Concrete Lifting in Draper, UT

Concrete lifting in Draper, UT uses polyurethane foam through dime-sized holes to raise sunken slabs, with free estimates and same-day results.

Concrete lifting raises a sunken slab back to grade using polyurethane foam injected through small drilled holes, which costs a fraction of tearing out and repouring the same slab. Soil compaction under newer Draper construction is the usual cause of a sunken driveway, patio, or walkway section, and polyurethane foam fills the void that compaction leaves behind instead of just patching the surface crack.

Riverton Foundation Pros uses PolyLevel-style hydrophobic foam rather than older mudjacking mud mix, which cures in about 15 minutes and doesn't add the heavy water weight that can make a soft-soil problem worse.

What's included

What's included with Concrete Lifting

Typically included: - Optional: Customer prep:

  • Surface assessment and elevation measurement — Dime-sized access holes drilled at lift points -.
  • Polyurethane foam injection beneath the slab — Elevation monitoring during the lift - Hole patching and surface finish.
  • Joint resealing on adjoining expansion joints
  • Surface sealant applied after the patch cures
  • Clear vehicles or furniture off the slab being lifted
  • Note any drainage issues near the sunken section

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 the slab within minutes, lifting it without adding the heavy moisture load that mudjacking mix carries.

  • Injection Ports photo

    Injection Ports

    Placed at dime-sized drill holes to control exactly where foam goes beneath the slab.

  • Patch Compound photo

    Patch Compound

    Fills the drilled holes flush so the finished surface shows minimal trace of the work.

  • Surface Sealant photo

    Surface Sealant

    Added after patching to protect against Utah's freeze-thaw cycling.

  • Leveling Gauge photo

    Leveling Gauge

    Confirms the slab reaches the correct elevation before the crew moves on.

  • Bonding Agent photo

    Bonding Agent

    Helps the patch material grip the surrounding concrete so it doesn't pop loose later.

FAQs

Concrete Lifting FAQs

Is polyurethane concrete lifting cheaper than replacing a slab?

Yes, . Foam lifting avoids demolition, disposal, and new concrete costs, and the slab is usable again the same day instead of waiting days for a new pour to cure.

Why is my driveway sinking near the garage door?

That spot carries concentrated traffic weight and sits over soil that was backfilled during construction. As that fill compacts over the years, the slab edge nearest the garage often drops first.

How long does concrete lifting take to cure?

Polyurethane foam reaches full strength in about 15 minutes, so the surface is typically drivable or walkable the same day.

Is concrete lifting the same as mudjacking?

No. Mudjacking pumps a heavy mud-based slurry under the slab, which adds weight and can take longer to cure. Polyurethane foam is lightweight, cures fast, and doesn't add extra load to soil that's already struggling to support the slab.

Do I need a permit for concrete lifting?

Standard foam lifting on an existing slab usually doesn't require a permit since no structural replacement is happening.
