FIX SUNKEN CONCRETE BEFORE IT BECOMES A PROBLEM FOR RESIDENTS
Uneven concrete around an apartment complex, condo association, or HOA can quickly become more than an appearance issue. Sunken sidewalks, uneven entryways, settled pool decks, and raised edges between slabs can create trip hazards for residents, guests, maintenance crews, and delivery drivers.
RaiseRite helps property managers, apartment owners, HOAs, and multi-family communities across Wisconsin lift and level existing concrete without the cost and disruption of tearing it out and replacing it.
When the concrete itself is still in good condition, polyurethane concrete raising can restore the slab to a safer, more usable position while keeping disruption around the property to a minimum.
Why Does Concrete Sink Around Apartments & HOA Properties?
Concrete settlement usually starts below the slab. Poor soil compaction, erosion, changing moisture levels, water runoff, and Wisconsin freeze-thaw cycles can cause the soil supporting concrete to weaken or wash away.
As that support disappears, concrete begins to settle.
Common problem areas include:
- Community sidewalks and walkways
- Building entrances
- Apartment and condo entryways
- Pool decks
- Patios and common areas
- Parking lot walkways
- Dumpster and service areas
- Concrete steps and approaches
- Mailbox and clubhouse areas
- Walkways between buildings
Large residential properties may also experience settlement in several areas at the same time. Addressing those problems before they become severe can help property managers stay ahead of recurring maintenance and safety concerns.
In addition to apartments and HOA properties, we also repair factory floors, loading docks and ramps, interior floor slabs, strip malls, and municipal concrete structures. See our full list of commercial concrete leveling services for more.

WHAT ARE THE SIGNS YOUR APARTMENT OR HOA NEEDS CONCRETE LEVELING?
With residents and visitors using common areas every day, even small elevation changes can become noticeable quickly.
Watch for:
- Uneven sidewalk sections
- Raised edges between adjoining slabs
- Trip hazards along common walkways
- Concrete sinking near building entrances
- Uneven transitions from parking areas to sidewalks
- Pool deck slabs that have settled
- Water collecting on low concrete
- Walkways sloping toward buildings
- Settled slabs near stairs or ramps
- Concrete rocking or moving under foot traffic
If the slabs are still structurally sound, lifting and leveling may allow you to correct the problem without replacing otherwise usable concrete.
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.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. We regularly work on occupied properties and plan repairs to minimize disruption for residents, visitors, maintenance teams, and property staff. Many concrete lifting projects can be completed in targeted areas while the rest of the property remains accessible.
Yes. Apartment complexes, condo communities, and HOAs often have several settled slabs throughout the property. We can evaluate multiple areas and develop a repair plan based on the property’s priorities.
In many cases, yes. When one slab has settled lower than the adjoining concrete, lifting it can improve the transition and reduce the height difference that creates a trip hazard. Every situation is evaluated individually.
Yes. We can lift settled sidewalks, entry slabs, stoops, and approaches around apartment and multi-family buildings when the existing concrete is suitable for lifting.
Yes. Settled pool deck slabs can often be lifted to improve uneven areas and drainage. Our technicians will evaluate the concrete first to determine whether raising is appropriate.
Usually, yes. Concrete replacement requires demolition, removal of the old slab, forming, pouring, and curing. Concrete lifting keeps the existing slab in place and typically requires much less equipment, mess, and downtime.
Polyurethane concrete lifting cures quickly, and many repaired areas can return to normal use shortly after the work is completed. Our team will explain any specific restrictions before leaving the property.
Yes. RaiseRite works with property managers, HOAs, apartment owners, and other organizations that manage multiple locations or have recurring concrete maintenance needs. We can help evaluate problem areas and prioritize repairs across a property or portfolio.
Yes. RaiseRite backs qualifying concrete raising work with warranty protection. We’ll explain the warranty that applies to your project during the estimate process.
Yes. Our virtual estimate process makes it easy for property managers to send photos and information about problem areas without having to coordinate an initial on-site meeting.

PROPERTY MAINTENANCE DOESN'T STOP — WE UNDERSTAND
Apartment and HOA properties have residents coming and going every day. Sidewalks need to remain accessible, entrances need to stay usable, and maintenance projects need to be completed without creating unnecessary disruption.
RaiseRite works with property managers and association boards to make concrete repair straightforward. Whether you have one sunken sidewalk or recurring settlement throughout a large community, we can help identify which slabs may be lifted and develop a practical repair plan.
Because polyurethane concrete raising requires less demolition and downtime than replacement, many projects can be completed quickly while normal property activity continues.
