Concrete Lifting Services in Trout Valley Union

Most homeowners don’t think much about the soil under a driveway until the concrete on top of it starts to sink, and by that point water has usually been finding its way underneath for a while. Given that Trout Valley Union is a small, low-density residential community in McHenry County, 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.

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.
