Concrete Lifting Services in Fox Lake

Sunken concrete is almost always a symptom of what’s happening in the soil below it, whether that’s water washing out fill, soil that settles unevenly, or ground that simply wasn’t compacted well to begin with. Given that Fox Lake is a Lake and McHenry County community centered on the Chain O’Lakes, where basements and lakeside patios often deal with extra moisture, the soil conditions our crews run into here can vary quite a bit from property to property, which is why we look before we lift.

We correct the settling by drilling a series of small holes through the slab and pumping in polyurethane foam. The foam expands to fill the void space, gradually raising the concrete back to its original level. It sets up quickly, so there’s little wait before the surface is usable again. The holes are patched, the surface is cleaned up, and the driveway, walkway, or patio is ready to use again the same day in most cases. It’s a quieter, faster process than demolition and repouring, with far less disruption to your yard or daily routine.
