While famed for its fertile farmland, Indiana soils are composed of varying amounts of clay. Clay elements expand and contract as they absorbs moisture. Indiana’s state soil, Miami, is composed of a dark yellowish brown clay loam at the subsoil level (U.S.D.A.). As a result, changes in temperature and ground moisture throughout the year lead to expansion and shrinkage in the soil under your concrete. Voids develop under the concrete as a result. The freeze-thaw cycle and rainy or dry spells both contribute to this process in Indiana. When the soil is too weak to support the weight of concrete, the concrete begins to sink. Vehicles, foot traffic, furniture and other loads on top of the concrete add to the weight bearing down over a void. The result is sunken, unsafe concrete.
Residential concrete is used to provide stable entrances and walkways in and around your Indiana home. When that concrete degrades, it stops functioning the way it was intended and becomes unsafe. Cracked, sinking concrete is also unattractive, detracting from the beauty and value of your home.
About concrete settlement: An uneven concrete walkway, driveway or porch is a sign that the concrete has "settled." While settling may not sound disastrous, it can be if the amount of concrete settlement is extreme or uneven. When one corner or section of a concrete slab settles or sinks, it creates an uneven surface with the surrounding slabs of a pool deck, patio, or walkway, creating a serious tripping hazard. If the settlement increases, the concrete can crack, creating a much more disastrous problem around your home.A slab that sinks 1/2" may be 2" below its original level if not fixed right away. PolyLevel provides a fast, effective way to address uneven concrete early on to maintain your home's safety and appearance AND to prevent further decline in your concrete.

PolyLevel is a two-part expanding foam solution effective in many concrete repair applications, in both residential and commercial settings. Alternatives to PolyLevel include complete concrete replacement and “mud jacking,” an industrial application that uses a thick concrete slurry to fill in the gap underneath sunken concrete. Both of these techniques 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 your property, and affordable. PolyLevel is a less intrusive, lighter weight solution that doesn't add more weight to the problem.
