Acme Concrete Raising & Repair

Excessive step heights and tripping hazards caused by uneven sidewalks are regularly identified in annual commercial property inspections and during home inspections when you are trying to sell your property. Sunken, settled sidewalks can cause a variety of problems, including local building code violations, and require immediate concrete raising and leveling to avoid expensive property repairs and costly liability suits. Acme Concrete is a regional specialist in supporting, raising, leveling, and lifting concrete sidewalks and walkways in the Northwest suburbs of Chicago, IL.

Patios can settle for a number of reasons. Common causes include improper subbase construction or compaction and subbase erosion due to rainwater drainage problems. When a patio sinks along a home or foundation, rainwater begins to drain incorrectly into the settled area. This aggravates the settling problem by washing away soil beneath the concrete. Water draining towards a home can also find its way through foundation cracks and into your basement or crawlspace. Pool decks settle and create dangerous trip hazards.

Anytime you call a contractor or receive an estimate, you are being marketed to. And yes, most contractors tend to highlight assets, not liabilities. As a consumer, it is important to know what questions to ask and where to get accurate information. We at Acme Concrete Raising & Repair take pride in doing things correctly and putting our customers' best interests first. After all, we are consumers too. When looking to hire a company to raise and support concrete slabs with polyurethane at your property, we believe it is wise to select a contractor whose primary focus is doing just that - raising concrete with polyurethane.

Uneven surfaces, cracks, water pooling where you don't want it to, and feeling a large "bump" when you drive into your garage can all be symptoms of a big underlying problem: ground settlement. You need your concrete driveway leveled and repaired as soon as possible, and Acme Concrete can get the job done with our quick, cost-effective solutions. Driveways depend on a suitable subbase to provide the necessary support for heavy slabs and the loads they were designed to carry. If the subbase beneath concrete was not constructed with proper materials, or was not adequately compacted, settlement is the likely outcome.
