Concrete Lifting in Syracuse, UT
Polyjacking and polyurethane concrete lifting in Syracuse, UT. Dime-sized holes, same-day cure, free estimates on sunken slabs.
Serving Syracuse and nearby communities.
Sunken slabs don't fix themselves, and they don't stay the same size either. Once a void opens under a driveway, patio, or walkway slab in Syracuse, the edge keeps settling a little more every freeze-thaw cycle until something trips or cracks. Syracuse Foundation Pros uses polyjacking, hydrophobic polyurethane foam injected through dime-sized drill holes, to fill that void and lift the slab back to grade without tearing out the concrete.
Syracuse's benchland soil mix (sandy fill over clay in a lot of newer subdivisions) compacts unevenly once irrigation and seasonal moisture get under a slab edge. That's the usual cause of the dip you're seeing. We confirm it's a void issue and not a structural foundation problem before we quote the job, and we point you to Foundation Repair or Wall Stabilization instead if it turns out to be the latter.
Materials
Materials and methods for Concrete Lifting
Polyjacking is the whole method here, but the supporting materials matter just as much for a clean, long-lasting repair.
Polyurethane Foam
Expands beneath the slab within minutes, filling the void and lifting the concrete evenly without adding excess weight back onto already-soft soil.
Injection Ports
Placed at calculated intervals so the foam spreads under the full slab instead of just mounding under one hole.
Patch Compound
Fills the drilled access points flush with the surrounding surface once the lift is confirmed level.
Surface Sealant
Applied over patched holes and joints to keep spring runoff and sprinkler water from re-softening the base soil.
Leveling Gauge
Used throughout the injection to track exact elevation change, so we stop lifting the moment the slab's level, not a hair past it.
Bonding Agent
Improves adhesion between the new patch and the original concrete so the repair doesn't flake or chip at the edges.

How our Concrete Lifting process works
Step 1Surface Assessment
Uneven or sunken concrete areas are identified and measured for lift amount.
Step 2Drilling Access Holes
Small holes are drilled into the concrete to reach the void below.
Step 3Material Injection
Expanding foam is pumped beneath the slab to raise it evenly.
Step 4Elevation Monitoring
Lift progress is measured continuously to hit the target grade.
Step 5Hole Patching
Access holes are filled and finished to match the surrounding surface.
Step 6Final Inspection
The lifted area is reviewed for levelness, drainage slope, and stability.
Timeline
How long does concrete lifting take?
Most lifting jobs are a one-visit fix, not a multi-day project.
- 01
Consult
same daywe walk the slab and mark low spots.
- 02
Drilling and injection
1–3 hoursdepending on slab size and number of void areas.
- 03
Cure time
about 15 minutes before the surface can bear foot traffic.
- 04
Drivable/usable
same dayfoam reaches working strength fast.

What does concrete lifting cost in Syracuse?
Price tracks slab size, void depth, and how many separate low spots need foam. A free estimate gets you exact numbers; here's the general range. Call for a free estimate before committing to a tear-out quote from someone else, lifting is almost always the cheaper fix.
| Project type | Typical range | What’s included |
|---|---|---|
| Small single-panel lift | $300–$700 | one sunken slab section with a shallow void. |
| Multi-panel driveway or patio section | $700–$2,000 | several connected panels lifted in one visit. |
| Large or deep-void jobs | $2,000–$4,500 | bigger slabs or voids needing more foam volume and injection points. |
| Combined slope correction | $200–$600 | Add when drainage direction also needs adjusting. |
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 |
|---|---|
| Topping a shallow dip with a bag of self-leveling concrete mix can mask a very minor cosmetic low spot. | A real void under the slab won't go away with surface leveler, the slab keeps settling because the ground underneath is still hollow. |
| Fine for a small trip hazard under a quarter inch with no visible void underneath. | Polyjacking fills that void directly, which is the only way to stop the sinking instead of just hiding it for a season. |

Call Syracuse Foundation Pros for a free estimate before a small dip turns into a crack or a fall risk.
- A slab edge has dropped more than half an inch compared to the neighboring panel.
- Water pools on a section of driveway or patio that used to drain fine.
- You notice a gap opening up between the slab and the foundation or garage threshold.
- A sidewalk or patio panel has become a trip hazard.

FAQs
Concrete Lifting FAQs
What's the difference between polyjacking and mudjacking?
Polyjacking uses lightweight polyurethane foam that cures in minutes and doesn't add much extra weight to the soil below. Mudjacking uses a heavier cement slurry that takes longer to cure and can add stress back onto the same soft soil that caused the sinking in the first place. Foam holds up better through Utah's freeze-thaw cycles.
How much does concrete lifting cost in Syracuse?
Most single-panel jobs run $300-$700, with multi-panel driveway or patio sections landing between $700 and $2,000. Exact cost depends on slab size and void depth, which is why we quote after seeing the site.
How long before I can drive or walk on a lifted slab?
Polyurethane foam reaches working strength in about 15 minutes, so the area is usually usable the same day once patching is done.
Will lifting fix the crack in my slab too?
Lifting levels the slab but doesn't seal existing cracks. We can patch minor cracks during the same visit, or recommend a separate crack repair pass for bigger ones.
Is concrete lifting a permanent fix?
It's permanent as long as the underlying soil doesn't develop a new void. Good surface drainage after the lift helps keep that from happening again.
Can you lift concrete next to my house without damaging the foundation?
Access holes are small and placed carefully, and injection pressure is controlled so it doesn't push against foundation walls.
What if my slab has rebar or wire mesh in it?
That's normal and doesn't stop the process, injection ports are placed between reinforcement without cutting into it.
