Is that sunken slab near your garage from a bad pour, or is the soil underneath still settling? On newer American Fork subdivisions built on fast-fill soil, it's usually the soil. American Fork Foundation Pros uses polyjacking, injecting hydrophobic polyurethane foam under the slab, to lift it back to grade without tearing it out.
This page is the hub for slab lifting work: driveways, patios, and sidewalks each have their own symptom pattern, but the method is the same mechanism. Foam expands under the slab, fills the void left by settled soil, and raises the concrete back level.
What's included
What's included
Typically included: surface assessment, access hole drilling, foam injection, elevation monitoring, hole patching. Optional: joint resealing, surface sealant application after lifting. Customer prep: clear the slab area of furniture, vehicles, or planters before the crew arrives.

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
Foam over mudjacking mix for one reason: weight. Adding more weight to already-settling fill soil just invites the next sink.
Polyurethane Foam
expands beneath slabs to lift without adding mass, built to hold through freeze-thaw cycling.
Injection Ports
allow controlled, even placement of foam under the slab.
Patch Compound
fills drilled access holes for a smooth finish.
Surface Sealant
protects the repaired area from moisture and staining.
Leveling Gauge
measures and confirms slab elevation during the lift.
Bonding Agent
improves adhesion between patch material and the existing slab.

What does a Concrete Lifting cost in American Fork?
Cost comes down to slab size and how far it's sunk, not a flat per-square-foot rate. Foam lifting typically runs 50-80% less than tear-out and replacement. A free estimate gives the real number for your slab.
| Project type | Typical range | What’s included |
|---|---|---|
| Small sidewalk panel | $300–$800, | single panel lift. |
| Standard driveway section | $1,000–$3,000, | depending on square footage. |
| Patio lifting | $800–$2,500, | depending on settled area. |
| Full driveway or large slab | $2,500–$6,000, | multiple sunken sections. |
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 |
|---|---|
| Filling small surface cracks with basic concrete caulk | Any actual lifting, since uneven DIY foam injection can crack the slab further without proper pressure control |
| Monitoring a slight slab settle over a season before deciding to act | Slabs with multiple sunken sections needing coordinated lift |
| — | Driveways carrying vehicle loads, where lift height has to be precise |

FAQs
Concrete Lifting FAQs
What's the difference between polyjacking and mudjacking?
Polyjacking injects lightweight polyurethane foam that expands and cures fast without adding weight to the soil. Mudjacking uses a heavier cement-based slurry, which can accelerate settling on fill soil and takes longer to cure.
How much does it cost to lift a sunken driveway slab?
Most driveway sections run $1,000 to $3,000 depending on size and sink depth. A free estimate narrows that down.
Is new construction settling normal?
Some settling is expected in the first year or two, especially on fast-fill subdivision lots. Rapid or uneven settling beyond that is worth getting checked.
