Concrete lifting, also called polyjacking, raises a sunken slab by injecting hydrophobic polyurethane foam underneath it through small drilled holes. It's the general method behind leveling driveways, patios, and sidewalks without tearing out and repouring concrete.
Seasonal soil shifting from freeze-thaw cycling along the Wasatch Front is a common reason slabs settle unevenly over a few years, even on properties with otherwise solid foundations. Springville Foundation Pros inspects which sections have actually sunk, and by how much, before drilling. Not every uneven slab needs the same lift pattern.

How our Concrete Lifting process works
Step 1Surface Assessment
Sunken or sloped sections get identified and measured for elevation difference.
Step 2Drilling Access Holes
Small holes go in at calculated points to reach the void beneath the slab.
Step 3Material Injection
Expanding foam is pumped under the slab to lift it back toward level.
Step 4Elevation Monitoring
Lift height is tracked carefully so the slab stops at the right point.
Step 5Hole Patching
Drilled holes are filled and finished to match the surrounding surface.
Step 6Final Inspection
The lifted section is reviewed for levelness and stability underfoot.
Materials
Materials and methods for Concrete Lifting
Polyurethane Foam
Expands beneath the slab to lift it, and resists moisture re-absorption through Utah's freeze-thaw cycles better than older fill methods.
Injection Ports
Placed at calculated points to control exactly where foam goes under the slab.
Patch Compound
Fills drilled access holes for a finish that blends with the surrounding concrete.
Surface Sealant
Protects the patched area from staining and moisture after the lift.
Leveling Gauge
Measures slab elevation in real time so the lift stops at the correct height.
Bonding Agent
Improves patch adhesion so repaired holes hold up over seasonal temperature swings.

FAQs
Concrete Lifting FAQs
Is polyurethane foam lifting actually permanent or does it need to be redone?
Hydrophobic polyurethane foam doesn't break down or compress like loose fill soil does. A properly lifted slab generally stays level unless the underlying soil condition that caused the original settlement continues untreated.
How much does concrete lifting cost compared to slab replacement?
Polyjacking typically costs a fraction of full slab replacement since it avoids demolition and repouring. Exact pricing depends on slab size and how much lift is needed, confirmed with an on-site estimate.
How long does it take for a sinking driveway slab to get fixed?
Most driveway sections lift and cure enough for vehicle use the same day the work is done.
Do I need a permit to lift a sidewalk, driveway, or patio?
Lifting an existing slab in place usually doesn't require a permit since no new structure or grading change is involved. Full slab replacement tied to grading changes may need one.
Can I use a DIY foam kit to lift a slab myself?
Homeowner kits lack the pressure control to lift a slab evenly, and uneven injection pressure can crack the slab further. Professional equipment distributes foam under controlled pressure to avoid that.
What's the difference between polyjacking and mudjacking?
Mudjacking uses a heavier cement-based slurry that adds significant weight back onto the same soil that caused the settlement. Polyurethane foam is lightweight and expands to fill voids without adding that extra load.
