Stress-Free Concrete Repair in St. John
Sunken driveways, settled sidewalks, and tripping hazards from uneven slabs are common throughout residential neighborhoods here. Lake County's clay soil shifts seasonally and creates voids beneath concrete slabs, causing them to drop and crack. Road salt and freeze-thaw cycling accelerate surface deterioration on top of the settlement damage.
Van Drunen Outdoor Living provides concrete leveling and repair across the town using HMI polyurethane foam injection and Elephant Armor fiber-reinforced mortar. HMI polyjacking lifts settled slabs in hours without any excavation. Elephant Armor seals surface damage and sets to 4,000 psi within 4 hours, stopping the cracking cycle at the surface.
Zachary Van Drunen, Antonio Baez, and Erik Weathersby handle every local concrete repair project. Polyjacking is typically done in a few hours and the surface is walkable in 15-30 minutes. We back every repair with a 5-Year Product warranty and 1-Year Craftsmanship warranty. Browse our gallery, visit the concrete repair page, or contact us for a free estimate.

Frequently Asked Questions By St. John Customers
Yes. St. John is one of our core service areas in Lake County, and we provide polyurethane concrete leveling and surface repair throughout the community.
Lake County's clay soil absorbs water and expands, then contracts as it dries. Over time, that movement creates voids beneath concrete slabs. When the soil below a slab shifts away or settles, the concrete drops to fill the gap. HMI polyurethane foam injection fills those voids and lifts the slab back to level.
Most polyjacking jobs in the area are completed in a few hours. The surface is walkable in 15-30 minutes after injection, and vehicle traffic is typically safe within a few hours as well.
Elephant Armor is a fiber-reinforced cementitious mortar used to repair surface damage on driveways, sidewalks, pool decks, and patios. It goes as thin as one-quarter inch, sets to 4,000 psi within 4 hours, and includes PVA fibers that resist re-cracking. It is the right product when the concrete slab is structurally sound but the surface is damaged.
Yes. HMI polyurethane leveling typically costs 50-70 percent less than full concrete removal and replacement. If the slab is structurally sound but has settled, leveling is almost always the better financial decision.
