LiftPro Concrete Leveling & Repair provides a practical solution for homeowners and businesses dealing with sunken, uneven concrete across the St. Louis Metro area and surrounding Southern Illinois communities. Located in Waterloo, Illinois, the company focuses on concrete lifting, leveling, and repair using polyurethane foam injection, helping clients avoid the expense and disruption of tearing out slabs that can often be restored. When concrete settles, it doesn’t just affect appearance—it creates trip hazards, drainage problems, and everyday frustration. LiftPro is built around making those problems easier to solve, offering a faster path to safer surfaces while keeping the work professional, straightforward, and minimally invasive. The team’s approach centers on restoring the original position of concrete slabs by addressing what’s happening beneath them. Settlement is commonly caused by voids under the slab, shifting soil, poor drainage, and seasonal freeze-thaw cycles that gradually weaken the base. Instead of treating only the surface issue, LiftPro focuses on stabilizing the subgrade so the concrete can be lifted and supported again. This method fits well for driveways, walkways, patios, porches, garages, and commercial areas where replacement is often seen as the only option. For many properties, lifting and leveling provides a smarter route—one that reduces downtime and preserves what’s still structurally usable.
Concrete replacement can feel like a last resort, yet it becomes the first recommendation. It’s expensive, disruptive, and time-consuming, especially for high-use areas like driveways and entry walkways. Full replacement usually requires demolition, hauling away debris, pouring new material, and waiting for curing, which can stretch into a week or longer depending on weather and scheduling. LiftPro’s concrete lifting and leveling services are positioned as an alternative for situations where the slab can be saved and re-leveled. The benefit for property owners is simple: less mess, less downtime, and a result that restores both safety and curb appeal. Choosing lifting and leveling also helps keep the repair focused on the true cause of the issue. Concrete doesn’t sink because it wants to—it sinks because the soil below shifts, erodes, compresses, or leaves empty voids. When those underlying conditions are improved, the slab can often be raised back into place instead of removed. LiftPro brings that practical perspective to every project, providing guidance rooted in what makes sense for the surface you have and the outcome you want, rather than pushing a bigger job just because it exists.
LiftPro uses polyurethane foam injection, commonly referred to as polyjacking, to lift concrete slabs. The process begins with small access holes drilled into the affected areas. Polyurethane foam is then injected beneath the slab, where it expands to fill voids and lift the concrete in a controlled manner. As the foam cures, it stabilizes the slab by strengthening the support under the surface. Because curing is fast, many areas can be used again within hours, making it ideal for driveways, sidewalks, and commercial spaces where downtime creates real inconvenience. What makes polyjacking especially valuable is its efficiency compared to older lifting methods. The access points are small, the lift can be fine-tuned, and the job can often be completed in a short visit. For property owners, that means the repair doesn't have to become a multi-week project with constant disruption. It becomes a targeted improvement that restores function quickly while leaving the surface looking cleaner and more uniform than many people expect from a repair-based solution.
Driveways take constant use, and even small settlements can create noticeable slopes, rough transitions, and water pooling where it shouldn't be. A sunken driveway also affects how a property looks from the street, making the home feel neglected even when everything else is maintained. LiftPro's driveway lifting service is designed to restore a more even grade and improve the overall appearance in a short time. By lifting and stabilizing the slab, the driveway becomes more comfortable to drive on and helps reduce issues caused by uneven joints and shifting sections. Walkways and sidewalks are often where safety concerns first show up. Uneven slabs create trip hazards that can put family members and visitors at risk, and they can become especially dangerous in wet or low-light conditions. LiftPro lifts and levels walkway slabs to create a smoother, safer path to the home. Beyond safety, a level walkway improves the visual flow of the entry and helps the property feel welcoming instead of awkward. For homeowners considering resale value, it also addresses a common objection buyers have when they spot a settlement near the front of the house.
