Concrete Lifting Service
Patio concrete lifting in Utah County
Your backyard patio or pool deck is meant to be a relaxing outdoor living space, but a sunken, uneven, or cracked slab turns it into an eyesore and a safety concern. Water pooling, sloped surfaces, gaps opening between the slab and house, or a visibly tipped pool deck compromises both function and aesthetics.
Patio settlement typically happens because water has moved below the concrete—either from poor drainage, seasonal snowmelt, or underground erosion—leaving voids that cause the slab to sink and shift. In Utah's climate, freeze-thaw cycles make this problem worse each winter. Rather than tearout and replacement, concrete lifting restores your outdoor space in a day while saving thousands of dollars.
Common Backyard Concrete Problems
Patios and pool decks face unique challenges. They sit directly on exposed soil, receive full sun exposure (accelerating freeze-thaw damage), and are often built over poor or inadequate fill. Water is the enemy—it seeps beneath the slab, erodes support soil, creates voids, and causes settlement.
Signs your patio needs lifting:
- Water pooling or puddling on the surface
- Visible gaps or separation from the house
- Tilted or tipped pool deck sections
- One section of the patio higher or lower than adjacent areas
- Cracking or settling along the perimeter
Ignoring these signs leads to worse water intrusion, continued settling, and eventual structural damage near your foundation.
Utah Valley Climate & Patio Drainage
Utah's high elevation, dramatic temperature swings, and significant seasonal moisture changes create perfect conditions for patio settlement. Winter snowmelt soaks into the ground, saturating the soil beneath your patio. Spring brings freeze-thaw cycles that expand and contract the earth. Summer sun bakes the soil, creating cracks and voids. Each cycle pushes your slab lower.
Better drainage around your patio helps prevent future problems, but if settlement has already occurred, only lifting and void filling can restore the surface. Our polyurethane foam injection process lifts the slab back to level while simultaneously filling voids and stabilizing the soil, preventing recurrence in the same spot.
For pool decks specifically, we ensure proper slope and levelness for both safety and water management—critical for preventing injury and protecting your pool equipment.
Why Lifting is Better Than Replacement for Patios
Patio replacement is disruptive and expensive. Concrete removal, haul-off, and new concrete installation can take weeks and cost $8,000 to $15,000. With polyjacking, your patio is restored to level and ready for use the same day, at a fraction of the cost. Lifting preserves your existing concrete, which is environmentally responsible, and the permanent foam support prevents future settlement in the same area.
