A patio that's pulled away from the back door or pools water after every storm usually isn't a drainage problem on its own. It's a sign the slab underneath has settled. Pleasant Grove Foundation Pros lifts sunken patio sections with polyurethane foam injection, which works well against the kind of uneven backfill settlement common on Pleasant Grove's bench lots where runoff off the foothills saturates soil unevenly around a patio footprint.
Most patio lifting jobs are isolated to one or two panels, not the whole slab. We drill small access points, inject foam under the low sections, and check elevation as it rises back to grade. The goal is a patio that sheds water the right direction again and sits flush with the house.

Small holes are made at key points across the patio surface.
Step 3Foam Injection
Expanding material is injected to raise the settled sections.
Step 4Level Verification
Elevation is checked throughout the lifting process for accuracy.
Step 5Hole Patching
Access points are filled and smoothed to match the patio surface.
Step 6Final Walkthrough
The patio is inspected to confirm a level, stable finish.
Materials
Materials and Methods for Patio Lifting
Patio slabs sit closer to the surface than a foundation footing, so the material needs to lift fast without adding dead weight that just sinks again next spring.
Polyurethane Foam
Lifts patio slabs with minimal disruption to surrounding landscaping, important on tighter in-town Pleasant Grove lots where planting beds and fences sit close to the patio edge.
Patch Compound
Fills and finishes drilled access holes smoothly so the repair doesn't stand out against the rest of the slab.
Joint Filler
Restores expansion joints after the lifting process, which matters once Utah County's freeze-thaw cycle starts working on an unsealed joint.
Surface Sealant
Guards the patio against moisture and surface wear through repeat snow and spring runoff seasons.
Leveling Tools
Used to verify consistent elevation across the patio so one panel doesn't end up higher than its neighbor.
Bonding Agent
Enhances adhesion between patch material and existing concrete for a repair that holds instead of chipping out later.

FAQs
Patio Lifting FAQs
How much does patio lifting cost in Pleasant Grove?
Most patio lifting jobs run a few hundred to a couple thousand dollars depending on how many panels have settled and how far they need to rise. A free estimate gives you a number specific to your patio.
Is patio lifting cheaper than replacing the slab?
Yes. Foam injection lifts the existing concrete instead of tearing it out and pouring new, which saves on both material and labor cost.
How long before I can use the patio again?
Most patios are walkable within a few hours of the foam injection, with full cure reached within about a day.
Will patio lifting fix standing water problems?
It can, if the pooling is caused by a settled or tilted slab. We check the slope during the lift and correct the grade so water moves away from the house instead of toward it.
Can a sunken patio be lifted if it's attached to the house?
Usually, yes. We assess the connection point and lift the patio section without disturbing the attached structure, though a patio pulling away from the house may need additional evaluation first.
Does patio lifting work in winter?
Foam injection can be done in colder weather, but cure time runs slightly longer. We'll walk you through timing during the estimate.
