Fix Concrete Problems Without Complaints, Delays, or Overspending
Trip hazards and sunken concrete in shared spaces are a major liability for homeowners associations. Uneven sidewalks, patios, driveways, and walkways don’t just look bad — they create safety risks, increase insurance exposure, and lead to complaints from residents.
Raise-Rite Concrete Lifting helps HOAs across Illinois fix concrete problems fast. We use high-strength polyurethane foam to lift sunken slabs in hours — no tear-out, no downtime, no disruption to your community.
We Help HOAs With Concrete Repairs Like:
- Sunken sidewalks and walking paths
- Settled concrete at common areas or entrances
- Driveways or aprons shifting near garages or townhomes
- Uneven patio slabs in shared courtyards
- Pool deck repairs at community pools
- Concrete steps pulling away from stoops
- Void filling under slabs, curbs, or retaining walls
Why Concrete Sinks in HOA Communities
Concrete in multi-family communities and neighborhoods sinks over time due to:
- Water drainage issues
- Poor soil compaction from original construction
- Freeze-thaw cycles
- High foot traffic or heavy vehicles
- Rodents or erosion creating voids under slabs
These problems are common, but they don’t fix themselves. If ignored, they get worse — and cost more.

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.

Excellent Service and job well done...repeat customer tooPosted on Tom TobinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. this company is the BEST for concrete raising. My experience with them started in June 2024. they came out, did an estimate, scheduled the repair. Repair was done approximately June20 and it looked great. Unfortunately, the patio started to sink again 2 days later, probably due to chipmunk tunnels underneath. ( how could they know how much product would be needed due to this?) I contacted Raise-Rite and the came out approximately July 18th and corrected the problem. Their customer service was outstanding. I understood they could not come out earlier due to scheduling conflicts, which they explained to me. There was no additional charge for this. My patio has been even and stable the remainder of the summer and should stay that was for many years. If you need affordable concrete raising with great customer service, don't hesitate to call Raise-Rite Concrete Lifting.

They were very helpful and communicative during the whole process. From the initial quote to completion of the project, I was treated very well and the crew did an awesome job. Great group of people to work with all-around!Posted on JellyrollTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Raise Rite treated us right, were well priced, came out quickly, to fix our SERIOUSLY sinking & practically LOPSIDED cement one-car garage slab. It’s amazing what they can do nowdays with the foam jacking and I’m so happy with the result. Raise Rite didn’t have issue with our relatively small job, or that I’m located on the Northshore, which is some distance from their office operations. They came out on a drizzly day without complaint. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again.
