A raised sidewalk slab is a liability problem before it's ever a cosmetic one. Herriman Foundation Pros lifts sunken and heaved sidewalk sections in South Jordan with polyurethane foam injection, matching slab height to its neighbors instead of grinding down the edge or tearing out concrete.
We drill dime-sized holes, pump in hydrophobic foam that won't break down if it gets wet, and patch the holes to blend with the existing walk. Most jobs are done and safe to walk on the same day.

How our Sidewalk Lifting process works
Step 1Sidewalk Inspection
Trip hazards and uneven slabs are identified along the walkway.
Step 2Access Hole Drilling
Small entry points are drilled into the affected slab sections.
Step 3Foam Injection
Material is injected to raise the sidewalk to a safe level.
Step 4Height Matching
Adjacent slabs are aligned to eliminate tripping hazards.
Step 5Hole Patching
Access points are sealed to restore a smooth surface.
Step 6Final Safety Check
The sidewalk is reviewed to confirm proper alignment and safety.
Materials
Materials and methods for Sidewalk Lifting
South Jordan's fast-graded subdivision lots settle unevenly under walkways, which is why slab-to-slab height matching matters as much as the lift itself.
Polyurethane Foam
Raises sidewalk slabs quickly with minimal curing time, holding up even if the ground stays damp from spring runoff.
Patch Mix
Fills access holes to restore a flush surface finish that matches the surrounding concrete texture.
Joint Sealant
Reseals joints between slabs after lifting so soil and water can't work back under the repair.
Surface Protectant
Helps guard repaired areas from weather exposure through winter freeze-thaw cycles.
Alignment Gauge
Used to measure slab height differences during the process so adjacent sections end up flush.
Bonding Primer
Improves patch material adhesion to original concrete so the patch doesn't pop loose later.

FAQs
Sidewalk Lifting FAQs
How much does sidewalk lifting cost in South Jordan?
Most single-slab lifts run a few hundred dollars. A full walkway with several sunken sections costs more depending on access holes needed. A free estimate gives you an exact number for your walkway.
How long does sidewalk lifting take?
Most jobs finish in a few hours and the walkway is safe to use the same day once the patches set.
Is sidewalk lifting better than replacement?
For a slab that's structurally sound but sitting at the wrong height, lifting is faster and cheaper than tearing out and repouring concrete.
Will the lifted sidewalk sink again?
A properly injected void under the slab holds, but ongoing soil movement nearby can eventually need a touch-up, especially on freshly-graded lots.
Do I need a permit for sidewalk lifting?
Private walkway lifting usually doesn't need a permit. Public right-of-way sidewalk work often does. Check with your city first.
Can I lift a sidewalk myself?
DIY foam kits exist, but uneven injection pressure can leave the slab lower on one side than the other. Professional equipment controls the lift more precisely.
