Sunken slab? We can lift it back to level in hours, not days, for about half the cost of replacement.
Concrete leveling utah specialists since 2010, Lift Right Concrete is family-owned and operated with our shop in West Jordan and our office in Grantsville. We use both polyurethane foam (polyjacking) and traditional mudjacking to lift sunken driveways, walkways, patios, garage floors, and other concrete surfaces back to level. Most concrete leveling utah contractors only own equipment for one method. We own both, and we recommend whichever one actually fits your job.
Concrete leveling is the process of raising sunken or settled concrete back to its original level by injecting material underneath the slab. The slab itself stays in place. We drill small (dime-sized) holes through the concrete, pump material under the slab to fill the void below, and the slab rises back to where it should be. The holes get patched, and the surface is usable almost immediately.
Concrete sinks for many reasons in Utah, but the most common are soil washout (water erodes fill from underneath), poorly-compacted fill from new construction, expansive clay soils that swell and shrink with moisture, and freeze-thaw cycles that disturb the soil base. Whatever the cause, the result is the same: a slab that's no longer where it's supposed to be. Lifting it is faster, cheaper, and far less disruptive than tearing it out and pouring new concrete.
Concrete leveling typically costs about half the price of replacement, takes hours instead of days, leaves no debris or landscape damage, and is usable the same day. As long as the slab itself is structurally sound, lifting is almost always the better choice. If the slab is too far gone, we'll tell you that upfront rather than try to lift something we shouldn't.
One thing that sets us apart: we address the cause, not just the symptom. A sunken driveway didn't sink for no reason. Soil washed out, fill compacted, drainage failed, or something else moved beneath the slab. We figure out what actually happened, fix the underlying cause where we can, and lift the slab. That's why our repairs last.
Different jobs need different tools. Most concrete leveling utah contractors only own equipment for one method. Since we own both, we can recommend whichever one actually fits your job, not the one we happen to have a truck for.
Lightweight, fast-curing polymer foam injected through small holes. The foam expands underneath the slab, fills voids, and lifts the concrete back to level. Cures in 30 to 45 minutes, so the area is usable almost immediately.
Cement-based slurry pumped through holes drilled in the slab. The slurry fills the void, lifts the concrete, and creates a solid base underneath. Takes 4+ hours to fully cure but uses time-tested materials and is often more cost-effective for large areas.
Each method has tradeoffs. See our honest comparison of mudjacking and polyurethane foam for cost, lifespan, when to use each, and how to spot cheap polyfoam work.
Mudjacking and polyfoam lift the slab back to level by filling voids just underneath the concrete. That's the right fix for most jobs. But sometimes the issue is deeper. The soil itself, 5 to 20 feet down, is loose, washed out, or unable to support the weight above. Lifting the slab won't last if the soil keeps moving.
For those situations, we use deep polyurethane injection systems: DeepLock for soil stabilization and DeepLift for combined stabilization and lifting. These specialized resins are injected at depth, where they expand, fill voids, densify loose soils, and lock the soil mass into a stable matrix. It's not the right tool for most concrete leveling jobs. But for the ones where the soil is the actual problem, deep poly is the only fix that addresses the cause. We diagnose the situation during the free estimate and recommend whatever actually solves the problem.
If it's a concrete slab and it's sunken, we can probably lift it. Common projects we handle every week:
The slab itself needs to be structurally sound, meaning no major crumbling or large missing sections. Hairline cracks are fine and very common; we can lift right through those. If a slab is so badly broken that it's already in pieces, full replacement is usually the right call. We'll tell you that upfront during the free estimate, not try to upsell you into a lift that won't hold.
Concrete leveling should be straightforward. Here's how we run a typical residential job from your first call to a finished, level slab.
We assess your concrete on-site and send a written quote through our CRM, often the same day or that evening.
Most jobs are scheduled within a week or two of approval, faster for urgent situations.
Most residential jobs take 2 to 4 hours. We protect your space and clean up afterward.
Polyfoam jobs are usable in under an hour. Mudjacking takes a few hours longer.
Most residential concrete leveling utah jobs run between $800 and $4,000 depending on how much concrete needs to be lifted, how far it has settled, and which method fits the project. A small driveway corner or a few walkway slabs are typically at the lower end. A full driveway or a large patio is closer to the higher end. Concrete leveling typically costs about half the price of full tear-out and replacement, and the job is done in hours instead of days.
Every estimate is free and on-site. We assess your concrete in person and send a written quote through our CRM, often the same day or that evening. We'd rather drive out and look than guess over the phone, because the job you describe and the job we find aren't always the same thing, and the right method depends on what we see in person.

Utah's expansive clay-heavy soils, freeze-thaw cycles, and dramatic moisture swings mean concrete here settles in ways that surprise newcomers. Soil saturated in spring snowmelt swells; soil dried out in summer shrinks. Each cycle stresses the slab, pulls fill out from underneath, and creates voids that slabs eventually sink into. After 16 years of doing concrete leveling utah residents trust, across the Wasatch Front and out in the Tooele Valley, we've seen most of what Utah weather and soil can do, and we know what works to fix it.
Schedule a free on-site estimate. We'll diagnose the cause, recommend the right method (mudjacking or polyfoam), and give you a written quote on the spot. No pressure. Just honest answers from a Utah family-owned company that's been doing this since 2010.
