Serving Lindon and nearby communities.

A sunken patio slab doesn't just look bad, it often redirects water back toward the house instead of away from it. Lindon Foundation Pros uses polyurethane foam injection to raise settled patio sections and restore the slope that should carry rain and snowmelt away from the foundation. On bench-lot properties in Lindon, where grading can vary from one yard to the next, a patio that's pitched the wrong way is a common contributor to basement dampness.

The process is quick and doesn't disturb your landscaping. We drill small holes into the low sections, inject foam until the slab lifts and levels out, then patch the holes so the surface blends with the surrounding concrete.

Materials

Materials and Methods for Patio Lifting

Patio slabs settle differently than driveways since they often sit closer to the foundation wall, so getting the pitch right matters as much as getting the slab level.

FAQs

Patio Lifting FAQs

How much does patio lifting cost in Lindon?

Costs depend on slab size and how many sunken sections need foam, typically similar in range to driveway lifting per panel.

How long does patio lifting take?

Most patios are lifted and patched in a single visit, usually a few hours.

Does patio lifting fix water pooling near the house?

When the cause is a settled slab pitched the wrong way, lifting and re-pitching it solves the drainage problem at the source.

Is foam injection safe for patios near a basement wall?

The foam is placed in controlled amounts and doesn't add significant load to the soil near the foundation.

Can I lift a patio myself?

Rental foam kits exist, but getting even lift and correct slope without professional equipment is difficult, and a bad lift can make drainage worse.

Do I need a permit to lift an existing patio?

Usually not, since you're restoring an existing slab rather than building new. Confirm with Utah County if your project also involves expansion.
