Concrete Raising Northern IL Services for Chicago's Suburbs
Settled concrete is a common problem across Northern Illinois. Our harsh winters, spring thaws, and dry summers wreak havoc on soil and concrete. Just as our seasons change, so does the ground and surrounding concrete.
Every year, the weather in Northern Illinois often involves several thaw and refreezing cycles. When the ground changes, our concrete changes, and these changes cause problems – including settling. Concrete that sinks can create safety hazards, drainage issues and affect property values.
Acme Concrete’s primary focus is to provide the best solution and leveling services possible for sinking concrete. We do this with a team of skilled professionals who provide outstanding service across the Northwest suburbs of Illinois.

Polyurethane Foam Injection – The Modern Way to Raise Concrete
A key component of Acme Concrete’s Smart Lift System is the material we use – Polyurethane. Once protected by US Patent, the method of raising concrete using polyurethane was specifically reserved for Department of Transportation projects. This advanced system was and still is, used for highways and bridge approaches. Acme Concrete refers to this technology as Polyurethane Concrete Raising. Polyurethane foam injection gives stronger, lighter, and denser concrete lifting than traditional methods, making it the best and most popular option. It also has a higher R-value than other kinds of insulation, which means the heat will not be transferred.
Polyurethane is also waterproof and, if used as a house wrap, can act as exterior insulation because it does not leave any gaps between the insulation and substrate. You also won’t have to worry about mold as it is mold and moisture-resistant

The majority of residential projects are completed within a matter of hours. Larger, more complex jobs like commercial contracts may require a full day or longer. Still, unlike mud jacking, our advanced process allows unrestricted use of lifted concrete slabs immediately. If we raise a driveway – it can be driven on immediately. Our process for lifting concrete is so powerful, we have raised driveway sections with cars still parked on them! Learn more about the strength of polyurethane.
