Patio Lifting in Roy, UT
Patio lifting in Roy, UT using polyurethane foam to raise settled slabs, same-day results and a free estimate.
Serving Roy and nearby communities.
A settled patio slab is usually soil compaction under one corner, not a crack in the concrete itself. Roy Foundation Pros lifts sunken patio sections with polyurethane foam injected through dime-sized holes, restoring a level surface without tearing out the slab. The freeze-thaw cycle that moves Roy's clay and sandy soils every spring is the same mechanism that settles patios over time, especially slabs poured without deep compacted base.
Most patio lifting jobs finish in a single visit, and the foam cures fast enough to walk on the same day.
Materials
Materials and Methods for Patio Lifting
Roy Foundation Pros matches the lifting material to slab size and soil condition underneath.
Polyurethane Foam
Lifts patio slabs with minimal disruption to surrounding landscaping, a better fit for Roy yards than full tear-out.
Patch Compound
Fills and finishes drilled access holes smoothly so the repair blends into the existing slab.
Joint Filler
Restores expansion joints after the lifting process, important given how much Roy slabs shift seasonally.
Surface Sealant
Guards the patio against moisture and surface wear through winter freeze-thaw.
Leveling Tools
Used to verify consistent elevation across the patio before we call the job done.
Bonding Agent
Enhances adhesion between patch material and existing concrete for a durable repair.

Patio Lifting FAQs
What causes a patio slab to sink?
Soil compaction under the slab, often from poor base prep or freeze-thaw movement, lets one section settle lower than the rest.
How much does patio lifting cost?
Most patio lifting jobs run a few hundred to around a thousand dollars depending on slab size and how far it needs to rise. We give exact numbers after a site visit.
Will the foam injection damage my patio?
The access holes are dime-sized and get patched to blend with the surrounding concrete.
Can patio lifting fix a cracked slab too?
Lifting corrects the level, but a cracked slab may still need crack injection or a patch repair alongside the lift.
How long until I can use the patio again?
Most patios can handle foot traffic within hours, with full cure for heavy furniture by the next day.
Is patio lifting cheaper than replacement?
Lifting an existing slab typically costs a fraction of tearing out and repouring new concrete.
