Here's another set of front entrance stairs that we recently raised back up to their original step height.

This front stoop was settled on the right side, as well as the front side, making it more like a ramp, which can be dangerous when it's wet and icy. We were hired to raise and level it back to it's original position, as well as the attached sidewalk leading up to the front entrance. Call today to schedule an appointment for your free estimate.

Another sidewalk that needed attention got raised by us to solve a difficult step for the elderly home owner, as well as a low spot and tripping hazard. He told me that this area was the low spot, and would fill up with rain water and worse, ice during the winter. We raised it back to it's proper height and drainage grade, and the problem is gone! He saved a couple thousand bucks in the process, and also needed no new landscaping when we were done. The sidewalk is ready for walking traffic immediately after we're through.

Here's another pretty big sidewalk and stair raising job that we worked on. As you can see, it had cracked and settled a lot in several places along the path. We raised up the walk and stairs, and got everything back to level grade and draining away from the house for the customer. They were contracting another company to overlay a decorative coating over it. Give us a call to set up an appointment for your free estimate today. (815)459-6346 is our Crystal Lake office number.

The most frequent problem we are hired to solve is a settled front entrance sidewalk. Here's another example of one we recently raised, which had a dangerous step height that was nearly twice as tall as it should be. We raised the sidewalk back to it's original height, and in the process restored proper drainage away from the home as well. Give us a call at (815)459-6346 at our Crystal Lake office to schedule your appointment today. Besides the McHenry County and surrounding area, we also service the southern central Wisconsin area, as well.

Here's a driveway we recently raised that had just been previously raised by the local poly-foam guys again, just 4 years prior. Look how far the driveway had re-settled from the garage floor. After we started drilling, we quickly realized one of the causes; the black dots around the hole drilled are ants. They were living in, and most likely consuming the foam. The claims that that material is impervious to insects are simply not true. We only use structural mortar that we mix on site. It's a mixture of aggregate, bentonite clay, and portland cement, to provide a super strong structural base for any concrete we raise and level.

Our customer purchased this home over the winter, and the sidewalk entrance was severely settled and holding ice and water. Not the best combination for an entranceway to a home. We were able to raise it back to the correct step height, restore water drainage away from the home onto the driveway, and save them thousands of dollars instead of replacement. Give us a call to schedule your free estimate to see if we can solve your settling concrete needs. (815)459-6346.

Here's a front porch and entry sidewalk that had settled quite a bit. In both instances, the rain water was draining towards the house and the steps were too tall for comfortable entry. We raised both up back to original height, and restored proper drainage of rain water in the process. Give us a call to get your project quoted and under way. (815)459-6346 is our Crystal Lake office number.

Here's another example of a badly settled entrance sidewalk that an elderly homeowner was having difficulty navigating. It cracked and had settled almost 7" down, creating a bad low spot in the grade that was holding water and freezing in the winter. We raised it back to it's original height, and the customer's son dropped off a couple dozen bags of topsoil, and we installed it on the sides of the low area in the grass so they could immediately plant some new grass seed. This is necessary to do to keep the local animals from digging under the sidewalks, too. Give us a call for your free estimate today. (815)459-6346 at our Crystal Lake office.

Here's another patio that we recently restored that had settled about 3" and was draining all rain water towards the basement, and water was getting in. We raised and returned the patio to it's original height, which made it drain away from the house, and the step down off of the back stoop was restored to a safer 7" normal height. If your concrete has settled, give us a call to schedule a free appointment and get it back to where it belongs so you can enjoy it without problems. (815)459-6346 is our Crystal Lake office number.

This homeowner just purchased this home, and the front entrance steps had settled 6" down from the porch, and turned too much towards the house as well.

If your concrete is settling and has tripping hazards, give us a call for a free estimate. We can save you thousands of dollars vs. replacement. (815)459-6346 is our Crystal Lake office number.

Remember that experience matters to the outcome of a project. I bring 36 years of concrete raising and problem solving to your project. The local "poly-foam" guys couldn't get this one raised. They walked away. The homeowner was seriously nervous when she hired me to repair her front porch. The estimate to replace it was exactly 10 times higher than what we charged to raise and level it. We finished the job in just under two hours, and used 5 tons of structural mortar, but in the end, the stoop was saved and brought back up to it's original height, and the column was re-installed tightly in it's original place.

Spring is in the air, and it's time to get those projects started. This driveway apron had settled 3" over the years, and the new homeowner didn't like the collection of snow and ice in front of the garage doors, or the speed bump to get in. We raised and leveled it even with the garage floor, the full length of the 3 car garage. Give us a call to set up your appointment at (815)459-6346.

The weather is warming, and the 2024 concrete raising season is starting. We are now scheduling appointments for estimates, and raising work has begun again. This is our 35th season is business.

Does your driveway have a speed bump going into your garage?

A safe step height is right around 7". Here's a set of front steps that needed to be raised back to where they were originally poured when new. This set of stairs just so happened to be about 27" thick of concrete (I measured down the hole), which is just ridiculous. I have a 32" long drill bit that was just the right tool, and we got the job completed. Give us a call to get your project taken off your list with confidence. (815)459-6346 is our Crystal Lake office number.

This patio was draining rain water directly towards the house, and a leak was allowing the water in the basement.
