Woodford Bros., Inc. Q&A

Most concrete leveling and repair projects take our crews a single day to complete, and PolyLevel cures quickly, allowing your concrete to be used normally the same day. Alternate solutions like mudjacking or concrete replacement often require more time and disruption, as well as longer cure times, which could mean parking on the street or avoiding your sidewalk or front steps. 

Yes. Concrete leveling with PolyLevel is not only less expensive than full concrete replacement, but it's also a much quicker repair process and far less disruptive to the surrounding grass and landscaping. There's almost no wait time for the concrete to cure before you can walk or drive on it, and unlike concrete replacement, PolyLevel actually fills voids and compacts underlying soil, which stabilizes your concrete for years to come. 

Your concrete most likely didn't settle, but instead the adjacent concrete slabs heaved upwards, due to the frozen dirt below. There is nothing that can be done but wait for the ground to thaw and the concrete to return to its original position. If the concrete doesn't return to its normal position in the spring, you may want to have one of our experts take a look to determine if a permanent solution is necessary.

Driveways, walkways, and sidewalks are exposed to a lot of wear and tear. When the soil supporting it becomes weak or a void is formed, concrete slabs can crack and sink. There are many things that can create a void beneath a concrete slab, such as erosion from rainwater or gutter runoff, or a tree root that has rotted over time. Clogged gutters, downspouts that are not installed correctly, and poor yard drainage can make erosion worse. Dirt fill underneath the slab that has not been well compacted can also create voids beneath the concrete.
