Concrete lifting raises a sunken slab back to level by pumping hydrophobic polyurethane foam underneath it through dime-sized drill holes, instead of tearing the slab out and pouring new concrete. West Valley City Foundation Pros uses this method on driveways, patios, sidewalks, and garage floors that have settled unevenly over soil that's been compacting and shifting for decades.
Most slabs here sink because the soil under them lost volume, either from water washing out fines or from freeze-thaw cycling that's been working on West Valley City's older concrete for years. Foam lifting fills that void and supports the slab without the mess, cost, or downtime of a full replacement pour.

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
West Valley City's mix of clay and sandy soil settles unevenly under slabs, so the lifting material has to fill voids without adding weight that the soil can't support.
Polyurethane Foam
Expands beneath slabs to lift and stabilize concrete surfaces, well suited to the lighter load limits of settled soil around older West Valley City homes.
Injection Ports
Allow controlled placement of lifting material under the slab so the lift happens in even stages, not one risky push.
Patch Compound
Fills drilled access holes for a smooth finish that blends with the rest of the driveway or walkway.
Surface Sealant
Protects the repaired area from moisture and staining, important given the valley's spring runoff.
Leveling Gauge
Used to measure and confirm slab elevation during lifting, keeping the surface flat rather than guessing by eye.
Bonding Agent
Improves adhesion between new patch material and existing concrete for a durable, long-lasting repair.

Concrete Lifting FAQs
How much does concrete lifting cost in West Valley City?
Most residential jobs run $400 to $2,500 depending on slab size and void depth, with larger multi-slab jobs costing more. A free estimate gives you an exact number.
How long does concrete lifting take?
Most single-slab jobs are finished in a few hours, with the slab ready for light foot traffic the same day and vehicle load after about 24 hours of cure time.
Do I need a permit for concrete lifting?
Standard residential driveway, patio, and sidewalk lifting usually doesn't require a permit, though public right-of-way sidewalks may need city sign-off.
Is DIY concrete lifting a good idea?
No. The foam injection equipment and pressure control needed for an even lift aren't DIY-friendly, and a bad lift can crack the slab further.
How is concrete lifting different from replacing the slab?
Lifting fills the void under an existing slab and raises it back to level, usually at a fraction of the cost and time of removing and repouring concrete.
