A sunken slab near a garage, patio, or walkway isn't a foundation problem, it's soil settling underneath a section of concrete that's otherwise sound. Highland Foundation Pros lifts those slabs with polyurethane foam injection: dime-sized drill holes, expanding hydrophobic foam pumped underneath, and the slab raised back to grade without tearing anything out. This replaces the old mudjacking approach most Utah contractors have moved away from, since foam cures faster and weighs far less on already-soft soil.
Sunken slabs show up across Highland's sloped lots wherever soil has settled unevenly, often right at the transition point near a garage or foundation wall.
What's included
What's included
Typically included: slab measurement and lift plan, drilling access holes, foam injection to target elevation, hole patching to match the surrounding surface.
Optional: joint resealing on adjacent expansion joints, drainage correction if the low spot was collecting water.
Customer prep: move vehicles, patio furniture, or planters off the slab before the crew arrives.

How our Concrete Lifting process works
Step 1Surface Assessment
We measure how far the slab has sunk and map the lift points.
Step 2Drilling Access Holes
Small holes go into the concrete at planned injection points.
Step 3Material Injection
Expanding foam pumps under the slab and lifts it evenly.
Step 4Elevation Monitoring
We track the lift in real time to hit the right level, not overshoot it.
Step 5Hole Patching
Drilled holes get filled and finished flush with the surface.
Step 6Final Inspection
We check the slab for level and confirm it's stable underfoot.
Materials
Materials and methods for Concrete Lifting
Polyurethane Foam
Expands within minutes and cures fast enough to drive or walk on the same day, a big advantage over waiting on traditional mudjacking slurry.
Injection Ports
Allow controlled placement of lifting material under the slab.
Patch Compound
Fills the drill holes so the repair blends into the existing slab instead of leaving visible marks.
Surface Sealant
Protects the repaired area from moisture and staining.
Leveling Gauge
Used to measure and confirm slab elevation during lifting.
Bonding Agent
Helps the patch material grip the original concrete so it doesn't pop loose later.

When to call for Concrete Lifting
Call for a free estimate if any of these describe your concrete right now.
- A slab has sunk visibly at one edge, creating a trip hazard or gap at the joint.
- Water is pooling on a settled section instead of draining away.
- A garage approach panel has dropped below the driveway level.
- Patio or walkway sections are uneven enough to catch a shoe or stroller wheel.

FAQs
Concrete Lifting FAQs
Is polyurethane foam lifting actually as strong as mudjacking or hydraulic piers?
For slab leveling, yes, foam provides comparable load support at a fraction of the weight added to the soil, which is why most Utah contractors have shifted away from traditional mudjacking slurry.
How much does concrete lifting cost?
Cost depends on slab size and how far it needs to lift, generally running a few hundred to a couple thousand dollars for typical driveway, patio, or walkway sections. A free estimate gives you an exact number.
Can I walk or drive on the slab the same day?
Usually yes. Polyurethane foam cures fast enough that most lifted slabs are ready for normal use within an hour or two.
Does concrete lifting need a permit?
Generally no, since it's not new construction or structural foundation work, just releveling existing concrete.
Will the slab sink again after lifting?
If the underlying soil settlement issue isn't addressed (poor drainage, for example), the slab can settle again over time. We'll flag drainage concerns during the estimate if we see them.
