You can blame your sinking concrete on Iowa soils. While famous for its rich farming soil ("black gold") and an official soil called Tama, Iowa actually has over 450 different soils. Many of these soils are composed of silty clay loam (U.S. Department of Agriculture). We know that clay elements are absorbent, expanding and contracting in response to changes in ground moisture and temperature. The freeze/thaw cycle as winter turns into spring contributes to this process in Iowa. This soil movement leads to voids and these voids aren't able to support the weight of the concrete above them. The concrete starts sinking, as a result. Other causes include initial soil that is too weak to begin with or a single event causes erosion in and around your concrete.
Residential concrete is used to provide stable, sturdy entrances and walkways in and around your Iowa home. When concrete settlement occurs, those walkways, patio floors, pool decks and steps stops functioning the way they were intended and become unsafe. Cracked, uneven concrete is unappealing and may affect the value of your home.

PolyLevel is a two-part expanding foam solution to raising concrete in both residential and commercial settings. Alternatives to PolyLevel include complete concrete replacement and “mud jacking,” an industrial application that uses a cement slurry to fill in the gap underneath sunken concrete slabs. Both of these methods are excessive when fixing a set of stairs that has pulled away from the home, or a section of patio concrete slab that is uneven. Using foam to raise sunken concrete is fast, effective, less disruptive to property, and affordable. PolyLevel is a less intrusive, lighter weight solution that doesn't add more weight to the problem.
