Concrete Lifting in North Ogden, UT

Polyurethane concrete lifting in North Ogden, UT levels sunken slabs in a day without full tear-out. Free estimates on driveways, patios, sidewalks.

Serving North Ogden and nearby communities.

Sloped lots above Ogden mean driveways, patios, and walkways settle unevenly as fill soil compacts over the years. Instead of pulling out a slab and repouring it, North Ogden Foundation Pros uses polyurethane foam injection to lift the existing concrete back to level.

This page covers the lifting method itself. If you're dealing with a specific slab, see our driveway, patio, or sidewalk lifting pages for details on that job.

What's included

What's included with Concrete Lifting

Typically included: slab assessment, dime-sized drill holes at strategic points, polyurethane foam injection to lift the slab, elevation checks during the lift, and hole patching to match the surrounding surface.

Optional: joint resealing where slabs have shifted apart, or a surface sealer applied after patching for extra moisture protection.

Customer prep: clear vehicles, furniture, or planters off the affected slab before the crew arrives.

How it works

How our Concrete Lifting process works

  1. Surface Assessment photo
    Step 1

    Surface Assessment

    We measure how far each sunken section has dropped on the slab.

  2. Drilling Access Holes photo
    Step 2

    Drilling Access Holes

    Dime-sized holes go in at points chosen to spread the lift evenly.

  3. Material Injection photo
    Step 3

    Material Injection

    Expanding polyurethane foam pumps in beneath the slab to raise it.

  4. Elevation Monitoring photo
    Step 4

    Elevation Monitoring

    We track the lift in real time so the slab stops level, not overcorrected.

  5. Hole Patching photo
    Step 5

    Hole Patching

    Drilled holes get filled and finished to blend with the existing concrete.

  6. Final Inspection photo
    Step 6

    Final Inspection

    We check the slab for consistent level and confirm there's no further movement.

Materials

Materials and methods for Concrete Lifting

Freeze-thaw cycling and bench-slope settlement both play a role in why North Ogden slabs sink unevenly. These materials are chosen with that in mind.

  • Polyurethane Foam photo

    Polyurethane Foam

    Expands beneath the slab within minutes, so it lifts concrete without adding the heavy wet load that mudjacking slurry puts on already-settling soil.

  • Injection Ports photo

    Injection Ports

    Placed at measured intervals so the foam spreads evenly instead of lifting one corner more than the rest.

  • Patch Compound photo

    Patch Compound

    Seals the dime-sized drill holes flush, so the repair isn't visible once it cures.

  • Surface Sealant photo

    Surface Sealant

    Added where the slab sees heavy snowmelt runoff, to cut down on moisture working into the patched holes.

  • Leveling Gauge photo

    Leveling Gauge

    Confirms the slab reaches the same elevation as adjacent sections before we stop injecting.

  • Bonding Agent photo

    Bonding Agent

    Helps the patch material grip the original concrete so it doesn't pop loose with winter freeze-thaw.

FAQs

Concrete Lifting FAQs

What's the difference between concrete lifting and mudjacking?

Mudjacking pumps a heavy cement slurry under the slab, which adds weight to soil that's already settling. Polyurethane foam lifting uses a lightweight expanding material instead, so it lifts the slab without putting more load on the ground underneath.

Is concrete lifting cheaper than replacing the slab?

Typically. Foam lifting runs roughly half to a third of what a full tear-out and repour costs for a comparable slab, since there's no demolition or disposal involved.

How long before I can drive or walk on a lifted slab?

Polyurethane foam cures fast. Most slabs can handle foot traffic within 15 minutes and vehicle weight the same day.

Do I need a permit to lift an existing concrete slab?

Lifting an existing slab usually doesn't require a permit since there's no new construction or excavation involved. A full slab replacement would be a different matter.

Can every sunken slab be lifted, or does some concrete need replacing?

If the slab is cracked into multiple pieces or structurally compromised, lifting won't hold. A solid slab with a void underneath is the right candidate for foam injection.
