Patio Pitch Fixes for Tight Urban Lots
Evanston lots leave little room for water to go. We repair settled patios and re-establish pitch away from basements and brick foundations, often saving slabs that still have sound core concrete.
Concrete Patio Repair for Evanston homes
Assessing the Slab
Not all cracks are equivalent. Hairline shrinkage cracks may simply be sealed, whereas wide or displaced cracks could require epoxy injection or sectional replacement. We assess the slab’s structural condition and drainage before recommending any solution.
Leveling Without Demolition
When a patio has settled but remains structurally intact, mudjacking or polyurethane foam injection can restore it to grade at a fraction of replacement cost. The work concludes in hours, not days, and the slab is usable almost immediately.
A Surface Renewed
For patios that are sound but worn, a polymer-modified overlay reinstates a fresh, uniform surface and can even accommodate a decorative finish. Proper joint sealing and a slight pitch away from the house protect the renewed surface through the North Shore winters.

Vintage Evanston brickwork merits more than a temporary fix.
