Concrete Lifting Services in Hanover Park

When a slab sinks, it’s rarely a flaw in the concrete itself. More often it comes down to the soil underneath losing volume, whether from erosion, poor original compaction, or seasonal shifts in moisture. Because Hanover Park is a Cook and DuPage County suburb with residential neighborhoods built mainly from the 1960s through the 1980s, properties here can be affected by more than one of these causes at once, which is why we look closely at each slab and the ground around it before recommending a fix.

To lift a settled slab, we drill small holes and inject polyurethane foam beneath the concrete. As the foam expands, it fills the voids left by the eroded or compacted soil and lifts the slab back to its intended grade, curing quickly enough that there’s little downtime before the area sees use again. Because the foam is lightweight and sets quickly, the surface can typically handle foot and vehicle traffic again shortly after the job is finished. It’s a practical option for driveways, sidewalks, patios, and other flatwork around the property.
