What Causes Concrete to Sink in Barrington?

Like many areas in Cook and Lake County, Barrington is susceptible to seasonal weather swings and soil movement. Common causes of sinking concrete include:
  • Soil erosion due to heavy rain or improper drainage
  • Expansive clay soil that shrinks and swells with moisture changes
  • Poor compaction of fill soil beneath slabs
  • Tree root decay or organic matter decomposition
  • Freeze-thaw cycles common in northern Illinois
These factors can lead to gaps under your concrete surfaces, causing them to crack, tilt, or sink.

Why Choose PolyLevel® Over Mudjacking?

PolyLevel® is a state-of-the-art solution for lifting concrete slabs. Unlike traditional mudjacking, which uses a heavy cement-based slurry, PolyLevel® uses lightweight, high-density polyurethane foam. It expands beneath the slab to fill voids and gently lift the surface back into place — without adding extra weight or stress to the soil.

Benefits of PolyLevel®:

  • Cures in 2-4 hours
  • Minimally invasive (smaller drill holes)
  • Waterproof and won’t wash out
  • Long-lasting and precise lift
  • Safe for immediate use
It’s ideal for homeowners in Barrington looking for a clean, fast, and permanent fix.

Our Concrete Leveling Process

1. Inspection & Evaluation

We start with a detailed on-site inspection to evaluate the severity and cause of the uneven concrete.

2. Drill & Prep

We drill small access holes (less than a dime in size) into the slab for injection points.

3. Foam Injection (Polyjacking)

Polyurethane foam is injected beneath the slab, expanding to lift and level the concrete precisely.

Yes. PolyLevel® is lighter, faster-curing, more precise, and less invasive than traditional mudjacking. It doesn’t add extra weight to already unstable soil and won’t wash out over time. Plus, you can walk or drive on your surface within 15–30 minutes after application.

If the cracks are caused by settlement or voids under the slab, yes — leveling can stabilize and often close the cracks. If the cracks are due to severe damage or heaving, additional repair methods may be needed. Our experts will evaluate the slab and recommend the right solution.
