A sunken driveway, patio, or sidewalk slab is a soil problem, not a structural foundation problem, and it's fixable without tearing out concrete. Pleasant Grove Foundation Pros uses polyjacking, injecting hydrophobic polyurethane foam beneath the slab, to lift it back to grade through dime-sized drill holes.

Bench-lot soil around Pleasant Grove settles slabs the same way it shifts foundations, just closer to the surface where backfill compaction wasn't done right the first time. Polyjacking is lighter and faster-curing than older mudjacking slurry methods, and the foam doesn't absorb water the way mudjacking slurry can, which matters through Utah County's freeze-thaw cycle.

What's included

What's Included With Concrete Lifting

Typically included: slab assessment, drilling access holes, foam injection to lift, elevation monitoring, hole patching. Optional: joint resealing, surface sealant application after lift. Customer prep: clear the slab area of furniture, vehicles, or planters before the crew arrives.

How it works

How Our Concrete Lifting Process Works

  1. Surface Assessment photo
    Step 1

    Surface Assessment

    Uneven or sunken concrete areas are identified and measured.

  2. Drilling Access Holes photo
    Step 2

    Drilling Access Holes

    Small holes are drilled into the concrete to allow material injection.

  3. Material Injection photo
    Step 3

    Material Injection

    Expanding foam is injected beneath the slab to raise it evenly.

  4. Elevation Monitoring photo
    Step 4

    Elevation Monitoring

    Lift progress is measured to achieve the desired level.

  5. Hole Patching photo
    Step 5

    Hole Patching

    Access holes are filled and finished to match the surrounding surface.

  6. Final Inspection photo
    Step 6

    Final Inspection

    The lifted area is reviewed for levelness and stability.

Materials

Materials and Methods for Concrete Lifting

  • Polyurethane Foam photo

    Polyurethane Foam

    Expands beneath the slab to lift it evenly, curing fast enough that the surface is usable the same day.

  • Injection Ports photo

    Injection Ports

    Allow controlled foam placement so the lift happens gradually and evenly across the slab.

  • Patch Compound photo

    Patch Compound

    Fills the dime-sized access holes for a finish that blends with the original concrete.

  • Surface Sealant photo

    Surface Sealant

    Protects the patched area from moisture intrusion and staining through winter.

  • Leveling Gauge photo

    Leveling Gauge

    Measures slab elevation in real time during the lift to confirm the target height.

  • Bonding Agent photo

    Bonding Agent

    Improves adhesion between the patch material and the existing slab edge.

Cost

What does a Concrete Lifting cost in Pleasant Grove?

Cost comes down to slab size and how much it's settled, not a flat per-job price. A free estimate after we measure the slab gets you a firm number.

Project typeTypical rangeWhat’s included
Single small slab (patio section, walkway panel)$400–$900,one or two access points.
Standard driveway or patio slab$800–$2,500,multi-point injection across the panel.
Multi-panel driveway realignment$2,500–$6,000,several connected panels lifted together.

These are typical local ballparks — final cost depends on scope, materials, and site conditions. A free estimate gives you an accurate, itemized number for your home.

FAQs

Concrete Lifting FAQs

What's the difference between mudjacking and polyjacking?

Mudjacking pumps a heavy cement slurry under the slab, which adds weight back onto the same soil that settled in the first place. Polyjacking uses lightweight polyurethane foam that cures fast and doesn't add that extra load.

How much does it cost to lift a sunken sidewalk or patio slab?

Small sections run a few hundred dollars; larger multi-panel jobs cost more depending on access points needed. It's priced by scope, not a flat rate.

How long does concrete lifting take?

Most jobs complete the same day, with the slab usable again within a few hours of injection.

Will the lift last, or will it sink again?

When the foam fills the void completely and underlying soil erosion has stopped, the lift holds. We check for ongoing water intrusion before quoting to avoid a repeat job.

Is polyjacking better than full slab replacement?

For settlement without major structural cracking, yes, it costs significantly less and takes a fraction of the time. Replacement makes sense when the slab itself is badly deteriorated, not just sunken.

Can concrete lifting fix a slab that's cracked badly?

Lifting corrects elevation, not crack damage. Badly cracked slabs sometimes need both lifting and crack repair, or replacement if the damage is extensive.
