Sinking or cracked concrete around your Iowa City home is more than a surface issue. It is a sign that the ground beneath your property is shifting and that the problem will only worsen over time. Whether you are dealing with a sloping patio, an uneven driveway, or a cracked sidewalk, these conditions create safety hazards and reduce your home’s value and curb appeal.
Since 1987, our family-owned team has been helping Iowa City homeowners restore their concrete quickly and affordably using advanced polyurethane foam technology. We lift, level, and stabilize concrete without the mess and cost of full replacement, and in most cases, you can use the surface again the same day. With Helitech, you get lasting results backed by the Helitech Promise.

Iowa City’s climate and soil conditions put constant stress on concrete surfaces. Freeze and thaw cycles, heavy rainfall, and clay-rich soil cause the ground to expand and contract throughout the year. Over time, these changes create voids beneath driveways, sidewalks, patios, and porches, leaving slabs without adequate support.
When you notice uneven slabs or widening cracks, the cause is often a combination of the following:
Once this process begins, it rarely improves on its own. Helitech uses polyurethane foam technology to lift and stabilize concrete slabs, address the voids causing settlement, and protect your home against ongoing soil movement.
Our Iowa City concrete repair services are designed to stand up to local weather and soil conditions and deliver results that last for decades.
Concrete repair is about more than filling cracks or lifting slabs. It is about protecting your entire home from further damage. Helitech takes a full-service approach that restores your concrete and addresses the underlying soil and water conditions that caused the problem in the first place.
By combining expert concrete repair with smart water control, Helitech gives Iowa City homeowners lasting peace of mind. Your home will not only look better but remain safer and more structurally sound year-round.
Most concrete leveling projects in Iowa City take only a few hours from start to finish. Our technicians use efficient, minimally invasive equipment to lift and stabilize your concrete with precision. Once the polyurethane foam is injected and cured, which typically takes less than 30 minutes, you can walk, drive, or park on the surface the same day. This makes Helitech’s process ideal for busy homeowners who want results without long downtime or disruption to their routine.
Yes, absolutely. Our polyurethane foam is non-toxic, inert once cured, and completely safe for your property and the surrounding environment. It will not leach chemicals, absorb water, or contribute to soil contamination. Unlike traditional mudjacking materials, the foam stays lightweight and stable over time, ensuring your concrete remains level through Iowa’s heavy rains and seasonal freeze and thaw cycles.
We repair nearly every type of concrete surface around your home or business. From driveways and sidewalks to patios, porches, pool decks, garage floors, and basement floors, if it is concrete, we can level it. Our Iowa City crews handle both residential and commercial projects with care and precision.
Polyurethane foam leveling is faster, less expensive, and far less disruptive than tearing out and replacing concrete. The foam fills the voids beneath your slab, lifts it back into position, and cures quickly, in most cases allowing same-day use. It also addresses the underlying void that caused the problem rather than simply covering it up with a new surface.
Polyurethane foam leveling is designed to be a long-lasting solution. The most important factor in preventing recurrence is addressing the underlying drainage and soil conditions that caused the settlement. Helitech evaluates both the slab and the surrounding conditions during every inspection to ensure a complete and lasting repair.
Uneven or cracked concrete does not improve on its own. Over time it creates safety risks, allows water to work toward your foundation, and increases the cost of repair. If you have noticed your driveway, patio, or sidewalk starting to settle, now is the time to act.
