North Ogden Foundation Pros
Patio Lifting in North Ogden, UT
Patio lifting in North Ogden, UT levels sunken slabs with polyurethane foam injection, restores drainage away from the house, free estimates.
Serving North Ogden and nearby communities.
A patio that's sinking near the house usually means water is pooling against the foundation instead of draining away, which is a drainage problem as much as a leveling one. North Ogden Foundation Pros lifts sunken patio slabs with polyurethane foam, correcting both the low spot and the slope so water runs away from the house again. On bench lots above Ogden, patios closest to the foundation tend to settle first as backfill soil compacts under repeated snowmelt cycles.
The fix is a same-day injection job : small access holes, foam pumped under the low section, and a slope check before we patch the holes. No excavation, no new concrete pour, and the patio is walkable again within a few hours.

How our Patio Lifting process works
Step 1Patio Assessment
Uneven or settled patio sections are identified and measured for void depth.
Step 2Access Point Drilling
Small holes are made at key points across the patio surface.
Step 3Foam Injection
Polyurethane foam is injected to raise the settled sections evenly.
Step 4Level Verification
Elevation and slope direction are checked throughout the lift.
Step 5Hole Patching
Access points are filled and smoothed to match the patio surface.
Step 6Final Walkthrough
The patio is inspected to confirm a level, properly draining finish.
Materials
Materials and methods for Patio Lifting
Polyurethane Foam
Lifts patio slabs with minimal disruption to surrounding landscaping, a useful edge when a patio sits close to planting beds near the foundation.
Patch Compound
Fills and finishes drilled access holes so the repair blends with the surrounding slab.
Joint Filler
Restores expansion joints after lifting, keeping water from channeling down into the same low spot next spring.
Surface Sealant
Guards the patio against moisture and freeze-thaw wear common on north-facing patios in Weber County.
Leveling Tools
Laser-guided checks confirm the slab rises evenly without tipping toward the house wall.
Bonding Agent
Improves adhesion between patch material and the existing slab for a durable repair.

FAQs
Patio Lifting FAQs
Why does my patio keep sinking near the house?
Soil closest to the foundation often gets backfilled loosely during construction, and repeated snowmelt cycles compact it further each year, creating a low spot that channels water back toward the house instead of away from it.
What's the difference between mudjacking and polyurethane foam lifting?
Mudjacking uses a heavy cement-based slurry that adds load to already-settled soil, while polyurethane foam is lightweight and expands to fill voids without that added weight, giving a more stable long-term lift.
How long does patio lifting take?
Most residential patios are lifted in a single visit, with the area walkable again within a few hours once the foam cures.
Is it worth fixing a patio if it's just cosmetic sinking?
If the sinking directs water toward the foundation, it's not purely cosmetic. Left alone, that water adds hydrostatic pressure against the basement wall and can turn into a bigger repair.
Can I DIY patio lifting with a store-bought foam kit?
Small consumer kits don't have the pressure control to lift a full slab evenly, and an uneven lift can crack the patio further. This is a job for pressure-rated equipment and experience judging lift rate.
