Concrete Lifting Services in Lake Barrington

Sunken concrete has a straightforward cause: the soil supporting it has lost volume, whether through water erosion, uneven compaction, or the natural give and take of wet and dry seasons. As a wooded Lake County community of larger estate properties, Lake Barrington presents a fairly wide mix of soil and drainage conditions, which is part of why we inspect the site before deciding on the right approach.

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.
