 people, and they also sent me a message saying I had a balance due, despite me paying the invoice in full according to the contract, on the day the work was completed. I called and left a message to clear things up, but no one called back after a week, so will assume it’s resolved. Lesson learned is that when they want something, they will call you, but if you need something it takes some persistence.

Carlos came out to seal a crack in our basement. He worked hard and was very courteous and did a great job fixing a crack we had. He even fixed another crack he saw. Would 100% use again and hope we would get Carlos Z again.
