Concrete Raising & Leveling Warranties
https://www.youtube.com/embed/98KrWQEICGc BUYER BEWARE! Many Warranties Are Deceptive! If a company presents a warranty for a specified duration, it’s easy to assume the company would stand behind their work for that amount of time. Unfortunately, this is not always the case.

Concrete Porch Repair Crystal Lake
Not only was this concrete front porch unsightly, it was severely pitched toward the home. Any rainwater that collected on the porch would run to the home and eventually end up under the slab.

Raising Sunken Crystal Lake Concrete
Here is another great example of what we see every day! This garage approach settled where it meets the driveway. In this case, the sinking concrete becomes a “self-perpetuating” problem.

Most concrete trip hazards and misalignment problems develop slowly over time and are the result of concrete settling. However, you might see a problem involving an area of concrete that appears to be “raised”.
