Materials
Materials:
Is your backyard patio pooling water against the house after every rain? That's usually a settled slab sloping the wrong direction, not a drainage system problem. Orem's clay-sand bench soil settles unevenly under patio slabs over time, creating low spots right where you don't want standing water: near the foundation.
Orem Foundation Pros lifts the sunken panels with polyurethane foam injection and corrects the slope back toward the yard, away from the house, in the same visit.

FAQs
Patio Lifting FAQs
What's causing water to pool on my patio after it rains?
A settled panel sloping toward the house instead of away from it is the usual cause, often from uneven soil compaction under the slab over time.
Is foam lifting as durable as mudjacking or full replacement?
Yes for most patios. Foam cures fast, weighs less than old-style slurry fill, and holds up well under normal outdoor use at a fraction of replacement cost.
How long until I can use the patio again?
Most patios are usable again within a few hours of the foam curing.
Will this fix the pooling permanently?
Lifting and re-sloping corrects the immediate problem. If the underlying soil keeps settling seasonally, a follow-up lift years down the road isn't unusual, but it's a much smaller job than replacement.
Does this affect my landscaping?
The drilled access holes are dime-sized and placed to avoid disturbing nearby plantings.
