Concrete Lifting in Centerville, UT
Polyurethane concrete lifting in Centerville, UT levels sunken slabs with dime-sized holes, no mudjacking mess, free estimates.
Serving Centerville and nearby communities.
A sunken slab doesn't mean you need to tear out the concrete. Centerville Foundation Pros uses polyurethane foam injection to raise driveways, patios, and walkways back to level through holes about the size of a dime, a faster and cleaner alternative to old-school mudjacking slurry.
Freeze-thaw cycles and expansive soil along the Wasatch Front erode the base under slabs over a few winters, which is why so many Centerville driveways and patios develop a dip near the garage or a low corner by the back door. Polyjacking fills that void and lifts the slab without adding the heavy wet weight that mudjacking does.
Materials
Materials and Methods for Concrete Lifting
We pick the lifting material based on slab size, soil condition, and how fast you need the surface back in use.
Polyurethane Foam
Expands beneath slabs to lift and stabilize concrete surfaces.
Injection Ports
Placed at calculated points to control exactly where and how much the slab rises.
Patch Compound
Fills the drilled holes and blends with the surrounding concrete color and texture.
Surface Sealant
Applied after patching to keep water out of the repaired slab and surrounding joints.
Leveling Gauge
Used on-site to track the lift in real time so the slab stops exactly where it should.
Bonding Agent
Improves adhesion between the new patch and the original concrete so repairs hold.

How Our Concrete Lifting Process Works
Step 1Surface Assessment
Measure how far the slab has settled and mark the low spots.
Step 2Drilling Access Holes
Dime-sized holes placed at calculated injection points.
Step 3Material Injection
Hydrophobic foam pumped under the slab, expanding to lift it.
Step 4Elevation Monitoring
Lift tracked continuously until the slab reaches the target height.
Step 5Hole Patching
Access holes filled and finished flush with the surrounding surface.
Step 6Final Inspection
Slab checked for level and stability before we leave.
What's included
What's Included with Concrete Lifting
Typically included: slab assessment, drilling, foam injection, hole patching, and a level check before we leave.
Optional: joint sealant on adjacent expansion joints, color-matched patch finish, additional slab sections in the same visit.
Customer prep: clear furniture or planters off the slab and note any cracks or low spots you've noticed so we can inspect them directly.

What Does a Concrete Lifting Cost in Centerville?
Cost depends on slab size, how many injection points it takes, and how far the slab has settled. Call for a free estimate and we'll measure the actual settlement before giving you a number.
| Project type | Typical range | What’s included |
|---|---|---|
| Small slab section | $300–$600 | a single step or short walkway segment. |
| Standard driveway or patio | $600–$1,800 | most residential slabs needing a few injection points. |
| Large or multi-section slabs | $1,800–$3,500+ | bigger driveways or patios settled in multiple spots. |
These are typical local ballparks — final cost depends on scope, materials, and site conditions. A free estimate gives you an accurate, itemized number for your home.

DIY vs Hiring a Pro for Concrete Lifting
| DIY | Hire a pro |
|---|---|
| Filling small surface cracks with concrete caulk to keep water out. | Lifting a sunken slab back to level, since this requires calculated injection pressure and real-time elevation tracking. |
| Monitoring a slight dip to see if it's getting worse season to season. | Any slab tied to a garage threshold, step, or drainage path, where getting the height wrong creates a new hazard. |

Concrete Lifting FAQs
How much does concrete lifting cost in Centerville?
Most residential jobs run $300 to $1,800 depending on slab size and how many injection points are needed. Larger or multi-section slabs can run higher.
Is polyurethane foam as strong as mudjacking?
And it's lighter. Polyurethane foam cures to a dense, load-bearing structure without adding the heavy wet weight that mudjacking slurry does, which means less chance of the soil underneath re-settling.
How long before I can use the slab again?
Foam cures in about 15 minutes, so most slabs are ready for foot and vehicle traffic within hours of the injection.
Do I need a permit to lift a slab?
Lifting an existing slab in place doesn't require a permit since you're not changing the structure or footprint.
Can every sunken slab be lifted, or does some concrete need replacement?
Most settled slabs can be lifted if the concrete itself is still structurally sound. Badly cracked or crumbling slabs may need replacement instead.
Will the drilled holes be visible after the repair?
The patch compound is color-matched as closely as possible, but a faint circle may be visible up close, similar to any concrete patch.
What causes a driveway to sink near the garage?
Soil erosion and settlement under the slab edge, often made worse by freeze-thaw cycles and runoff concentrating at that joint.
