🚀 *See a Failed Concrete Raising Project Repaired!*
Have you had concrete raising work done by another company that didn't last, or perhaps even made things worse? In this video, you'll see a real-world example of how Acme Concrete Raising & Repair can expertly repair a previously failed poly-lift project, restoring your concrete to a safe and stable condition.

🎬 *What You'll See:*
Watch as we diagnose and effectively rectify a concrete area that was previously lifted by another company, but unfortunately failed due to improper techniques or materials. We'll show you how Acme rectifies these issues, providing a truly lasting solution.

🏆 *The Specialist Difference:*
We often get calls to fix "polylift" concrete raising projects done by another company, but ultimately failed. This unfortunately happens more often than you’d think, because many assume that as long as a contractor uses _any_ polyurethane, the job will be successful and last. This couldn't be further from the truth. The problem often stems from contractors cutting costs by using low-density foams that compress over time, or failing to inject enough material in sufficient locations, leading to voids and premature settling. At Acme Concrete Raising & Repair, we focus exclusively on polyurethane concrete raising and stabilization, and we know that the type of polyurethane used and how it’s installed is absolutely critical. We use only high-quality polyurethane and follow strict installation procedures utilizing our unique Smart Lift System®, ensuring long-lasting, reliable results. Concrete is a major investment, and trusting anyone less than a true specialist puts that investment at risk. If a less experienced provider makes a mistake, it could mean thousands in repairs or even full replacement. For something this important, it’s simply not worth the risk—always trust a specialist who understands the nuances of proper material selection and precise injection techniques.

⏱️ *How It Works:*
Our process for rectifying previously failed polylift concrete raising projects is thorough. First, we assess the existing conditions and drill small, dime-sized holes in strategic locations to address the underlying issues. Then, we meticulously inject a specialized, expanding polyurethane foam beneath the compromised slab. This foam quickly fills any voids left by previous work and gently lifts the concrete back to its original, stable position. Finally, we patch the small injection holes, leaving your surface properly supported and ready for immediate use, ensuring a lasting repair.

🚧 *Common Problems We Solve:*
- Sunken or settled garage floors  
- Trip hazards on sidewalks, driveways, stoops, and steps  
- Settled houses on slabs or slab-on-grade homes  
- Sinking or cracked patios and pool decks  
- Water pooling and drainage issues  
- Voids beneath foundations or concrete flatwork  
- Unstable soil conditions beneath structures  
- Failing seawalls and soil washout zones  
- Sinking sheds or outdoor buildings  
- Sunken interior floors in residential, commercial, or industrial buildings

Many people assume that as long as a contractor uses polyurethane, their concrete raising project will be successful and last a long time.

This could not be further from the truth!

The type of polyurethane used and how it’s installed is absolutely critical!

Some contractors cut costs by using low-density foams that compress over time, leading to future settling. Others don’t inject material in enough locations, leaving voids beneath the slabs. This puts excessive stress on the foam and also results in premature failure.

At Acme Concrete Raising & Repair, we use only high-quality polyurethane and follow strict installation procedures utilizing our Smart Lift System, ensuring long-lasting, reliable results. Don’t settle for a quick, cheap fix—demand a true specialist!

Raising Commercial Concrete in Schaumburg

September 23, 2024 8:00 am

🚀 *See How Sunken Concrete is Saved, Quickly and Economically, with Polyurethane!*
Watch our team bring severely settled exterior concrete surfaces back to life at The Fountains of Arlington, a condominium community in Arlington Heights, Illinois. This property, developed in the mid-2010s by Gettysburg Development Corp. on the former Goebbert and Sons farm site, had been experiencing significant sinking issues.

🎬 *What You'll See:*
In this video, you'll witness firsthand how we transformed over 600 feet of sunken sidewalks and stabilized access ramps at The Fountains of Arlington. See how our polyurethane concrete raising process effectively remedied severe trip hazards and solved persistent drainage issues throughout the property, saving otherwise perfectly functional concrete quickly and economically.

