Concrete lifting raises sunken slabs back to level using polyjacking, polyurethane foam injected through dime-sized drill holes, instead of tearing out and repouring the whole section. Payson Foundation Pros uses this method on sunken slab sections around homes where soil moisture swings, irrigation on valley-floor lots and runoff on foothill lots alike, have left voids under the concrete over time.
Most slabs don't need to be replaced, they need the void underneath filled so the slab has something to sit on again. Foam injection does that in a few hours instead of the days a full tear-out and repour takes, at a fraction of the cost.
What's included

How Our Concrete Lifting Process Works
Step 1Surface Assessment
Uneven or sunken concrete areas are identified and measured.
Step 2Drilling Access Holes
Small holes are drilled into the concrete to allow material injection.
Step 3Material Injection
Expanding foam is injected beneath the slab to raise it evenly.
Step 4Elevation Monitoring
Lift progress is measured to achieve the desired level.
Step 5Hole Patching
Access holes are filled and finished to match the surrounding surface.
Step 6Final Inspection
The lifted area is reviewed for levelness and stability.
Materials
Materials and Methods for Concrete Lifting
Payson's soil moisture swings between irrigation season and dry spells mean slab voids reopen if the fill material isn't stable, which is why foam over loose fill matters here.
Polyurethane Foam
Expands beneath slabs to lift and stabilize concrete surfaces without adding excess load to already-variable soil.
Injection Ports
Allow controlled placement of lifting material under the slab for even lift.
Patch Compound
Fills drilled access holes for a smooth finish.
Surface Sealant
Protects the repaired area from moisture and staining through winter freeze-thaw cycles.
Leveling Gauge
Used to measure and confirm slab elevation during lifting.
Bonding Agent
Improves adhesion between new patch material and existing concrete.

|---|---|---|
| Small slab section | $400–$900, | single panel lift such as a step or small walkway. |
| Driveway or patio panel | $800–$2,500, | per affected panel depending on size. |
| Multi-panel lift | $2,500–$6,000, | several connected panels lifted in one visit. |

Concrete Lifting FAQs
How much does concrete lifting cost in Payson?
Most jobs run $400 to $6,000 depending on slab size and how many panels are affected.
Is polyurethane foam lifting permanent?
It holds as long as the underlying soil stays stable. Foam doesn't compress or wash out the way loose fill can, so it typically outlasts fill-based methods.
How long does concrete lifting take?
Most jobs finish in a few hours, with the slab usable the same day.
Is concrete lifting cheaper than replacing the slab?
Usually by a wide margin. Lifting addresses the void causing the sink without removing and repouring the concrete.
Can I lift concrete myself with a DIY kit?
Store-bought kits don't have the pressure control professional equipment uses, which means uneven lift or cracking is a real risk.
Does lifting work on any size slab?
From small walkway sections to full driveway panels. Larger or multi-panel jobs just take more injection points and time.
