A sunken patio slab doesn't fix itself, and sweeping extra sand into the gap only hides the problem for a season. Provo Foundation Pros lifts settled patio sections with polyurethane foam injected through small drill holes, which works well on the sandy-clay mix common in Wasatch bench soil without adding the dead weight that caused the settling in the first place.
Most patio settling here traces back to poor compaction under the original pour or water working its way under the slab edge after spring runoff. Foam injection raises the section back to grade in hours, not days, and it doesn't disturb the landscaping around it.

Patio Lifting FAQs
How much does patio lifting cost in Provo?
Most single-section lifts run $300–$700. A full patio relevel with multiple slabs typically runs $800–$2,500 depending on access and the amount of lift needed.
How long does patio lifting take?
A standard patio lift is usually done in a few hours. Foam sets fast enough to walk on the same day.
Will the holes be visible after the work is done?
Access holes are dime-sized and get patched with a matching compound. They're noticeable up close but blend into the surface from a few feet away.
Is patio lifting cheaper than replacing the slab?
Yes, . Foam injection runs a fraction of tear-out and repour costs since there's no demolition or new concrete to pour.
Can I DIY patio lifting?
Sealing small cracks is fine on your own. Actually lifting a sunken slab needs injection equipment and pressure control most homeowners don't have, and a bad attempt can make drainage worse.
What causes a patio to sink in the first place?
Poor compaction under the original pour or soil erosion from water runoff are the two most common causes we see on Provo properties.
Materials
Materials and Methods for Patio Lifting
Patio lifting on Wasatch bench soil needs a lightweight material that won't add to the compaction problem that likely caused the settling.
Polyurethane Foam
Lifts patio slabs with minimal disruption to surrounding landscaping, important when patios sit close to mature trees or garden beds.
Patch Compound
Fills and finishes drilled access holes smoothly so the surface reads consistent after the lift.
Joint Filler
Restores expansion joints after the lifting process, keeping water from re-entering at the seam.
Surface Sealant
Guards the patio against moisture and surface wear through Utah's freeze-thaw winters.
Leveling Tools
Used to verify consistent elevation across the patio during injection.
Bonding Agent
Enhances adhesion between patch material and existing concrete for a lasting repair.
