Utah Concrete Lifting offers expert porch lifting and leveling services throughout Weber and Davis County to fix sunken, sloped, or settling porch slabs. We raise and re-level concrete porches to improve safety, eliminate structural gaps, and enhance curb appeal—all without the cost or disruption of full replacement. Our techniques restore your porch to its original elevation quickly and effectively.
Why Porches Sink Over Time
Utah’s climate and soil conditions are tough on concrete. Over the years, porches can settle or shift due to a variety of factors:
- Soil erosion from rainwater runoff or poor drainage
- Freeze-thaw cycles that cause ground movement
- Improper soil compaction beneath the slab
- Heavy foot traffic and seasonal furniture use
- Organic soil decomposition or tree root intrusion
If left unaddressed, a sinking porch can lead to dangerous trip hazards and compromise the connection between your home’s entrance and the ground.
Signs You Need Porch Leveling
Uneven or sinking porches aren’t just cosmetic problems—they often signal deeper issues. Call us if you notice:
- Gaps between porch slab and home foundation
- Cracked, broken, or tilting porch steps
- Sloped surfaces causing water to run toward your home
- Uneven thresholds or hard-to-open doors
- Tripping hazards when entering or exiting your home
The sooner we lift the slab, the easier it is to correct the problem before further cracking or separation occurs.
Our Porch Lifting and Leveling Methods
We evaluate the underlying cause of porch settling and apply the best lifting technique for lasting results:
Polyurethane Foam Injection
This clean, efficient process uses expanding polyurethane foam to fill voids and lift slabs with precision—ideal for porches near the home.
Polylevel Injection
Our polylevel injection technique delivers pinpoint accuracy and fast cure times with minimal disruption.
Mud Jacking
For heavier or older porches, we may use mud jacking to pump a slurry mixture beneath the concrete and raise it into place.
We choose the method that best suits your soil conditions, porch construction, and budget.
Porch Lifting vs. Porch Replacement
| Feature | Lifting & Leveling | Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | Lower – no demolition or new materials | Higher – includes full rebuild |
| Time | Completed in hours | May take several days or longer |
| Property Disruption | Minimal – no tear-out needed | Major excavation and debris |
| Longevity | Long-lasting with stable soil | Depends on proper site preparation |
| Environmental Impact | Minimal waste and emissions | High concrete and material waste |
Lifting is the faster, more affordable solution that restores both function and appearance without the downtime.

In many cases, porch settlement is connected to other concrete issues around the property. We often provide:
- Concrete repair for cracks or crumbling surfaces
- Driveway lifting to align entry points
