About Scritchlow Concrete Lifting & Slab Jacking
Scritchlow Concrete Lifting and Slab Jacking provides concrete lifting, slab jacking, mud jacking, void filling, concrete repair, drainage solutions, and related site work throughout Central and Northern Illinois.
Our goal is to identify what is causing the concrete problem and recommend the appropriate repair—not simply sell the most expensive option. When an existing slab can be safely lifted and supported, we evaluate that option before recommending complete replacement.
Who We Are
Scritchlow is an Illinois-based concrete and property-services company focused on solving problems involving settled concrete, unstable soil, drainage, and damaged exterior surfaces.
Our work includes residential, commercial, industrial, agricultural, municipal, and other concrete projects. Every property is different, which is why we evaluate the condition of the slab, amount of settlement, underlying soil, drainage, accessibility, and surrounding elevations before recommending a repair.
Depending on the project, the appropriate solution may involve concrete lifting, slab jacking, void filling, drainage correction, joint repair, site preparation, or replacement.
Repair When Possible. Replace When Necessary.
We evaluate the concrete first and recommend the repair approach that fits the condition of the property.

Our Approach to Concrete Repair
Our approach starts with identifying why the concrete moved or deteriorated in the first place.
A sunken slab may be caused by soil settlement, erosion, poor compaction, drainage problems, washout, or voids beneath the concrete. Correctly identifying these conditions helps determine whether the appropriate solution is concrete lifting, slab jacking, void filling, drainage correction, repair, or replacement.
We want customers to understand the condition of their concrete, the available repair options, and why a particular approach is being recommended.
