A backyard patio that's settled unevenly or started pooling water after a storm is usually a soil problem, not a concrete problem. West Valley City Foundation Pros lifts sunken patio slabs with polyurethane foam injected through small drilled holes, correcting both the level and the drainage slope without replacing the slab.
Patios in West Valley City yards sit on the same shifting clay and sandy soil mix that moves under driveways and sidewalks, so settlement here is common on both older lots and newer backyard additions. Lifting restores the original grade so water sheds away from the house instead of collecting against the foundation.

Step 6Final Walkthrough
The patio is inspected to confirm a level, stable finish.
Materials
Materials and methods for Patio Lifting
Patio slabs tend to settle slowly over years as soil beneath them compacts and shifts with seasonal moisture, so the repair material needs to fill that space without overloading the ground further.
Polyurethane Foam
Lifts patio slabs with minimal disruption to surrounding landscaping, important on lots with mature plantings close to the slab edge.
Patch Compound
Fills and finishes drilled access holes smoothly so the repair isn't an eyesore.
Joint Filler
Restores expansion joints after the lifting process to keep water and debris out.
Surface Sealant
Guards the patio against moisture and surface wear through winter freeze-thaw cycling.
Leveling Tools
Used to verify consistent elevation across the patio rather than guessing by sight.
Bonding Agent
Enhances adhesion between patch material and existing concrete for a repair that lasts.

Patio Lifting FAQs
How much does patio lifting cost in West Valley City?
Most patio jobs run $400 to $2,200 depending on how many slab sections need lifting, with larger combined jobs costing more.
How long does patio lifting take?
A typical patio is lifted and patched in a few hours during a single visit, with a short cure time before it's ready for furniture.
Do I need a permit for patio lifting?
Standard residential patio lifting usually doesn't need a permit unless the work changes drainage flow toward a neighboring lot.
Is DIY patio lifting a good idea?
No. Getting an even lift across multiple slab sections requires injection equipment and careful monitoring that isn't practical as a homeowner project.
How do I know if my patio needs lifting instead of a drainage fix?
If the slab itself has sunk or tilted, lifting is the direct fix. If the slab is level but water still pools, a French drain or regrading may be the better answer, which we can assess during the estimate.
