Concrete Lifting in Ogden, UT

Polyurethane concrete lifting in Ogden for sunken driveways, patios, and sidewalks. Same-day cure, free estimates available.

Serving Ogden and nearby communities.

Concrete lifting raises sunken slabs back to grade using polyurethane foam injected through dime-sized drill holes, no tear-out required. Ogden Foundation Pros uses this polyjacking method on driveways, patios, sidewalks, and garage approaches across the Ogden area.

Benchland soil settling is common under slabs poured decades ago with lighter compaction than current standards. Combine that with runoff from spring snowmelt eroding the base under a slab, and you get the sunken panels and trip hazards we see across Ogden's older neighborhoods.

What's included

What's included with Concrete Lifting

  • Typically included — slab assessment, drilling access holes, polyurethane foam injection, elevation monitoring, hole patching.
  • Optional — joint resealing around the lifted panel, surface sealant application.
  • 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

    Measure how far each section has sunk below grade.

  2. Drilling Access Holes photo
    Step 2

    Drilling Access Holes

    Drill dime-sized holes at planned injection points.

  3. Material Injection photo
    Step 3

    Material Injection

    Pump expanding polyurethane foam beneath the slab.

  4. Elevation Monitoring photo
    Step 4

    Elevation Monitoring

    Track the lift in real time to hit the target level.

  5. Hole Patching photo
    Step 5

    Hole Patching

    Fill drilled holes with matching patch compound.

  6. Final Inspection photo
    Step 6

    Final Inspection

    Check the slab for level and stability under load.

Materials

Materials and methods for Concrete Lifting

The lifting material and finish work both matter for a durable result in Utah's freeze-thaw climate.

  • Polyurethane Foam photo

    Polyurethane Foam

    Hydrophobic foam that expands beneath the slab, lighter than old mudjacking slurry so it won't cause the same settling over time.

  • Injection Ports photo

    Injection Ports

    Placed at calculated points so the foam lifts the slab evenly instead of tilting it.

  • Patch Compound photo

    Patch Compound

    Fills the access holes flush so the surface looks finished, not drilled.

  • Surface Sealant photo

    Surface Sealant

    Protects the patched area from staining and moisture intrusion.

  • Leveling Gauge photo

    Leveling Gauge

    Used on-site to confirm the slab reaches the correct elevation before stopping.

  • Bonding Agent photo

    Bonding Agent

    Improves how well the patch material grips the surrounding original concrete.

Timeline

How long does concrete lifting take?

  1. 01

    Stage 1

    Polyurethane cures fast compared to older mudjacking methods, which is most of the appeal.

  2. 02

    Assessment and marking

    same day
  3. 03

    Drilling and injection

    a few hours per slab.

  4. 04

    Cure time

    typically walk-on ready within an hour.

FAQs

Concrete Lifting FAQs

How long does polyurethane lifting last compared to mudjacking?

Polyurethane foam is lighter and more water-resistant than traditional mudjacking slurry, so it's less likely to cause the same repeat settling under the slab over the years.

How much does concrete lifting cost in Ogden?

Cost depends on slab size and how deep the void under it runs. Request a free estimate for your driveway, patio, or walkway.

Is concrete lifting cheaper than replacement?

Generally yes. Lifting an existing slab costs a fraction of demolition and repour, as long as the concrete itself isn't cracked or crumbling.

Do I need a permit for concrete lifting?

Most driveway, patio, and sidewalk lifting doesn't need a permit. Work tied into structural foundation repair sometimes does.

Can I walk or drive on the slab right after?

Polyurethane cures fast, usually within an hour for foot traffic and the same day for vehicles, but we'll confirm timing on-site based on the job.

What causes concrete to sink in the first place?

Soil erosion under the slab from runoff, or settling in soil that wasn't compacted well when originally poured. Lifting fills that void instead of just patching the surface.
