Serving South Jordan and nearby communities.

A sunken slab doesn't need to be torn out. Herriman Foundation Pros performs polyurethane concrete lifting in South Jordan, raising settled driveways, patios, and walkways through dime-sized drill holes instead of a full slab replacement.

Fast-developed lots across South Jordan and Herriman sit on fill soil that compacts unevenly under heavy concrete slabs, which is why sunken sections show up near garages and walkways even on newer homes. Polyurethane foam injection fills the void under the slab and lifts it back into place the same day.

What's included

What's included

  • Typically included — surface assessment, access hole drilling, foam injection, elevation monitoring, hole patching.
  • Optional — joint resealing across the full slab, protective surface sealant.
  • Customer prep — move vehicles, planters, or furniture off the slab area before the crew arrives.

How it works

How our Concrete Lifting process works

  1. Surface Assessment photo
    Step 1

    Surface Assessment

    Uneven or sunken concrete areas are identified and measured.

  2. Drilling Access Holes photo
    Step 2

    Drilling Access Holes

    Small holes are drilled into the concrete to allow material injection.

  3. Material Injection photo
    Step 3

    Material Injection

    Expanding foam is injected beneath the slab to raise it evenly.

  4. Elevation Monitoring photo
    Step 4

    Elevation Monitoring

    Lift progress is measured to achieve the desired level.

  5. Hole Patching photo
    Step 5

    Hole Patching

    Access holes are filled and finished to match the surrounding surface.

  6. Final Inspection photo
    Step 6

    Final Inspection

    The lifted area is reviewed for levelness and stability.

Materials

Materials and methods for Concrete Lifting

Hydrophobic polyurethane foam holds up to Utah's freeze-thaw cycling far better than loose fill ever did, which is why it's replaced older lifting methods entirely.

  • Polyurethane Foam photo

    Polyurethane Foam

    Expands beneath slabs to lift and stabilize concrete surfaces without adding significant weight back onto the soil.

  • Injection Ports photo

    Injection Ports

    Allow controlled placement of lifting material under the slab so the lift happens evenly.

  • Patch Compound photo

    Patch Compound

    Fills drilled access holes for a smooth finish that blends with the existing concrete.

  • Surface Sealant photo

    Surface Sealant

    Protects the repaired area from moisture and staining after the patch cures.

  • Leveling Gauge photo

    Leveling Gauge

    Used to measure and confirm slab elevation during lifting, not guesswork.

  • Bonding Agent photo

    Bonding Agent

    Improves adhesion between new patch material and existing concrete so patches don't pop loose.

Codes & permits

Permits and codes for Concrete Lifting

No new structure is added during foam injection lifting, which is why most jobs skip the permit step, confirm with South Jordan or Herriman if your project involves broader concrete work.

FAQs

Concrete Lifting FAQs

How much does concrete lifting cost in South Jordan?

Cost depends on slab size, how much it's settled, and the number of injection points needed. A free estimate gives you an exact range.

Is concrete lifting cheaper than replacement?

Usually yes. Foam injection avoids demolition, disposal, and new concrete costs, and the slab is usable the same day.

How long does concrete lifting take?

Most jobs complete in a few hours, and the surface is usable the same day once the foam cures.

Do I need a permit for concrete lifting?

Foam injection on an existing slab usually doesn't require a permit. Full slab replacement often does.

Is DIY concrete lifting a good idea?

Not for anything beyond a tiny cosmetic fix. Even foam injection needs controlled pressure to lift a slab evenly.

Will a lifted slab sink again?

Properly filled voids hold well, though ongoing soil settlement nearby can eventually need a touch-up, especially on newer fill-soil lots.
