Concrete Lifting Waterloo: Fast, Clean Repairs for Settled Slabs in Older Neighborhoods
Safe, Affordable Concrete Repairs. Free Estimate Today!
Waterloo is full of charm, character–and concrete that’s been around for decades. If you live in one of the city’s established neighborhoods, chances are your sidewalks, patios, or driveways have started to settle over time. Cracks, uneven joints, or sinking steps aren’t just eyesores, they’re tripping hazards, drainage problems, and warning signs of deeper issues.
The good news? You don’t have to tear it all out and start fresh. At Tomlinson Cannon, we offer concrete lifting in Waterloo using clean, modern methods that raise your slabs back into place without digging, mess, or disruption.
Concrete Lifting Waterloo: Built for Older Homes
Why Settling Happens (and Why It’s Not Your Fault)
In many Waterloo neighborhoods, aging infrastructure and changing soil conditions are the perfect storm for settled concrete. Over time, the soil beneath your slabs can shift, erode, or compact especially in areas with older drainage systems or no foundation waterproofing. The result? Sinking concrete that leads to:
- Uneven steps and sidewalks
- Cracked garage or basement floors
- Water pooling near your foundation
- Safety issues for kids, guests, and delivery drivers
At Tomlinson Cannon, we specialize in non-invasive concrete lifting that’s ideal for preserving the look and structure of older homes without turning your yard into a construction site.

Our Process: Foam Injection That Lifts and Levels
No Jackhammers. No Concrete Trucks. Just Smart Repair.
Our polyfoam injection system (also called polyjacking) is the modern solution to lifting sunken concrete. Unlike traditional mudjacking, which requires heavy slurry and bigger drill holes, foam injection is quick, precise, and easy on your property.
Here’s what to expect:
- We drill small holes into the affected slab.
- Expanding polyurethane foam is injected underneath, lifting the slab.
- The foam hardens in minutes and seals the voids that caused settling.
- We patch the holes–and your slab is ready the same day.
This method is perfect for Waterloo homeowners who want a fast, clean repair that won’t interfere with their daily routine.
Driveway sunken near the garage?
Patio dropped away from the house?
Uneven front walkway?
We’ve seen it and we’ve fixed it.
Why Homeowners in Waterloo Choose Concrete Lifting
Aside from being cost-effective and fast, foam lifting is:
- Non-disruptive (no big mess or loud machinery)
- Long-lasting, with materials that resist water and weather
- Safe, helping you avoid injuries and insurance claims
- Foundation-friendly, improving drainage slope away from your home
It’s also a smart way to extend the life of your concrete and maintain your property value without major renovations.
