Concrete Lifting in Draper, UT

Concrete lifting in Draper, UT: polyjacking with hydrophobic foam raises sunken slabs in hours, not days. Free estimates.

Serving Draper and nearby communities.

A sunken slab near the garage or a tilted patio corner usually means the soil underneath settled, not that the concrete itself failed. Draper's mixed bench and valley soil shifts with seasonal moisture, and that movement leaves a void under the slab that eventually shows up as a dip, a crack at the joint, or pooling water.

Draper Foundation Pros uses polyjacking, injecting hydrophobic polyurethane foam under the slab, as the modern alternative to mudjacking for driveways, patios, and sidewalks across Draper.

What's included

What's included with Concrete Lifting

Typically included: surface assessment, access hole drilling, foam injection to raise the slab, and patching. Optional: joint resealing if multiple slabs along the same run need realignment. Customer prep: clear furniture or vehicles from the work area before the crew arrives.

How it works

How our Concrete Lifting process works

  1. Surface Assessment photo
    Step 1

    Surface Assessment

    Uneven or sunken concrete areas are identified and measured.

  2. Drilling Access Holes photo
    Step 2

    Drilling Access Holes

    Small holes are drilled into the concrete to allow material injection.

  3. Material Injection photo
    Step 3

    Material Injection

    Expanding foam is injected beneath the slab to raise it evenly.

  4. Elevation Monitoring photo
    Step 4

    Elevation Monitoring

    Lift progress is measured to achieve the desired level.

  5. Hole Patching photo
    Step 5

    Hole Patching

    Access holes are 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 slabs to lift and stabilize concrete surfaces without the weight or mess of mud slurry.

  • Injection Ports photo

    Injection Ports

    Allow controlled placement of lifting material under the slab for an even rise.

  • Patch Compound photo

    Patch Compound

    Fills drilled access holes for a smooth finish that blends with Draper's standard concrete mix.

  • Surface Sealant photo

    Surface Sealant

    Protects the repaired area from moisture and staining through freeze-thaw winters.

  • Leveling Gauge photo

    Leveling Gauge

    Used to measure and confirm slab elevation during lifting so every corner matches.

  • Bonding Agent photo

    Bonding Agent

    Improves adhesion between new patch material and existing concrete.

Timeline

How long does concrete lifting project take?

  1. 01

    Stage 1

    Most concrete lifting jobs finish in a single visit, since the foam reaches working strength fast.

  2. 02

    Assessment

    same day
  3. 03

    Drilling and injection

    a few hours depending on slab size.

  4. 04

    Usable surface

    within an hour or two of the final patch.

FAQs

Concrete Lifting FAQs

What's the difference between polyjacking and mudjacking?

Polyjacking uses a lightweight, expanding polyurethane foam that cures in minutes. Mudjacking uses a heavier mud-based slurry that takes longer to cure and adds more weight to already-settled soil.

How much cheaper is foam lifting than replacing a concrete patio?

Foam lifting typically costs meaningfully less than a full tear-out and repour since there's no demolition, disposal, or curing wait involved.

Is concrete lifting a DIY project?

Store-bought mudjacking kits don't match the lift precision or weight control of a professional foam injection setup, and getting the pressure wrong can crack the slab further.

Do I need a permit to lift a driveway or patio?

Most residential concrete lifting doesn't need a permit. Work tied to structural elements or public right-of-way sidewalks is more likely to require one.

How long before I can drive or walk on the lifted concrete?

Most surfaces are usable within a couple hours since the foam reaches full strength quickly.

What causes a slab to sink in the first place?

Soil compaction under the slab, often from disturbed backfill during original construction, settles further with seasonal moisture changes.
