Concrete Raising Northern IL Services for Chicago's Suburbs
Settled concrete is a common problem across Northern Illinois. Our harsh winters, spring thaws, and dry summers wreak havoc on soil and concrete. Just as our seasons change, so does the ground and surrounding concrete.
Every year, the weather in Northern Illinois often involves several thaw and refreezing cycles. When the ground changes, our concrete changes, and these changes cause problems – including settling. Concrete that sinks can create safety hazards, drainage issues and affect property values.
Acme Concrete’s primary focus is to provide the best solution and leveling services possible for sinking concrete. We do this with a team of skilled professionals who provide outstanding service across the Northwest suburbs of Illinois.

Polyurethane Foam Injection – The Modern Way to Raise Concrete
A key component of Acme Concrete’s Smart Lift System is the material we use – Polyurethane. Once protected by US Patent, the method of raising concrete using polyurethane was specifically reserved for Department of Transportation projects. This advanced system was and still is, used for highways and bridge approaches. Acme Concrete refers to this technology as Polyurethane Concrete Raising.
Polyurethane foam injection gives stronger, lighter, and denser concrete lifting than traditional methods, and it’s also completely water-resistant, making it the best and most popular option.