🏆 *The Specialist Difference:*
At Acme Concrete Raising & Repair Inc., we focus exclusively on polyurethane concrete raising and stabilization—not coatings, power washing, or other add-ons. All our jobs use the Smart Lift System® for results you can count on. Concrete is a major investment, and if a less specialized provider makes a mistake, it can mean thousands in repairs or even full replacement. That’s why it’s in your best interest to trust a true specialist—not a multi-service company or anyone offering generic poly lift. When it comes to your property, it’s simply not worth the risk.

⏱️ *How It Works:*
Our concrete leveling process involves drilling small, dime-sized holes into the sunken slab. Through these holes, we inject a specialized polyurethane foam beneath the concrete. As the foam expands, it gently lifts the slab back to its original position, filling any voids and providing long-term stabilization to the subgrade. It's a precise, efficient, and clean process that minimizes disruption and delivers lasting results.

🚧 *Common Problems We Solve:*
- Sunken or settled garage floors  
- Trip hazards on sidewalks, driveways, stoops, and steps  
- Settled houses on slabs or slab-on-grade homes  
- Sinking or cracked patios and pool decks  
- Water pooling and drainage issues  
- Voids beneath foundations or concrete flatwork  
- Unstable soil conditions beneath structures  
- Failing seawalls and soil washout zones  
- Sinking sheds or outdoor buildings  
- Sunken interior floors in residential, commercial, or industrial buildings

This project is a great representation of how sunken, but otherwise perfectly functional, concrete can be saved - quickly and economically!

The Fountains of Arlington is a condominium community developed in the mid-2010s by Gettysburg Development Corp. This community is located in Arlington Heights, Illinois, on the former site of the Goebbert and Sons farm and farm stand. Since its construction, the exterior concrete surfaces have suffered from extensive sinking, causing drainage issues and trip hazards throughout the property.

In summary, this project involved:

- Over 600 feet of sidewalks
- Access ramp stabilization
- Remedying trip hazards
- Solving drainage issues

Acme utilized high-density polyurethane, meeting the compressive strength requirements of the Illinois Tollway. This material was used to raise and stabilize the slabs using a specialized air-purged injector system which promotes proper material flow & spread beneath the concrete.

Expert Concrete Lifting at Fountains of Arlington

May 26, 2024 12:26 pm

We work with a lot of property managers, and I gotta say, we have a lot of respect for you. You guys have a tough job! With that being said, the last thing you need when hiring a contractor is to find out your HERO is really a ZERO.

At some point, you’ll need to deal with settled concrete. You may be aware that polyurethane is the best way to deal with sunken concrete, but there are SO MANY companies that have added concrete raising to their service offerings. So who do you choose?

Well, one of the most important things you will need is expert guidance. Our estimators keep your community's best interests at heart by helping you understand what should be raised versus what shouldn’t be. Concrete raising can’t solve every problem.

Far too many commercial and HOA projects falter due to inexperienced “sales people” unknowingly setting projects up for failure. Your estimator should have the experience of a well seasoned installer, guiding you with real expertise. The ticket to a successful concrete raising project is relying on a company that’s focused on raising concrete, not a multi-service waterproofing or concrete coating company. 

Your clients, their concrete, and your reputation are just too valuable to put at risk. Raising concrete is the only thing we do. In fact, we’re Chicagoland’s original polyurethane specialist! All our staff, from the office, to estimators to field crews, focus on one thing and one thing only: providing the very best polyurethane concrete raising services in Chicagoland. We have the specialized equipment, materials, and expertise to make sure your project is safe and successful.

Acme did a great job lifting my driveway and the steps to the front door. Notice the before and after pics where step was raised 3-4 inches to make the steps much safer. Nick was very professional and he did a 3 car driveway and steps in 4-5 hours.
