Sunken slabs don't fix themselves. Most of the time the void under a driveway, patio, or sidewalk slab only grows as water keeps washing soil out from underneath it. Midvale Foundation Pros lifts settled concrete with polyurethane foam injection instead of the old mudjacking slurry method. Smaller holes, faster cure time, and a lighter fill that won't add more weight to already-soft soil.
Salt Lake Valley's mix of clay and sandy soil compacts unevenly after heavy snowmelt and freeze-thaw cycling, and that's usually what's driving the sink in the first place. We diagnose the void before we fill it, so the lift holds instead of settling again next season.
What's included
What's included with Concrete Lifting
Typically included: slab assessment, dime-sized access hole drilling, polyurethane foam injection, elevation checks during the lift, hole patching.
Optional: joint resealing, surface sealant application, multi-slab leveling for connected sections.
Customer prep: clear furniture or planters off the slab and move vehicles away from the work area beforehand.

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 against Midvale's freeze-thaw swings without breaking down.
Injection Ports
Allow controlled placement of lifting material under the slab so we can target the exact low spot.
Patch Compound
Fills drilled access holes for a smooth finish that blends with the surrounding concrete.
Surface Sealant
Protects the repaired area from moisture and staining, extending the life of the lift.
Leveling Gauge
Used to measure and confirm slab elevation during lifting, so we don't overcorrect.
Bonding Agent
Improves adhesion between new patch material and existing concrete for a durable repair.

DIY vs hiring a pro for Concrete Lifting
| DIY | Hire a pro |
|---|---|
| Minor cosmetic crack filling on the surface | Any slab showing more than an inch of settlement |
| Resealing expansion joints after a professional lift | Injection work, since pressure control determines whether the lift is even or cracks the slab further |
| Patching small chips that don't affect slab level | Diagnosing whether the void is from erosion, a broken pipe, or soil compaction |

FAQs
Concrete Lifting FAQs
What's the difference between polyjacking and mudjacking?
Polyjacking uses lightweight polyurethane foam that cures in minutes and doesn't add much weight to the soil underneath. Mudjacking uses a heavier cement slurry that takes longer to cure and can add stress to soil that's already settling.
How much does concrete lifting cost in Midvale?
Most jobs run a few hundred to a couple thousand dollars depending on slab size and how much foam is needed to fill the void. We give a firm number after seeing the site.
Will the lifted slab sink again?
It shouldn't if the original cause of settlement (usually erosion or soil compaction) was addressed during injection. We check for drainage issues as part of the assessment.
Is concrete lifting faster than replacement?
Yes. Most lifts finish same-day versus a multi-day tear-out and repour for full replacement.
Can you lift a slab that's cracked?
As long as the crack isn't so wide the slab has separated into unstable pieces. We'll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do I need to move my car or furniture first?
Clear the slab area so we have full access to drill and inject.
