Why does water keep pooling on your backyard patio after the snow melts? On Highland's sloped lots, patios often settle unevenly over time, creating low spots that hold runoff right against the back of the house. Highland Foundation Pros lifts sunken patio slabs with polyurethane foam injection, re-pitching the surface so water moves away from the foundation instead of toward it.
This matters beyond the patio itself: a slab pitched toward the house pushes water right where your foundation doesn't need it, so correcting patio slope is foundation protection as much as it is a backyard fix.

Materials and methods for Patio Lifting
The same lightweight foam system used on driveways works well on patios, since it adds lift without adding load to the soil underneath.
Polyurethane Foam
Lifts patio slabs with minimal disruption to surrounding landscaping, important given how close patios usually sit to planting beds.
Patch Compound
Fills and finishes drilled access holes smoothly, so the repair isn't an eyesore.
Joint Filler
Restores expansion joints after the lifting process, keeping water out of the joint lines going forward.
Surface Sealant
Guards the patio against moisture and surface wear.
Leveling Tools
Used to verify consistent elevation across the patio.
Bonding Agent
Enhances adhesion between patch material and existing concrete.

FAQs
Patio Lifting FAQs
How much does patio lifting cost in Highland?
Cost depends on patio square footage, number of low spots, and how much lift is needed. A free estimate gives you a number specific to your patio.
Can patio lifting help keep water away from my foundation?
Re-pitching a settled patio so it slopes away from the house instead of toward it reduces water pressure against your foundation wall.
How long before I can put furniture back on the patio?
Usually within a few hours of the foam curing, though we'll give you a specific timeframe based on the job.
Will lifting damage my landscaping around the patio?
The access holes are small and placed carefully, so disruption to nearby plantings is minimal.
Do I need a permit to lift my patio?
Typically no, since it's leveling an existing slab rather than new construction. Check with your city if other structural work is planned alongside it.
What causes a patio to sink in the first place?
Soil settling beneath the slab over time, often worse on sloped lots where runoff erodes support under one section faster than another.
