A patio that's settled on one side usually means water isn't draining away from the house the way it should, and that standing water can work its way back toward the foundation over time. Midvale Foundation Pros lifts sunken patio slabs with polyurethane foam injection, correcting the low spot and restoring proper drainage slope without tearing out and repouring the whole patio.
Clay-heavy soil across the valley shifts with seasonal moisture, and backyard patios often settle unevenly because they sit on less compacted fill than the rest of the lot. A foam injection lift addresses the void directly instead of just patching the surface.

Patio Lifting FAQs
How much does it cost to lift a sunken concrete patio vs tearing it out?
Lifting typically costs a fraction of tear-out and repour, since there's no demolition or new concrete pour involved. Exact pricing depends on slab size and void depth.
What causes pooling water on a backyard patio?
Usually uneven settlement that's tilted the slab toward the house instead of away from it, often from soil compaction or erosion underneath.
How long does the lift take?
Most patios are lifted in a single visit and usable again within a few hours.
Can you fix the slope so water drains properly?
Slope correction is part of the lift when drainage is the underlying issue.
Is patio lifting permanent?
It holds as long as the underlying cause of settlement is addressed, which we check before injecting.
