A sunken slab next to the garage or along a walkway almost never means the concrete itself is bad, it means the soil underneath settled or washed out. Concrete lifting injects expanding polyurethane foam beneath the slab to raise it back to level, which costs a fraction of tearing out and repouring the concrete.

South Jordan Foundation Pros uses PolyLevel-style polyurethane foam rather than mudjacking, since the lightweight foam sets fast, doesn't add dead weight to already-soft soil, and holds up better through Utah's freeze-thaw cycles.

How it works

How Our Concrete Lifting Process Works

  1. Surface Assessment photo
    Step 1

    Surface Assessment

    We identify and measure the uneven or sunken concrete areas.

  2. Drilling Access Holes photo
    Step 2

    Drilling Access Holes

    Small, dime-sized holes are drilled into the slab for injection.

  3. Material Injection photo
    Step 3

    Material Injection

    Expanding polyurethane foam goes in beneath the slab to raise it evenly.

  4. Elevation Monitoring photo
    Step 4

    Elevation Monitoring

    We measure lift progress as it happens to hit the target level.

  5. Hole Patching photo
    Step 5

    Hole Patching

    Access holes get 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 without adding the extra weight that caused the sinking in the first place.

  • Injection Ports photo

    Injection Ports

    Placed through dime-sized drill holes to control exactly where foam goes under the slab.

  • Patch Compound photo

    Patch Compound

    Fills the access holes for a finish that blends into the existing concrete.

  • Surface Sealant photo

    Surface Sealant

    Protects the repaired slab from moisture and staining through winter freeze-thaw.

  • Leveling Gauge photo

    Leveling Gauge

    Confirms slab elevation in real time during the lift.

  • Bonding Agent photo

    Bonding Agent

    Improves adhesion between the patch and the original concrete surface.

FAQs

Concrete Lifting FAQs

Is polyurethane foam lifting better than mudjacking?

For most South Jordan jobs. Polyurethane foam is lighter, sets within hours instead of days, and doesn't add the heavy weight that mudjacking's cement slurry does to already soft soil.

How much does concrete lifting cost in South Jordan?

Cost depends on slab size and how far it's sunk. Small touch-ups start a few hundred dollars, while larger driveway or patio lifts run higher.

How long does concrete lifting take?

Most residential slab lifts finish in a few hours to one day, and the slab can typically be used again the same day.

Do I need a permit for concrete lifting?

Standard driveway, patio, or sidewalk lifting usually doesn't need a permit. Anything tied to structural foundation work may.

Is DIY concrete lifting a good idea?

DIY foam kits exist, but getting even lift without over-injecting or cracking the slab takes equipment and experience most homeowners don't have on hand.

Will the slab sink again after lifting?

Properly injected foam fills the void and supports the slab going forward. If the original cause was poor drainage, pairing the lift with a French drain helps prevent a repeat.
