Concrete Lifting in Layton, UT

Polyurethane concrete lifting in Layton, UT to raise sunken slabs without tear-out. Same-day results and free estimates from Layton Foundation Pros.

Serving Layton and nearby communities.

Concrete lifting in Layton raises sunken slabs with polyurethane foam injected through dime-sized drill holes, an alternative to tearing out and repouring concrete that's settled from seasonal soil movement. Layton Foundation Pros uses hydrophobic polyurethane foam rather than old-style mudjacking slurry, since the foam weighs less and cures fast enough to use the surface the same day.

This method works on driveways, patios, sidewalks, and foundation-adjacent slabs that have sunk or tilted. We measure the void beneath the slab, inject at the low points, and monitor elevation as it lifts back level.

What's included

What's included with Concrete Lifting

Typically included: surface assessment, access hole drilling, foam injection, elevation monitoring, hole patching, final inspection.

Optional: slope correction toward existing drainage, joint resealing on adjacent expansion joints.

Customer prep: clear vehicles, planters, or furniture off the slab before the crew arrives.

How it works

How our Concrete Lifting process works

  1. Surface Assessment photo
    Step 1

    Surface Assessment

    We identify and measure uneven or sunken concrete areas.

  2. Drilling Access Holes photo
    Step 2

    Drilling Access Holes

    Small holes get drilled into the concrete for 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

    We measure lift progress to reach the right level.

  5. Hole Patching photo
    Step 5

    Hole Patching

    Access holes get 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 has replaced mudjacking as the standard here because it handles Utah's freeze-thaw swings without adding the weight that caused the slab to settle in the first place.

  • Polyurethane Foam photo

    Polyurethane Foam

    Expands beneath the slab to lift it without adding soil-compressing weight back underneath.

  • Injection Ports photo

    Injection Ports

    Placed at measured low points so the foam lifts evenly instead of tilting the slab further.

  • Patch Compound photo

    Patch Compound

    Fills the small drilled holes for a clean, nearly invisible finish.

  • Surface Sealant photo

    Surface Sealant

    Protects the patched area from moisture staining through winter and spring.

  • Leveling Gauge photo

    Leveling Gauge

    Tracks slab elevation in real time during the lift so we stop at the right height.

  • Bonding Agent photo

    Bonding Agent

    Improves adhesion between the patch and the original concrete so repairs don't flake loose.

FAQs

Concrete Lifting FAQs

What's the difference between foam jacking and mudjacking?

Foam jacking uses lightweight polyurethane that expands to fill voids and lift the slab, while mudjacking pumps a heavier cement slurry underneath, which can add weight to already-settled soil and take longer to cure.

How long does polyurethane foam lifting last compared to replacing concrete?

Foam-lifted slabs typically hold their level for many years when the underlying soil issue is addressed, comparable to replacement but without the cost and downtime of tearing out existing concrete.

Do I need a permit to lift my driveway or sidewalk in Layton?

Standard residential slab lifting on private property typically doesn't require a permit, though sidewalk work in the public right-of-way may need one depending on the city's requirements.

How much does concrete lifting cost compared to tear-out and replacement?

Foam lifting generally costs less than full tear-out and repour, since there's no demolition, disposal, or new concrete cure time involved.

Can concrete lifting fix a slab that's cracked as well as sunken?

Lifting levels the slab, and a visible crack on the same section can often be sealed as part of the same visit depending on its size and location.

How soon can I use the surface after lifting?

Polyurethane foam cures fast enough that most driveways, patios, and walkways are ready for normal use within a couple of hours.

Timeline

How long does concrete lifting take?

Most concrete lifting jobs wrap up in a single visit. Assessment: same day. Drilling and injection: a few hours depending on slab size. Patching and finishing: same visit. Return to use: within a couple hours of patching. <!-- rover-autofix-links -->
