Trusted Concrete Leveling in Deerfield, IL
Deerfield's mature neighborhoods have concrete that has settled over decades. Many homeowners think replacement is their only option. Foam injection saves the original concrete and lifts it back to level at a fraction of the cost. A-Proseal has been doing this for more than 25 years.
Lifting Settled Concrete Across Deerfield's Neighborhoods
Deerfield is full of well-kept homes on tree-lined streets. Many of these homes were built in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. The concrete driveways, sidewalks, and patios that came with those homes have been in the ground for decades. Over that time, the soil underneath has slowly settled, shifted, and compacted. The result is sunken, uneven concrete that looks bad and creates trip hazards.
We hear the same thing from Deerfield homeowners all the time. They think their only option is to tear out the old concrete and pour brand new slabs. That means jackhammers, dump trucks, and days of work on their property. It is messy, loud, and expensive. But there is a better way.
Polyurethane foam injection lifts your existing concrete back to level without replacing it. We drill small penny-sized holes in the surface, pump expanding foam underneath, and the slab rises back into place. The foam fills every void and gap, gives the concrete solid support, and hardens in about 15 minutes. You can walk on it the same day.

We have worked on hundreds of Deerfield properties, from driveways along Deerfield Road to patios in neighborhoods near Briarwood Country Club. We know the soil here and we know how to fix what it does to your concrete.

Concrete Replacement vs. Foam Injection in Deerfield
Many Deerfield homeowners face a choice. They can tear out old concrete and pour new, or they can lift what they have with foam injection. Here is how the two options compare.
Foam injection saves your original concrete and gets the job done faster. Most Deerfield homeowners choose lifting over replacement once they see the difference.

How We Level Deerfield Concrete
We Inspect Every Slab
Our crew walks your entire Deerfield property. We check every driveway panel, sidewalk section, patio slab, and stoop. We measure how far each one has settled and find where the voids are underneath.
We Drill Small Holes
We drill penny-sized holes through the sunken concrete. These tiny openings let us reach the voids underneath. We place them carefully based on where the settling is worst.
We Inject Expanding Foam
We pump polyurethane foam through the holes. The foam expands, fills every void, and lifts the slab back to its proper level. The foam is waterproof and will not wash away or break down over time.
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 property looks clean when we leave.
Benefits of Concrete Leveling for Deerfield Homes
Saves Your Concrete
Your Deerfield concrete is still good. It just sank. Foam injection lifts it back to level so you do not have to tear it out and start over.
Done in Hours
Most leveling jobs take two to four hours. No waiting days for new concrete to cure. You get your driveway, walkway, or patio back the same day.
Long-Lasting Results
Polyurethane foam is waterproof and does not break down over time. It fills the voids completely so the slab has solid, permanent support underneath.
Almost Invisible
We drill penny-sized holes that are patched when we finish. You can barely see where we worked. Your concrete looks clean and even again.
Fraction of the Cost
Foam injection costs much less than tearing out old concrete and pouring new. You get level concrete without the big bill.
Safe and Even Surfaces
Level concrete removes trip hazards and makes your property safer for your family and guests. It also looks much better from the street.
Decades of Settling in Deerfield's Mature Neighborhoods
Deerfield's neighborhoods are some of the most established on the North Shore. Areas near Deerfield Road, Waukegan Road, and along Wilmot Road have homes that are 40, 50, and even 60 years old. The concrete on these properties has been in the ground for just as long. Over all those years, the soil underneath has slowly compacted, shifted, and settled.
The result is concrete that no longer sits flat. Driveway panels dip near the edges. Sidewalk sections tilt at different angles. Patios slope away from the house and collect standing water. Stoops pull away from the foundation. It happens gradually, but once you notice it the problem is already well along.
Many Deerfield homeowners call contractors and get quotes for full concrete replacement. The numbers are shocking. Tearing out a full driveway and pouring a new one takes heavy equipment, multiple days, and a crew of workers. It tears up your lawn and landscaping in the process. And here is the thing that most people do not realize. The new concrete sits on the same soil that caused the problem in the first place. Without addressing the voids below, even new concrete can settle.
Foam injection is different. We fill the voids under your existing concrete with polyurethane foam. The foam is strong, waterproof, and lightweight. It gives the slab the support it lost and lifts it back to where it belongs. We do not tear anything out. We do not leave a mess. And the foam will not break down or wash away like soil does.
If you live in Deerfield and your concrete has settled over the years, call A-Proseal today for a free inspection. We will show you exactly what is going on and give you an honest quote. You may be surprised at how simple and affordable the fix really is.

Concrete Leveling FAQ for Deerfield Homeowners
Why has my Deerfield concrete settled so much?
Most Deerfield homes were built decades ago. Over that time, the soil under the concrete has slowly compacted, shifted, and settled. Water flowing under slabs washes away soil particles and creates voids. The concrete loses its support and sinks into those empty spaces.
Do I need to replace my concrete or can it be lifted?
If the concrete is still in good shape and has just sunk, we can lift it with foam injection. You do not need to replace it. Replacement only makes sense if the concrete is badly cracked or broken into pieces. We will give you an honest answer during our free inspection.
How long does concrete leveling take in Deerfield?
Most concrete leveling jobs in Deerfield 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. Compare that to a full replacement, which takes days.
Will foam injection work on old Deerfield concrete?
Yes. Foam injection works on concrete of any age, as long as the slab itself is still intact. We have lifted concrete that is 40 and 50 years old. The foam fills the voids underneath and brings the surface back to level, no matter how long it has been settling.
Will my concrete settle again after foam leveling?
Polyurethane foam does not shrink, wash away, or break down over time. It stays in place and keeps supporting the slab. While no repair lasts forever, foam injection is the most durable option for settled concrete. Proper drainage also helps prevent future problems.
Do you offer free estimates in Deerfield?
Yes. We offer free, same-day estimates for any Deerfield property. Our team will come out, inspect every slab, and give you an honest quote. There is no pressure and no obligation. Call us at (847) 525-7394 or fill out the form on this page to get started.
