Most Marion projects can be finished the same day they start. Driveways, sidewalks, and patios are often ready to walk or drive on within just a few hours, meaning you don’t have to wait days or weeks to get back to your routine.
In Marion, homeowners know how unpredictable southern Illinois weather can be. Heavy spring rains, summer heat, and winter freezes all work together to weaken the ground beneath your home. Over time, driveways, sidewalks, and patios can start to sink or crack. These uneven surfaces don’t just look bad—they can be unsafe for your family and cause long-term foundation issues if left untreated.
At Helitech, we’ve been helping families across Illinois for nearly four decades. Our concrete leveling solutions in Marion are designed to raise, seal, and protect your concrete so you don’t have to live with sinking slabs or invest in costly replacements.

Southern Illinois weather and soil conditions are tough on concrete. In Marion, the ground often expands when saturated with rain and contracts again during dry spells. Combine that with winter freeze-thaw cycles, and the shifting soil leaves behind air pockets under your slabs. With nothing solid to support them, driveways, sidewalks, and patios eventually sink, tilt, or crack apart.
Here are a few of the most common issues we see around Marion homes:
Catching these problems early is key. Addressing them now helps prevent costly drainage issues, protects your foundation, and keeps your home looking its best.
Choosing a contractor to work on your home is a big decision. Since 1987, Helitech has built a reputation across southern Illinois for doing the job right the first time and treating every property with respect. Families in Marion count on us because:
Every home in Marion has its own story, and every concrete slab faces its own set of challenges. That’s why Helitech doesn’t take a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, we provide a variety of specialized repair options designed to address the unique soil, weather, and structural conditions found throughout southern Illinois:
Our signature service uses state-of-the-art polyurethane foam to lift and stabilize sunken slabs. Small, unobtrusive holes are drilled, and the foam is injected beneath the surface where it expands to fill voids. As the foam hardens, it gently raises the slab back into position. This method is quick, clean, and strong enough to withstand southern Illinois’ wet springs and hot summers. Most driveways, sidewalks, and patios are ready to use the same day.
If your concrete is severely cracked, crumbled, or broken beyond repair, replacement may be the best option. Our experienced crews safely remove the damaged slab and pour a new one with precision, ensuring a smooth finish that blends with the rest of your property. It’s a fresh start for areas too far gone to be lifted.
Even small cracks can invite water under your slabs, which erodes soil and leads to more settling. Our professional-grade caulking seals those problem areas, protecting your investment while also giving your concrete a neat, finished look. It’s a simple step that adds years of life to your surfaces and helps prevent future damage.
Most Marion projects can be finished the same day they start. Driveways, sidewalks, and patios are often ready to walk or drive on within just a few hours, meaning you don’t have to wait days or weeks to get back to your routine.
Absolutely. The foam we use is lightweight, non-toxic, and eco-friendly. It’s built to handle Illinois’ rainy springs, hot summers, and freezing winters without breaking down. Unlike mudjacking materials, it won’t wash out or add extra weight to your soil.
Leveling is the best option for most slabs, but when the concrete is deeply cracked, crumbled, or shattered into multiple pieces, replacement may be the smarter solution. Our technicians perform a thorough inspection and provide an honest recommendation so you know you’re making the right choice.
Don’t let cracked or uneven concrete bring down your home’s value or create safety risks. Helitech makes it easy to restore your slabs with lasting solutions.
