Driveway Leveling and Foam Injection in Glenview
Glenview is a large village with miles of residential streets, sidewalks, and driveways. From the established neighborhoods near downtown to the newer homes in The Glen, concrete settling is a common problem. The soil conditions here make it happen faster than many homeowners expect.
The Glen development was built on the site of the former Glenview Naval Air Station. The land was graded and filled with soil before construction began. Fill soil compacts and settles over time. Homes in The Glen often see their driveways, walkways, and patios start to sink within the first 10 to 15 years. The concrete is fine. The ground underneath it is not.
Older neighborhoods in Glenview deal with a different version of the same problem. Decades of freeze-thaw cycles, rain, and natural soil compaction have created voids under concrete slabs. Driveways dip near the garage. Sidewalks develop trip hazards. Patios slope the wrong way and hold water after storms.
A-Proseal has been lifting sunken concrete across the Chicagoland area for more than 25 years. We use polyurethane foam injection to fill voids under slabs and raise them back to level. The foam is lightweight, waterproof, and sets in about 15 minutes. You can walk or drive on the surface the same day.

How We Level Glenview Concrete
We Inspect Every Slab
Our crew walks your entire Glenview property. We check every concrete surface for settling, measure the drop, and find where the soil has compacted or washed out underneath. You get a clear picture of the problem before any work begins.
We Drill Small Holes
We drill penny-sized holes through the concrete surface. These small openings are just big enough for our injection ports. They are placed in the right spots to reach the voids below the slab.
We Inject Expanding Foam
We pump polyurethane foam through the holes. The foam expands to fill every void under the slab. As it expands, it lifts the concrete back to its proper level. The foam is waterproof and lightweight, so it will not add heavy weight to the fill soil underneath.
We Seal and Clean Up
We patch the drill holes with concrete filler and clean the work area. The foam sets in about 15 minutes. You can walk on the surface right away and drive on it within a few hours. Your landscaping stays safe throughout the process.
Benefits of Concrete Leveling in Glenview
Done in Hours
Most Glenview leveling jobs take two to four hours. You can use your driveway or walkway the same day. No waiting days for new concrete to cure.
Saves You Money
Foam injection costs much less than tearing out and pouring new concrete. You keep your existing slabs and avoid the expense of full replacement.
Lightweight Foam
Polyurethane foam weighs much less than traditional mudjacking material. This is important in The Glen where fill soil already struggles with heavy loads. Lighter foam means less stress on the ground.
No Yard Damage
We do not need heavy trucks or equipment on your lawn. The injection process is clean and compact. Your landscaping stays safe and undamaged.
Waterproof Material
The foam we use does not wash away, shrink, or break down. It stays in place even when water flows through the soil around it. This is especially important for fill soil areas.
Removes Trip Hazards
Uneven sidewalks and walkways are safety risks. Leveling removes the lips and dips that cause people to trip. This also reduces your liability as a Glenview homeowner.
Fill Soil and Settling in The Glen and Greater Glenview
Glenview has two distinct soil situations that cause concrete settling. The newer developments in The Glen sit on fill soil. The older neighborhoods throughout the village deal with natural soil compaction from decades of use. Both lead to the same result. Voids form under concrete slabs, and the slabs sink.
The Glen was developed on the site of the former Glenview Naval Air Station. Before homes were built, the land was graded and filled with soil to create level building lots. Fill soil is not as stable as the natural ground around it. Over the years, it compresses under the weight of driveways, patios, and walkways. As it compresses, it drops. The concrete above it drops too.
We see this pattern all across The Glen. Driveways that were level when the homes were new now have dips near the garage. Walkways between the front door and the sidewalk have settled half an inch or more. Patios behind newer homes slope toward the yard instead of draining away from the house. The concrete did not fail. The ground under it shifted.
In the established neighborhoods near downtown Glenview, along Waukegan Road, and near Glenview Road, the problems come from age. Fifty or sixty years of freeze-thaw cycles push soil around. Rain washes small particles out from under slabs. Natural compaction creates voids over time. The result looks the same as what happens in The Glen, but the cause is different.
Polyurethane foam injection works well in both situations. The foam fills voids, lifts slabs, and stays in place. It is lightweight, which matters on fill soil because heavy repair materials can cause more compaction. It is waterproof, which matters everywhere because water is what moves soil and creates voids in the first place.
We also serve homeowners in Northbrook, Wilmette, Des Plaines, and Morton Grove. Each town has its own soil conditions, but foam injection works on all of them.

Customer Testimonial
"We live in The Glen and our driveway had sunk about two inches near the garage. We thought we would have to tear the whole thing out. A-Proseal came out and lifted it back to level with foam in about three hours. The drill holes are barely visible. We should have called them sooner."

Concrete Leveling FAQ for Glenview Homeowners
Why does concrete settle so much in The Glen?
The Glen was built on the site of the former Glenview Naval Air Station. The land was graded with fill soil before construction. Fill soil compresses and settles over time, especially under the weight of concrete driveways and patios. This creates voids underneath that cause the slabs to sink.
How long does concrete leveling take in Glenview?
Most concrete leveling jobs in Glenview take two to four hours. You can walk on the surface right away. Driveways can handle vehicle traffic within a few hours after we finish. There is very little disruption to your day.
Is foam injection safe for fill soil in The Glen?
Yes. Polyurethane foam is actually the best option for fill soil. It is much lighter than mudjacking material, so it puts less stress on the ground. It is also waterproof and will not wash away. The foam fills the voids and supports the slab without adding heavy weight that could cause more settling.
Will the concrete in The Glen keep sinking after leveling?
Polyurethane foam does not compress or break down. Once it fills the voids, it stays in place and keeps supporting the slab. While fill soil can continue to compact very slowly over many years, the foam provides stable support that lasts a long time.
Can you level a driveway without tearing it out?
In most cases, yes. If the concrete is still in good shape but has just sunk, we can lift it back to level with foam injection. You do not need to tear it out and pour new concrete. This saves time, money, and avoids heavy equipment on your property.
