Conditions where outdoor concrete has already begun to sink is not uncommon in Illinois and is often the result of shifting or a weak soil base or erosion. It causes driveways, sidewalks, walkways, concrete steps or patio areas to become tripping hazards and can effect property value.
Illinois, also known as The Prairie State, hosts a variety of soil types, ranging in density and load-bearing capacities. Located in the heart of the Midwest, the terrain ranges from urban Chicago to the prairielands of central Illinois to the Ohio river in the south.
Soil in any environment can change, however. When the weight above the soil exceeds the soil below, the soil will compact and settle. Clay and silt can also cause soil to compact when it becomes dry. Regardless of the reason, once soil becomes compact, heavy concrete above the soil will sink and crack. It's a gravity thing!
While it is a very noticeable problem, with the right contractor, it can have a very simple solution.
Previously, sinking concrete was repaired by a technique called "mud jacking" that uses a thick slurry to fill in the gap underneath the sunken concrete. While effective, it is not the most efficient way to solve the problem, and adds more weight above the compacting soil.
Today, select contractors in Illinois are trained and to provide a better alternative to mud jacking. PolyLevel is a less intrusive, lighter weight solution that doesn't add more weight to the problem.
If you are seeing signs of sinking concrete on your property, have a contractor to provide the PolyLevel alternative to mud jacking take a look at it. The following Illinois contractors are trained and to provide a free estimate to solve your sinking concrete problem.

Comment: My moms house has a 3 car garage. Roughly 24x36, the concrete is somewhat caved in the middle of the floor with a big crack leading down it. If I would guess it would be about 2-3 inches in the worst spot to where it has fallen from its original position. Looking for a quote to get it filled and repaired back to its correct height. Thank you.
