How Much Does Concrete Lifting Cost in Utah? (2026 Price Guide)

Concrete lifting prices at a glance

• Typical sidewalk: $300 to $1,200 (length and other factors)

• Driveway panel: $300 to $800 (panel size and how much it needs to be lifted)

• Steps, patios, garage floors, pool decks, RV pads: Depends on the job, so we give a free estimate (based on size, access, foam needed)

• Commercial jobs: Depends on the job, so we give a free estimate (based on size, access, foam needed, scheduling)

• Small jobs (one panel, one trip hazard): No minimum job charge

• Remote locations: A fuel surcharge can apply (distance from our area)

These are real prices from our own work in Utah County, not national averages. Your exact price comes from a free on-site estimate.

What affects the cost of concrete lifting?

No two slabs are the same, which is why we give price ranges instead of a single number. Here's what moves the price up or down:

• Slab size. A bigger slab needs more foam and more injection points than a small one.

• How far it needs to lift. A panel that dropped half an inch takes less work and material than one that sank a couple of inches.

• How much empty space is underneath. Concrete often sinks because the soil under it washed out or settled, leaving a gap (a "void"). We fill that void with foam before the slab starts to rise. Bigger voids take more foam, and foam is a big part of the cost.

• Access. Slabs that are easy to reach go faster. Tight spots, like behind a fence, under a deck, or in a narrow side yard, can take more time.

• Number of slabs. More slabs means more work and more foam. If you have several problem spots, we can look at all of them during one free estimate.

• Location. We serve all of Utah County. A fuel surcharge can apply for remote jobs farther out.

Is there a minimum charge for small jobs?

No. There is no minimum job charge. If you have one sunken sidewalk square or a single trip hazard by the front porch, we're glad to fix it. Small jobs are often the most important ones, since one raised edge is all it takes for someone to trip.

Is concrete lifting worth it compared to replacement?

For most sunken slabs, yes. Polyurethane foam lifting typically costs 50% to 80% less than tearing out and replacing the concrete. You also skip:

• Jackhammering, hauling away old concrete, and pouring new

• Days or weeks of waiting before you can drive on new concrete

• Torn-up lawn and landscaping from heavy equipment

With foam lifting, we drill small holes (about 3/8 inch, roughly the size of a dime), inject the foam, and patch the holes. The foam cures in 15 to 30 minutes, so you can use your concrete almost right away.

Lifting also helps the rest of your property. A level driveway and sidewalk look better, remove trip hazards, make snow shoveling easier, and stop water from pooling or running toward your house.

What's included in the price?

When you hire Utah Concrete Lifting & Repair, your price covers:

• A free on-site estimate. No pressure, no obligation.

• Drilling small 3/8-inch holes in the slab.

• High-density polyurethane foam injected under the slab to fill voids and lift it back into place.

• Patching the holes when we're done.

• A walk-through with you to review the work.

• Our 3-year warranty. If a slab we lifted settles more than 1/4 inch within three years, we come back and lift it again (a fuel fee may apply).

Why does concrete sink in Utah?

Most sunken concrete in Utah County comes down to what's happening in the soil underneath:

• Freeze-thaw cycles. Water gets under the slab, freezes, and expands. When it thaws, it leaves gaps, and the concrete settles into them.

• Clay soils. Many neighborhoods in Lehi, American Fork, and Saratoga Springs sit on clay that swells when wet and shrinks when dry. That constant movement makes slabs shift and sink.

• Bench soils. Homes on the Provo and Spanish Fork benches often sit on silty soil that can wash out or collapse when it gets soaked.

• Drainage problems. Downspouts that empty next to the slab, leaky or overspraying sprinklers, and poor grading all send water under your concrete, where it carries soil away.

If drainage is part of the problem, we'll point it out. Fixing a downspout or sprinkler is cheap, and it helps your lifted concrete stay where it belongs.

Why do we use polyurethane foam instead of mudjacking?

Mudjacking pumps a heavy cement slurry under the slab. That slurry weighs over 100 pounds per cubic foot, which adds a lot of weight to soil that's already struggling. The polyurethane foam we use weighs only about 2 to 4 pounds per cubic foot, so it lifts the slab without overloading the ground.

The foam is also 100% hydrophobic, meaning it repels water. It won't wash out with spring runoff or a broken sprinkler line. And the holes are small: about 3/8 inch.

When is concrete lifting not the right fix?

Lifting works best on slabs that are still in one piece (or in a few solid pieces) and have simply sunk or tilted. It's not the right fix when:

• The concrete is crumbling, flaking apart, or badly broken into many small pieces

• The slab is so damaged that lifting it wouldn't give you a solid, usable surface

In those cases, replacement is usually the better choice, and we'll tell you so honestly during the estimate. We'd rather give you a straight answer than sell you a lift that won't hold up.

How much does it cost to lift steps, a patio, a garage floor, a pool deck, or an RV pad?

It depends on the job. These slabs vary a lot in size, thickness, access, and how much foam they need, so we don't quote a general range. We'll look at the job in person and give you a free estimate.

Is concrete lifting cheaper than replacing the concrete?

Usually, yes. Polyurethane foam lifting typically costs 50% to 80% less than tearing out and replacing the concrete, and there's no demolition, no new pour, and no waiting for new concrete to cure.

How soon can I use my concrete after it's lifted?

Right away for walking. The foam cures in 15 to 30 minutes, so your driveway or sidewalk is ready for normal use almost as soon as we pack up.

Is concrete lifting covered by a warranty?

Yes. Our lifting comes with a 3-year warranty. If a slab we lifted settles more than 1/4 inch within three years, we'll come back and lift it again. A fuel fee may apply.
