Concrete Lifting in Murray, UT
Concrete lifting in Murray, UT using polyjacking and PolyLevel foam to level sunken driveways, patios, and sidewalks. Free estimates.
Serving Murray and nearby communities.
A sunken driveway slab or pooling patio doesn't need to be torn out and replaced. Concrete lifting uses polyjacking, injecting hydrophobic polyurethane foam through dime-sized drill holes, to raise sunken slabs back to level in hours instead of days. Murray's freeze-thaw cycling sinks exterior slabs the same way it moves basement walls, which is why driveways near garages and patio corners settle unevenly year after year.
Murray Foundation Pros treats this as the hub service covering driveways, patios, and sidewalks. Each has its own page below, but the method and materials are the same across all three.

How our Concrete Lifting process works
Step 1Surface Assessment
Identify and measure uneven or sunken concrete areas.
Step 2Drilling Access Holes
Drill small holes into the concrete to allow injection.
Step 3Material Injection
Inject expanding foam beneath the slab to raise it evenly.
Step 4Elevation Monitoring
Measure lift progress to reach the target level.
Step 5Hole Patching
Fill and finish access holes to match the surrounding surface.
Step 6Final Inspection
Review the lifted area for levelness and stability.
Materials
Materials and methods for Concrete Lifting
Polyurethane Foam
Expands beneath the slab to lift it, lightweight enough not to re-stress settled soil.
Injection Ports
Allow controlled placement so the slab rises evenly instead of tilting.
Patch Compound
Fills drilled access holes for a smooth finish.
Surface Sealant
Protects the repaired area from moisture and staining through Murray's winters.
Leveling Gauge
Measures and confirms slab elevation during the lift.
Bonding Agent
Improves adhesion between new patch material and the existing concrete.

Concrete Lifting FAQs
How much does concrete lifting cost in Murray?
Pricing depends on slab type and size. Small sections run $300-$800, while a full driveway lift can run $1,200-$4,000.
Is polyurethane foam lifting cheaper than mudjacking or replacement?
Polyjacking is typically 50-80% cheaper than full tear-out and replacement, and the foam is lighter than traditional mudjacking mix, putting less load on already-settled soil.
How long does concrete lifting take?
Most residential slabs are lifted and usable the same day, often within a few hours of injection.
Do I need a permit for concrete lifting?
Private driveways and patios usually don't need one. Sidewalk work in the public right-of-way may require notice to Murray City.
Can I lift a sunken slab myself?
No. Injection requires pressure-controlled equipment to raise the slab evenly without cracking it further.
What's the difference between polyjacking and mudjacking?
Polyjacking uses lightweight expanding foam through small holes. Mudjacking uses a heavier cement-based slurry through larger holes and takes longer to cure.
Will the lift hold permanently?
The foam itself doesn't break down, but underlying soil conditions can shift again over many years just like the original settling did.
