Roy Foundation Pros
Concrete Lifting in Roy, UT
Concrete lifting in Roy, UT uses polyurethane foam injection to raise sunken slabs in hours, not days, free estimates available.
Serving Roy and nearby communities.
A sunken slab doesn't need to be torn out and replaced. Roy Foundation Pros lifts settled concrete with polyurethane foam injected through dime-sized holes, raising the slab back to level while the rest of the surface stays untouched. This method, often called polyjacking, works on driveways, patios, sidewalks, and garage floors anywhere soil compaction has let one section of concrete drop relative to the rest.
Roy's freeze-thaw winters and clay-sandy soil mix are common culprits behind slab settlement, which is why concrete lifting requests pick up every spring.
Materials
Materials and Methods for Concrete Lifting
The lifting material and injection pattern depend on slab size and how far it needs to rise.
Polyurethane Foam
Expands beneath slabs to lift and stabilize concrete surfaces without adding excess weight to the soil below.
Injection Ports
Allow controlled placement of lifting material under the slab for an even rise.
Patch Compound
Fills drilled access holes for a smooth finish matching the surrounding concrete.
Surface Sealant
Protects the repaired area from moisture and staining after the lift is complete.
Leveling Gauge
Used to measure and confirm slab elevation during lifting for an accurate result.
Bonding Agent
Improves adhesion between new patch material and existing concrete.

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.

DIY vs Hiring a Pro for Concrete Lifting
| DIY | Hire a pro |
|---|---|
| Filling small surface pits with patch compound | Any slab settled more than an inch, which needs even foam distribution to lift safely |
| Monitoring a minor settlement to see if it's progressing | Settlement near a foundation wall, which may signal a bigger structural issue |
| — | Slabs with cracking in addition to settlement |

Concrete Lifting FAQs
What's the difference between concrete lifting and mudjacking?
Concrete lifting with polyurethane foam is lighter, cures faster, and doesn't add the heavy weight that older mudjacking methods did, which can actually contribute to further settlement.
How much does concrete lifting cost compared to replacement?
Lifting typically costs a fraction of full slab replacement since there's no demolition or new concrete pour involved.
How long does the foam take to cure?
The foam itself sets within minutes, and most slabs can handle foot traffic within a few hours, with full cure by the next day.
Can concrete lifting fix a cracked slab too?
Lifting addresses the level, but a cracked slab may need crack injection or patching in addition to the lift.
Is concrete lifting permanent?
A properly installed foam lift holds for years since the foam doesn't compress or wash out the way loose soil fill does.
What types of concrete can be lifted this way?
Driveways, patios, sidewalks, garage floors, and pool decks are all common candidates for polyurethane concrete lifting.
