The Real Seal Basement Waterproofing and Foundation Repair’s concrete leveling services in Glenview include lifting and leveling sinking concrete slabs, patios, driveways, or walkways. Expanding polyurethane foam is used during the polyjacking procedure. For leveling concrete effectively, it offers a quicker, more dependable, non-toxic alternative to mudjacking.

Why Does Concrete Settle?

Concrete can sink for diverse reasons, including insufficient compaction, unfavorable site conditions, bad drainage, and tree roots. Rain or gutter water washing away soil from your driveway or sidewalk is the leading cause of this issue. Concrete settles due to the voids or pockets that remain beneath it.

The presence of clay in the soil, which alters in size in response to soil moisture levels, is another concern. When the soil becomes water-saturated, it expands. It also contracts when it dries out. Because of the constant fluctuations in moisture, the soil becomes unstable, which causes the concrete to move and sink.

Concrete Leveling in Glenview, IL

Concrete Leveling Using Polyjacking

A sturdy base of soil should be used to support the concrete. If the soil is still unstable, the problem can repeat itself even if the slab is replaced.

Benefits of Polyjacking​

Quick Action

After a quick 15 minute injection, you can walk all over the concrete slab. The slab can handle vehicular traffic as well.

Minimally-Invasive

It merely takes a few minutes to perform poly-jacking and the technique is minimally invasive making it a comfortable solution for owners.

Lightweight

The foam constitutes lightweight polyurethane which is a strong medium in contrast to other market techniques like mudjacking, which uses heavy materials.

Eco-friendly

The foam used for polyjacking prevents soil from poisoning as it does not let any harmful chemical substances seep into the ground.

Pocket-friendly

Property owners can save almost 50% of their usual concrete slab replacement costs if they choose concrete leveling by polyjacking.

Waterproof

Polyurethane foam is waterproof and it does not get weakened by exposure to water.

What Is The Process Of Polyjacking Concrete Leveling?

Polyjacking is performed through a simple, three-step process. Here’s how it works:

Concrete Leveling

Step 1: Drilling Holes

First, we drill dime-sized holes in the sunken concrete surfaces.

Concrete Leveling

Step 2: Injecting Polyurethane Foam

Next, we inject durable polyurethane foam through the holes beneath the concrete.

Concrete Leveling

Step 3: Stabilization

Lastly, we wait for the polyurethane foam to expand. As it expands and hardens, it lifts the slab, stabilizing your concrete surface.

The polyurethane foam we use in polyjacking is nonorganic and doesn’t erode or decompose over time. So, the polyjacking process is a long-lasting and useful solution for sinking concrete.

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.
