Concrete Lifting Services in Hawthorn Woods

Concrete settles for a handful of reasons: soil that was never compacted properly at the time of the original pour, water that slowly erodes the fill underneath, or ground that naturally shifts with wet and dry cycles through the seasons. Properties throughout Hawthorn Woods, where the area is a wooded, low-density Lake County village with larger lots and long driveways, run into these causes to varying degrees, so we start by identifying what’s actually happening under a given slab.

Our process involves drilling a pattern of small holes into the slab and pumping polyurethane foam beneath it. The foam spreads to fill the gaps left behind by settled or washed out soil, lifting the concrete evenly as it expands and setting up within a few hours. This approach works well for driveways, walkways, patios, and pool decks, and it typically takes less time and causes less disruption than removing and repouring an entire section of concrete.
