Keep Your Pumps Open. Keep Your Customers Safe.
Uneven concrete at a gas station is more than just a bad look — it’s a safety risk and a liability. Trip hazards, standing water, and cracked slabs can drive away business or even result in expensive claims. That’s why gas station owners across the Midwest trust Raise-Rite Concrete Lifting to fix sinking concrete — fast, clean, and without shutting down the pumps.
We lift and level your concrete using polyurethane foam injection. It’s fast-curing, long-lasting, and strong enough to handle constant traffic from cars, trucks, and delivery vehicles.
Why Does Gas Station Concrete Sink?
Concrete around gas pumps, air machines, and walkways sinks over time because of:
Soil erosion from heavy rain or snow
Freeze-thaw cycles common in the Midwest
Poor soil compaction during construction
Constant vehicle traffic
Leaking fuel or water lines beneath the slab
Once the soil shifts or washes out, slabs settle unevenly and create serious safety concerns — especially where people walk, roll carts, or refuel.
We also level factory and warehouse floors, loading docks, municipal slabs, and bridge approaches. View our full list of commercial services to learn more.

What Are the Signs You Need Concrete Leveling at Your Gas Station?
Concrete problems don’t always start big — they build up over time. Here are the most common signs your gas station concrete needs to be lifted:
Trip hazards near fuel pumps or walkways
Cracks forming near pump islands or curbs
Slabs shifting or rocking under foot or vehicle traffic
Water pooling around fueling areas or air machines
Drainage issues or standing water that won’t run off
Sunken pavement near service bays or car wash entrances
Concrete pushing up against pump bases or bollards
If you notice any of these issues, don’t wait. Sinking concrete only gets worse — and more expensive — over time. Fixing it early helps protect your customers, your business, and your bottom line.
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.
