Serving Springville and nearby communities.

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.

What's included

What's included

Typically included Optional Customer prep

  • Slab assessment and elevation measurement across the affected area
  • Dime-sized access hole drilling at calculated points
  • Polyurethane foam injection to raise the slab
  • Hole patching and surface finish to match surrounding concrete
  • Joint resealing on adjacent slab sections
  • Surface sealant application after lifting
  • Clear vehicles, planters, or furniture off the slab area
  • Note which sections have sunk and any trip hazards

How it works

How our Concrete Lifting process works

  1. Surface Assessment photo
    Step 1

    Surface Assessment

    Sunken or sloped sections get identified and measured for elevation difference.

  2. Drilling Access Holes photo
    Step 2

    Drilling Access Holes

    Small holes go in at calculated points to reach the void beneath the slab.

  3. Material Injection photo
    Step 3

    Material Injection

    Expanding foam is pumped under the slab to lift it back toward level.

  4. Elevation Monitoring photo
    Step 4

    Elevation Monitoring

    Lift height is tracked carefully so the slab stops at the right point.

  5. Hole Patching photo
    Step 5

    Hole Patching

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

  6. Final Inspection photo
    Step 6

    Final Inspection

    The lifted section is reviewed for levelness and stability underfoot.

Materials

Materials and methods for Concrete Lifting

  • Polyurethane Foam photo

    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 photo

    Injection Ports

    Placed at calculated points to control exactly where foam goes under the slab.

  • Patch Compound photo

    Patch Compound

    Fills drilled access holes for a finish that blends with the surrounding concrete.

  • Surface Sealant photo

    Surface Sealant

    Protects the patched area from staining and moisture after the lift.

  • Leveling Gauge photo

    Leveling Gauge

    Measures slab elevation in real time so the lift stops at the correct height.

  • Bonding Agent photo

    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.
