Is your driveway or patio slab sinking, but the rest of the concrete still looks fine? That's usually a candidate for lifting rather than full replacement.
Polyurethane concrete lifting, also called polyjacking, raises sunken slabs without tearing them out. It's a separate silo from structural foundation work. No piers, no excavation around the house, just dime-sized drill holes and hydrophobic foam injected under the slab. West Jordan Foundation Pros uses PolyLevel-style polyurethane rather than the old mudjacking slurry, which holds up better against Utah's freeze-thaw ground movement.

How our Concrete Lifting process works
Step 1Surface Assessment
Uneven or sunken concrete areas are identified and measured.
Step 2Drilling Access Holes
Small holes are drilled into the concrete to allow material injection.
Step 3Material Injection
Expanding foam is injected beneath the slab to raise it evenly.
Step 4Elevation Monitoring
Lift progress is measured to achieve the desired level.
Step 5Hole Patching
Access holes are filled and finished to match the surrounding surface.
Step 6Final Inspection
The lifted area is reviewed for levelness and stability.
Materials
Materials and methods for Concrete Lifting
Polyurethane Foam
Expands beneath slabs to lift and stabilize concrete surfaces without adding soil weight.
Injection Ports
Allow controlled placement of lifting material under the slab.
Patch Compound
Fills drilled access holes for a smooth finish.
Surface Sealant
Protects the repaired area from moisture and staining through Utah's wet spring months.
Leveling Gauge
Used to measure and confirm slab elevation during lifting.
Bonding Agent
Improves adhesion between new patch material and existing concrete.

DIY vs hiring a pro for Concrete Lifting
| DIY | Hire a pro |
|---|---|
| Monitoring minor slab settling before it becomes a trip hazard | Sunken slab sections creating trip hazards |
| Filling small surface cracks with concrete caulk as a stopgap | Uneven lift risk from DIY mudjacking kits, which don't match the precision or small hole size of pro foam injection |
| — | Multiple injection points needed for an even lift across a large slab |

FAQs
Concrete Lifting FAQs
Is foam concrete lifting cheaper than tearing out and replacing a driveway?
Generally yes. Polyjacking typically costs a fraction of full tear-out and replacement, since you're raising the existing slab instead of demolishing and repouring it.
How much does concrete lifting cost?
Pricing depends on slab size, sink depth, and number of injection points needed for an even lift.
How long does concrete lifting take?
Most jobs finish same day, with the slab usable again after a short cure period.
Do I need a permit for concrete lifting?
Most residential concrete lifting jobs don't need a permit since no structural modification occurs. Confirm with your local jurisdiction if you're unsure.
Is DIY concrete lifting a good idea?
DIY mudjacking kits don't match the lift precision or small hole size of professional foam injection, and an uneven lift can crack the slab further.
