Concrete Raising

WATERPROOFING DIVISION

Concrete Raising in DuPage County.

Mudjacking, polyurethane foam lifting, sealing, and leveling. We lift sunken slabs back into place for a fraction of replacement cost.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

Every visit, every time.

Mudjacking

Slurry of soil + cement pumped under the slab through small ports.

Polyurethane foam lifting

Expanding foam — lighter, faster cure, no soil-displacement risk.

Concrete sealing & repair

Crack seal, joint caulk, surface sealer to prevent re-settling.

Sidewalk & driveway leveling

Trip-hazard mitigation; we re-level slabs back to grade.

HOW IT WORKS

Our process — 4 steps.

  1. Site visit

    Measure slab tilt, photograph crack pattern, check void cause.

  2. Method recommendation

    Mudjack for big slabs over stable soil; foam for tight access or weak soil.

  3. Lift

    Most slabs raised in under 4 hours; use is restored same-day for foam.

  4. Seal + warranty

    Joints and ports sealed; written warranty against re-settling.

QUESTIONS · ANSWERED

Concrete Raising questions, answered.

How do I know if I really have a water problem or just humidity?

A real water issue shows up after heavy rain — water at the floor edges, dark stains on the walls, or seepage at the corners. Pure humidity is musty smell, occasional summer dampness, and clammy walls without visible water. We can tell which it is during a 30-minute site visit.

How long does the typical fix take?

Interior drain tile + sump installation: 2-3 days. Exterior membrane waterproofing: 4-7 days including perimeter excavation and landscape restoration. Sump pump swap-out: same-day. Foundation crack repair: 1 day per major crack.

What kind of warranty do you offer?

Interior drain tile + sump systems: 25-year transferable warranty. Exterior membranes: 10-15 years. Foundation crack repair: 5-10 years depending on the crack type. Drainage repairs: 5 years. We put the warranty in writing on the contract.

Will the work damage my landscape?

Interior work doesn't touch the yard at all. Exterior membrane work requires perimeter excavation — usually 3-5 feet out from the foundation. We hand-dig around irrigation, photograph plantings before we start, and restore the landscape on the same crew rotation. Plant-replacement guarantee covers any losses.

Do you offer financing?

Yes — for projects $5,000 and up. Most homeowners qualify for 12 or 24-month deferred-interest plans through our lending partner. Application takes 10 minutes online, approval is usually same-day.
