Uneven concrete
Uneven or sinking concrete is a problem for both residential and commercial properties across Chicago.
What Is Uneven or Sinking Concrete?
When concrete surfaces aren’t level or flat or display variations in height or slope across their surfaces, it’s called uneven concrete. This can happen to concrete structures like floors, sidewalks, driveways, patios, parking lots, warehouses, and more. Uneven concrete can pose both aesthetic and functional problems and may need to be addressed for safety and usability reasons.
Uneven concrete surfaces can create trip hazards, affect the area’s functionality, and impact the overall aesthetics. The best method for repairing uneven concrete depends on the specific circumstances and severity of the issue. Our team offers professional concrete leveling services for Chicago area home and business owners using PolyLevel polyjacking.
