Concrete contractor in Carol Stream, IL
Seventeen minutes south, and the town where clay soil dictates the work. Built out between 1960 and 1990 on bases that were never compacted the way we would do it now, which is why heaved and settled driveway sections are the most common call we get here. Klein Creek and the west side lean toward patios and garage coatings.

Permits and site notes
Carol Stream permits driveway replacement, patios and slabs, and reviews new impervious surface against the lot coverage limit. The village sits on flat, poorly draining DuPage clay with several drainage ways through it and a high spring water table. That is what heaves driveways, so every replacement gets the base re-excavated and compacted.
Carol Stream building departmentCarol Stream questions
Why do driveways heave in Carol Stream?
Flat, poorly draining clay holds water under the slab through winter. It freezes, expands and lifts the concrete, and the slab does not settle back evenly in spring.
Can a heaved driveway section be lifted instead of replaced?
Sometimes. If the slab is sound and only a panel or two moved, mudjacking or foam lifting costs a fraction of replacement and is priced per section. Broken concrete needs replacing.
Does Carol Stream limit how much of my lot can be concrete?
Yes, the village reviews driveways and patios against a lot coverage limit. We measure existing hard surfaces at the estimate so the plan clears review.
