Concrete Lifting in Orem, UT
Concrete lifting in Orem levels sunken driveways, patios, and sidewalks with polyurethane foam injection. Free estimates, fast turnaround.
Serving Orem and nearby communities.
Concrete lifting is the umbrella method behind our driveway, patio, and sidewalk leveling work. All of it uses polyurethane foam injection: drill small holes, pump foam under the slab, lift it back to grade. Orem's bench and valley soil mixes expansive clay with sandy fill. That combination moves seasonally enough that driveways, patios, and walkways settle unevenly near the house and garage.
Orem Foundation Pros drills dime-sized holes into the settled panel, injects hydrophobic polyurethane foam underneath, and lifts the slab back to grade in a single visit for most jobs. No digging out the old slab. No tear-out.

How our Concrete Lifting process works
Step 1Surface Assessment
Uneven or sunken concrete areas are identified and measured.
Step 2Drilling Access Holes
Small holes are drilled into the concrete to allow material injection.
Step 3Material Injection
Expanding foam is injected beneath the slab to raise it evenly.
Step 4Elevation Monitoring
Lift progress is measured to achieve the desired level.
Step 5Hole Patching
Access holes are filled and finished to match the surrounding surface.
Step 6Final Inspection
The lifted area is reviewed for levelness and stability.
Materials
Materials and methods for Concrete Lifting
Polyurethane Foam
Expands under the slab within minutes and lifts it back to grade. A good fit for Orem's shifting bench soil since it adds no slab-dead weight.
Injection Ports
Give us control over exactly where lift pressure goes, so one corner of a panel doesn't rise faster than another.
Patch Compound
Finishes the drilled holes flush with the surrounding concrete so the repair isn't visible once it's done.
Surface Sealant
Keeps water from working into the patched holes during freeze-thaw cycles.
Leveling Gauge
Confirms the slab actually matches grade before we call the job finished.
Bonding Agent
Helps the patch material grip the existing slab edge instead of popping loose later.

What does concrete lifting cost in Orem?
Cost scales with slab size and how far it's settled. Not a flat per-job price. Ask for a free estimate so we can measure the actual settlement before quoting.
| Project type | Typical range | What’s included |
|---|---|---|
| Single small panel | $300–$600 | a sidewalk section or small patio slab. |
| Driveway panel or two | $600–$1,500 | localized sinking near a garage or walkway. |
| Full driveway or large patio | $1,500–$4,000 | multiple panels needing a coordinated lift. |
| Slope correction add-on | $200–$500 | redirecting drainage away from the foundation. |
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.

Permits and codes for Concrete Lifting
Scope can shift if a slab is beyond repair and needs replacement instead. Confirm with the city if you're not sure which category your job falls under.
| Typically needs a permit | Often no permit |
|---|---|
| Full slab replacement when lifting isn't a viable option | Foam injection lifting of an existing slab |
| — | since no new structure is added |
| — | Patching and resealing drilled access holes |

FAQs
Concrete Lifting FAQs
Is polyurethane foam lifting as good as mudjacking or full replacement?
Foam cures in hours and skips the heavy slurry weight old-style mudjacking adds, which matters on shifting bench soil. It goes in through a few small holes instead of a full tear-out.
Why does my driveway keep sinking near the garage?
Freeze-thaw compaction under the slab edge near the garage apron is a common cause around Orem. It tends to recur in the same spot year over year until the void underneath gets filled.
How long until I can drive or walk on the lifted area?
Most foam injections are ready for normal use within a few hours of the patch going in.
Does lifting fix the cause of the settlement or just the symptom?
Foam fills the void under the slab so it has support again. If the soil underneath keeps shifting seasonally, a follow-up lift years later is possible.
Is this different from driveway, patio, or sidewalk lifting pages?
Those pages cover the same foam injection method applied to that specific surface. This page is the general overview if you're not sure which one fits your situation.
