What Is Patio Concrete Lifting?
Patio lifting is a concrete leveling process that restores settled or uneven patio slabs to their original position. Rather than removing and replacing the concrete, we inject high-density polyurethane foam beneath the slab to fill voids, stabilize the soil, and gently lift the concrete.
This process, commonly known as polyjacking, provides a long-lasting solution for patios affected by soil settlement or erosion.
Common Signs Your Patio Needs Lifting
Your patio may need lifting if you notice:
Uneven or sloped concrete slabs
Cracks caused by settlement
Water pooling or poor drainage
Trip hazards along edges or joints
Separation between the patio and the home
These issues tend to worsen over time if not addressed.
Why Patios Sink in the Kansas City Area
Patios commonly settle due to:
Poor soil compaction during installation
Soil erosion from rainfall or runoff
Freeze–thaw cycles that shift soil
Improper drainage around the patio
Natural soil movement over time
When the soil beneath the patio moves, the concrete above it follows.
Our Patio Lifting Process
We use polyurethane foam injection to lift and stabilize patio slabs with precision.
The process includes:
Drilling small, discreet holes into the patio
Injecting expanding polyurethane foam beneath the slab
Filling voids and lifting the concrete evenly
Leveling the surface and patching the holes
Most patio lifting projects are completed in just a few hours, with same-day usability.
