Concrete Leveling Quad Cities: Lift Sunken Concrete Without the Mess

Why Polyfoam Beats Mudjacking–Especially in the Quad Cities

If your sidewalk is sloping toward your house… your driveway is uneven at the joints… or your back patio feels more like a trip hazard than a relaxation space–you’re not alone. Settled concrete is a common issue across the Quad Cities, thanks to shifting soil, freeze-thaw cycles, and poor drainage.

But here’s the good news: You don’t need to tear everything out and start over. With modern polyurethane foam injection, also known as polyjacking, you can lift and level your concrete without the mess or downtime of traditional methods like mudjacking.

At Tomlinson Cannon, we specialize in concrete leveling in the Quad Cities that’s clean, fast, long-lasting–and far more precise than the “drill and pump” method you might be used to.

Concrete Leveling Quad Cities: What Is Polyfoam Injection?

A Better Solution for Uneven Concrete

Traditional mudjacking uses a heavy slurry of soil and cement to raise slabs, but it has limitations. The mixture can wash out over time, adds weight to already unstable soil, and requires larger drill holes. That’s why polyurethane injection has become the preferred method for today’s homeowners.

Here’s how it works:

  1. We drill small, clean holes (about the size of a dime) in your sunken slab.
  2. We inject expanding polyurethane foam under the slab, which fills voids and lifts the concrete.
  3. The foam cures in minutes, not days.
  4. We patch the holes and you’re good to go. No waiting.

This process works great for:

  • Sidewalks
  • Driveways
  • Garage floors
  • Porches and patios
  • Pool decks
  • Basement floor slabs

Why Concrete Settlement Is a Bigger Problem Than It Looks

A few inches of slab movement might not seem like a big deal, but it often points to deeper issues. Here in the Quad Cities, we see a lot of:

  • Water drainage issues due to poor grading
  • Soil washout under walkways and driveways
  • Improper slope sending runoff toward your foundation
  • Trip hazards that put your family (and visitors) at risk

Leaving it “for later” can result in water infiltration into your basement or crawlspace–and that’s when the real damage (and cost) begins.
