Shed Pad Lifting
Shed Pad Lifting in Kansas City & Surrounding Areas
A sunken or uneven shed pad can cause doors to stick, walls to shift, and long-term structural issues for your shed or outdoor structure. Settled concrete pads can also allow water to pool beneath the structure, accelerating damage. Olympic Concrete Lifting provides professional shed pad lifting services to raise and stabilize concrete pads using advanced polyurethane foam injection — without replacement.

What Is Shed Pad Lifting?
Shed pad lifting is a concrete leveling process that restores settled or sloping concrete pads to their original elevation. Instead of tearing out the pad, we inject high-density polyurethane foam beneath the slab to fill voids, stabilize the soil, and gently lift the concrete.
This process, commonly referred to as polyjacking, provides a long-lasting solution for concrete pads supporting sheds and small structures.
Common Signs Your Shed Pad Needs Lifting
You may need shed pad lifting if you notice:
A shed that appears tilted or out of level
Doors that stick or don’t close properly
Cracks forming in the concrete pad
Gaps between the shed and the pad
Water pooling around or beneath the structure
These issues often indicate soil movement beneath the pad.
Why Shed Pads Sink in the Kansas City Area
Shed pads 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 pad
Natural soil movement over time
When the soil beneath the pad shifts, the concrete above it follows.
Our Shed Pad Lifting Process
We use polyurethane foam injection to lift and stabilize shed pads with precision.
The process includes:
Drilling small, discreet holes into the concrete pad
Injecting expanding polyurethane foam beneath the slab
Filling voids and lifting the pad evenly
Leveling the surface and patching the holes
Most shed pad lifting projects are completed in a few hours with minimal disruption.

Shed Pad Lifting vs. Replacement
Replacing a shed pad isn’t always necessary. If the concrete is structurally sound but uneven, lifting is often the better option.
Shed pad lifting is ideal when:
The pad is intact but settled or sloping
Settlement is caused by soil or drainage issues
You want a faster, more affordable repair
