Our process is fast, non-invasive, and far more affordable than replacement.
What Causes Patio Settling?
Over time, patios can shift or sink due to changes in the soil underneath. Utah’s unique soil conditions and seasonal climate fluctuations often lead to slab instability. Common causes include:
- Poor soil compaction during original construction
- Water runoff or irrigation causing erosion
- Freeze-thaw cycles that expand and contract the soil
- Settling over time due to aging concrete or heavy use
- Organic material decomposition beneath the slab
These issues create low spots, cracks, and sloping surfaces that can compromise safety and appearance.
Signs Your Patio Needs Lifting or Leveling
Keep an eye out for these common signs of a sunken patio:
- Standing water or poor drainage near your home
- Cracks or separations between patio sections
- Gaps between patio edges and home foundation
- Uneven surfaces that pose a tripping risk
- Patio furniture sitting unevenly or wobbling
Catching these signs early allows us to lift and level your patio before further damage occurs.
Our Patio Lifting and Leveling Methods
We tailor each patio repair project based on your specific conditions, using the most effective and efficient solution:
Mud Jacking
An economical option where a cement-based slurry is pumped beneath the slab to raise it. Learn more about mud jacking in Utah.
Polyurethane Foam Injection
Ideal for patios with delicate landscaping, polyurethane foam lifting uses lightweight, fast-expanding foam to lift slabs with minimal disruption.
Polylevel Injection
Our advanced polylevel injection system provides precision lifting for patios that require exact leveling and long-lasting results.
