Concrete Lifting in Kaysville, UT
Concrete lifting in Kaysville: polyjacking with hydrophobic foam to raise sunken slabs same-day, free estimates available.
Serving Kaysville and nearby communities.
A sunken driveway or patio slab is a different problem than a cracked foundation wall. Slabs settle from freeze-thaw cycling and poor base compaction underneath, not from the structural soil movement that affects a foundation. Polyjacking fixes the slab itself.
Kaysville Foundation Pros uses hydrophobic polyurethane foam injection, not mudjacking, to lift sunken concrete back to grade. It's faster, lighter on the soil, and doesn't rely on a heavy mud slurry that can still shift later.
What's included
What's Included with Concrete Lifting
Typically included: -
- Slab assessment and elevation measurement — Dime-sized drill holes at strategic lift points -.
- Hydrophobic polyurethane foam injection — Hole patching to match surrounding concrete.
Optional
- Joint resealing on adjacent expansion joints
- Surface sealant application after lift
Customer prep
- Clear vehicles or furniture off the slab before the crew arrives
- Note any trip-hazard edges you want addressed specifically

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, holding up well through Davis County's freeze-thaw cycles.
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.
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 |
|---|---|
| Filling a small surface crack with patch compound | Lifting a sunken slab evenly, since foam injection needs calibrated pressure |
| Sealing a slab's surface for weather protection | Any job involving multiple panels that need to match elevation |
| — | Driveway or patio work near a garage or entryway where uneven lift creates new cracking |

FAQs
Concrete Lifting FAQs
Is polyurethane foam lifting better than mudjacking for my driveway?
Yes, . Foam cures within hours instead of days, weighs far less so it won't compress soft soil further, and the holes are smaller than traditional mudjacking ports.
How much does concrete lifting cost compared to replacement?
Polyjacking typically runs well below full slab replacement, often by half or more, since there's no demolition or new concrete pour involved.
Does concrete lifting work on all types of sunken slabs?
It works well on driveways, patios, and sidewalks. Badly cracked or structurally failed slabs may need replacement instead of lifting.
How long does the foam need to cure before I can use the slab?
Most lifted slabs are ready for foot traffic or vehicle weight within a few hours of the injection.
Will the slab sink again after lifting?
The foam itself doesn't compress or break down like mud slurry can. If the underlying soil issue isn't addressed, some settling risk remains, but it's much less common than with traditional mudjacking.
