Is polyurethane foam lifting cheaper than replacing a slab? Usually, yes, and for most sunken concrete it's the better fix anyway. Concrete lifting raises a settled slab by injecting expanding polyurethane foam beneath it through dime-sized drill holes, no jackhammers and no tear-out, which matters when a driveway, patio, or walkway has sunk but the concrete itself is still in good shape.
Provo Foundation Pros uses polyjacking instead of older mudjacking methods, since the lightweight foam won't add extra weight to soil that's already shifting, and it cures fast enough to walk on the same day. It's a different service from structural foundation piering, this is about leveling exterior concrete, not supporting the house itself.
What's included
What's Included with Concrete Lifting

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 beneath the slab to lift and stabilize it without adding weight to unstable soil.
Injection Ports
Allow controlled, incremental placement of foam through dime-sized access points.
Patch Compound
Fills drilled access holes for a finish that blends with the surrounding slab.
Surface Sealant
Protects the repaired area from moisture staining and freeze-thaw cracking.
Leveling Gauge
Measures and confirms slab elevation throughout the lift to avoid overcorrecting.
Bonding Agent
Improves adhesion between new patch material and the original concrete.

DIY vs pro
DIY vs Hiring a Pro for Concrete Lifting
| DIY | Hire a pro |
|---|---|
| Filling a minor surface crack with concrete caulk as cosmetic maintenance | A noticeable trip hazard where one slab panel sits higher or lower than its neighbor |
| Monitoring a slightly uneven slab edge to see if it worsens | A slab that's sunk enough to pool water against the foundation |
| — | Any lifting work, since foam injection requires controlled equipment to avoid over-lifting |

FAQs
Concrete Lifting FAQs
Is polyurethane foam lifting cheaper than replacing a slab?
Yes. Foam injection costs a fraction of tear-out and replacement since it reuses the existing concrete instead of demolishing and repouring it.
How much does concrete lifting cost in Provo?
Small sections run $400-$900. A standard driveway or patio lift runs $1,200-$3,500, and larger jobs with multiple settled areas run $3,500-$7,000.
How long does concrete lifting take?
Most jobs finish in a few hours and the slab can be walked on or driven on the same day.
Do I need a permit for concrete lifting?
Standard driveway, patio, or sidewalk lifting usually doesn't need a permit. Check with your city if the slab supports a structural addition.
Why is my driveway sinking near the garage?
Soil compaction and erosion under the slab, often worsened by poor drainage near the garage, are the most common causes of localized sinking in that spot.
Is DIY concrete lifting a good idea?
No. Foam injection requires controlled pressure and lift monitoring. Doing it without the right equipment risks uneven lifting or cracking the slab further.
