Ogden Foundation Pros
Patio Lifting in Ogden, UT
Patio lifting in Ogden with polyurethane foam, same-day cure, and drainage correction for sunken or pooling backyard slabs.
Serving Ogden and nearby communities.
A backyard patio that pools water after every rain isn't a drainage quirk, it's a sign the soil under the slab has eroded away. Ogden Foundation Pros lifts and re-slopes sunken patio panels with polyurethane foam injection, correcting both the height and the drainage direction in one visit.
Yards on sloped benchland lots around Ogden collect runoff that works its way under patio slabs over time, eroding the base and leaving voids that eventually show up as a dip or standing water. Polyjacking fills that void from below instead of covering it with more topsoil.

How our Patio Lifting process works
Step 1Patio Assessment
Uneven or settled sections are identified and measured.
Step 2Access Point Drilling
Small dime-sized holes are made at key points across the surface.
Step 3Foam Injection
Expanding polyurethane is injected to raise the settled section.
Step 4Level Verification
Elevation and drainage slope are checked throughout the lift.
Step 5Hole Patching
Access points are filled and smoothed to match the surrounding surface.
Step 6Final Walkthrough
The patio is reviewed to confirm a level, properly draining finish.
Materials
Materials and methods for Patio Lifting
Outdoor slabs take on more freeze-thaw exposure than an interior floor, so the material has to handle that cycling.
Polyurethane Foam
Lifts patio slabs with minimal disruption to surrounding landscaping, no heavy equipment compacting the yard.
Patch Compound
Fills and finishes the dime-sized access holes smoothly into the existing slab.
Joint Filler
Restores expansion joints disturbed during the lift so water has a controlled path, not a crack.
Surface Sealant
Guards the patio against moisture and the freeze-thaw cycling that's common through Ogden winters.
Leveling Tools
Used to verify consistent elevation and proper slope away from the house across the whole patio.
Bonding Agent
Improves adhesion between the patch material and the existing concrete at each injection point.

Cost
What does patio lifting cost in Ogden?
Cost depends on patio size, number of panels, and how deep the void under the slab runs. Ask for a free estimate to see where your patio falls in that range.
| Project type | Typical range | What’s included |
|---|---|---|
| Single panel lift | $350–$1,000 | one access area and injection points. |
| Full patio, multiple panels | $1,000–$3,000 | several panels lifted and resloped in one visit. |
| Large patio or severe void | $3,000–$5,500+ | extensive injection across a wide area. |
These are typical local ballparks — final cost depends on scope, materials, and site conditions. A free estimate gives you an accurate, itemized number for your home.

Patio Lifting FAQs
How much does patio lifting cost in Ogden?
Most single-panel lifts run $350-$1,000. A full patio with several sunken sections runs higher but is still generally cheaper than replacement.
How long before I can use the patio again?
Polyurethane foam typically cures within an hour or two, so the patio is usually walk-on ready the same day.
Will lifting fix the water pooling on my patio?
The process corrects both elevation and slope, so water is redirected away from the house instead of pooling.
Can lifting damage my landscaping?
Access holes are small and targeted, so disruption to surrounding plants and landscaping is minimal compared to excavation-based repairs.
Is patio lifting cheaper than tearing it out and repouring?
Yes. Lifting addresses the void under the slab without the cost of demolition and new concrete.
Why does my patio keep sinking even after I added topsoil?
Topsoil changes the surface grade but doesn't fill the eroded space under the slab, so the dip returns as the soil settles again.
