Concrete Lifting in South Ogden, UT

Polyurethane concrete lifting in South Ogden for sunken driveways, patios, and sidewalks, same-day and drivable. Free estimates.

Serving South Ogden and nearby communities.

Ever notice a slab near the garage that's dropped half an inch lower than it used to be? Bench soil around South Ogden settles unevenly, and driveways, patios, and sidewalks take the brunt of it.

South Ogden Foundation Pros uses polyurethane concrete lifting, also called polyjacking, to raise and level sunken slabs without tearing anything out. Drill a dime-sized hole, inject hydrophobic foam, lift the slab, patch the hole. This covers driveways, patios, and sidewalks under one process; see Driveway Lifting, Patio Lifting, and Sidewalk Lifting for slab-specific detail.

What's included

What's Included with Concrete Lifting

Typically included

  • Slab-by-slab assessment of void depth and settling
  • Dime-sized access hole drilling
  • Hydrophobic polyurethane foam injection and lift
  • Hole patching to match the surrounding surface

Optional

  • Joint sealant refresh on affected expansion joints
  • Re-grading check for proper water flow away from the house

Customer prep

  • Clear vehicles and furniture off the slab being lifted
  • Note which sections have sunk the most, if there are several

How it works

How Our Concrete Lifting Process Works

  1. Surface Assessment photo
    Step 1

    Surface Assessment

    Uneven or sunken concrete areas get identified and measured.

  2. Drilling Access Holes photo
    Step 2

    Drilling Access Holes

    Small holes are drilled to allow material injection.

  3. Material Injection photo
    Step 3

    Material Injection

    Expanding foam goes in beneath the slab to raise it evenly.

  4. Elevation Monitoring photo
    Step 4

    Elevation Monitoring

    Lift progress is measured against the target level.

  5. Hole Patching photo
    Step 5

    Hole Patching

    Access holes get filled to match the surrounding surface.

  6. Final Inspection photo
    Step 6

    Final Inspection

    The lifted area is checked for levelness and stability.

Materials

Materials and Methods for Concrete Lifting

  • Polyurethane Foam photo

    Polyurethane Foam

    Expands beneath the slab to lift it, a better fit for Utah winters than old mudjacking slurry since it won't absorb water and refreeze.

  • Injection Ports photo

    Injection Ports

    Allow controlled, precise material placement so the slab lifts evenly instead of tilting.

  • Patch Compound photo

    Patch Compound

    Fills the drilled holes for a near-invisible repair once cured.

  • Surface Sealant photo

    Surface Sealant

    Protects the patched area from staining and moisture intrusion.

  • Leveling Gauge photo

    Leveling Gauge

    Measures elevation throughout the lift to hit the target height exactly.

  • Bonding Agent photo

    Bonding Agent

    Improves adhesion between the new patch and the surrounding original concrete.

FAQs

Concrete Lifting FAQs

What's the difference between polyjacking and mudjacking?

Polyjacking injects lightweight polyurethane foam that cures fast and resists water absorption. Mudjacking pumps a heavier cement slurry that's slower to cure and more prone to breaking down in freeze-thaw conditions.

How much does it cost to fix a sinking driveway in Ogden?

Polyjacking runs 50-80% cheaper than tearing out and replacing the slab, with pricing tied to slab size and void depth.

Do I need a permit for concrete lifting?

Lifting an existing driveway, patio, or sidewalk slab usually doesn't need a permit. If the lift is part of a larger structural foundation repair, that portion might.

Is DIY concrete leveling a good option?

Store-bought leveling compounds sit on top of the problem. They don't fill the void underneath, so the slab usually settles again within a season or two.

When does a sinking slab mean call a pro?

Trip hazards, water pooling toward the house instead of away from it, and visible gaps widening at slab joints all mean it's time to call.
