Concrete Lifting Services in Port Barrington

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 Port Barrington, where the area is a small village along the Fox River on the Lake and McHenry County line, run into these causes to varying degrees, so we start by identifying what’s actually happening under a given slab.

To correct the settling, we drill small access holes into the existing concrete and inject polyurethane foam beneath it. The foam fills the gaps left by eroded or settled soil and lifts the slab as it expands, restoring it to level without removing or replacing anything. Because the foam is lightweight and sets quickly, there’s minimal disturbance to the surrounding landscaping. Because this method doesn’t require excavation or new concrete, it’s typically faster than a full replacement and leaves your yard largely undisturbed. It works well on driveways, walkways, patios, garage floors, and other exterior flatwork.
