Stop the Cracks. Remove the Hazards. Save the Pavement.
Sunken or uneven concrete in a parking lot isn’t just an eyesore — it’s a safety risk and a liability. Trip hazards, standing water, and cracked slabs can lead to injuries, insurance claims, and unhappy tenants or customers.
Raise-Rite Concrete Lifting helps commercial property owners, facility managers, and municipalities restore parking lots without the cost and downtime of replacement. We use polyurethane foam injection to lift and level concrete fast — with results that last.
Why Parking Lot Concrete Fails
Concrete slabs in parking lots often settle or sink due to:
Heavy traffic from cars, trucks, or delivery vehicles
Water infiltration or poor drainage
Freeze-thaw cycles common in the Midwest
Weak or poorly compacted subgrade
Voids from erosion or underground utilities
Once the soil shifts, the slabs lose support — leading to visible cracks, dips, and dangerous surface changes.

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.
