Get Your Sunken Slab Back to Level — Fast
Slabs that are poured directly on the ground (on grade) can shift, sink, or crack over time. Whether it’s under a shed, sunroom, breezeway, or backyard feature — if it’s sinking, Raise-Rite can lift it. We use clean, efficient polyurethane foam to raise on-grade slabs with minimal disruption. Most projects are done in hours, not days.
Why Do On-Grade Slabs Sink?
These slabs are built directly on soil — and that soil can move. Over time, things like erosion, poor backfill, or freeze-thaw cycles cause the ground underneath to settle or wash out. Once the slab loses support, it begins to crack or sink, often unevenly. If ignored, it can lead to drainage problems, structural gaps, or even interior damage in attached spaces.
We also lift driveways, garage floors, walkways, steps, patios, porches, interior floors, and pool decks. Explore all our residential concrete leveling services to see how we can help.

What Are the Signs You Need Slab Leveling?
On-grade slabs don’t always sink overnight. Here are signs to watch for:
Cracks forming in the middle or edges of the slab
Slab pulling away from adjoining structures or walls
Dips that collect water or feel soft underfoot
Unlevel surfaces in sheds, breezeways, or sunrooms
Doors or windows sticking in nearby structures
Our Fix: Quick, Clean Concrete Leveling with Foam
Step 1) Injection holes are strategically drilled around the areas where the concrete is sunken and requires lifting.
Step 2) Once everything is prepped, and the hose and material are in place, the polyurethane foam is injected through the holes. It expands to fill the space underneath the concrete slab, using the slab itself to drive the foam into the crevices, thereby lifting the concrete back to its original position.
Step 3) Once the concrete is stabilized and lifted to the proper position, the injection holes are filled with new cement, allowing you to use your surface immediately.
Polyurethane concrete raising uses a foam material that is injected under the slab. When the components of the material are mixed, a reaction causes the material to expand. This expanded foam fill any voids beneath the slab and raises the concrete. This material will never lose density, is permanent and weighs only about 2 pounds per cubic foot.
