A sidewalk panel that's an inch or two higher than the one next to it is a liability problem, not just a cosmetic one. Lehi Foundation Pros lifts sunken sidewalk sections with polyurethane foam injection instead of pulling and repouring the whole run, matching panel heights so the trip edge disappears in a single visit.
Most of these jobs are concentrated near newer Lehi subdivisions where fill soil under the walk hasn't fully compacted yet, so one panel settles while its neighbor stays put. Foam injection fixes the height mismatch without tearing out concrete that's otherwise in good shape.
What's included
What's Included with Sidewalk Lifting
Typically included: panel inspection and height measurement, drilling of dime-sized access holes, foam injection to raise the low panel, height matching at the joint, hole patching.
Optional: joint sealant replacement, surface protectant application for extra weather resistance.
Customer prep: clear any planters, edging, or decorative stone from along the walkway so access points are reachable.

How Our Sidewalk Lifting Process Works
Step 1Sidewalk Inspection
Trip hazards and uneven slabs are identified along the walkway.
Step 2Access Hole Drilling
Small entry points are drilled into the affected slab sections.
Step 3Foam Injection
Material is injected to raise the sidewalk to a safe level.
Step 4Height Matching
Adjacent slabs are aligned to eliminate tripping hazards.
Step 5Hole Patching
Access points are sealed to restore a smooth surface.
Step 6Final Safety Check
The sidewalk is reviewed to confirm proper alignment and safety.
Materials
Materials and Methods for Sidewalk Lifting
Foam injection works because it adds no weight to soil that's already struggling to support the slab, which matters on Lehi's newer fill lots.
Polyurethane Foam
Raises sidewalk slabs quickly with minimal curing time, so the walk is usable the same day.
Patch Mix
Fills access holes to restore a flush surface finish that blends with the surrounding panel.
Joint Sealant
Reseals joints between slabs after lifting is complete, keeping water from working its way back under the panel.
Surface Protectant
Helps guard repaired areas from weather exposure through Utah's freeze-thaw cycle.
Alignment Gauge
Used to measure slab height differences during the process so the fix is precise, not guesswork.
Bonding Primer
Improves patch material adhesion to original concrete so the repair holds.

FAQs
Sidewalk Lifting FAQs
How much does sidewalk lifting cost in Lehi?
Most single-panel jobs run $300-$800 depending on panel size and lift height needed. Larger multi-panel sections cost more. A free estimate gives you an exact number.
Is foam injection as strong as a new concrete pour?
For lift purposes. The slab itself isn't replaced, only repositioned, and the foam cures to a stable base that supports normal foot traffic.
How long before I can walk on it?
Most jobs are walkable within a few hours of the foam curing.
Do I need a permit to lift a sidewalk panel?
Private residential sidewalks usually don't need one. Public right-of-way sidewalks may require city approval first, we'll flag that during the estimate.
What if the panel is cracked, not just sunken?
A cracked panel can sometimes still be lifted and patched. If the crack is severe we'll tell you honestly whether replacement makes more sense.
Will the fix hold through winter?
Hydrophobic polyurethane foam doesn't absorb water or break down with freeze-thaw cycling, so the lift holds.
How is this different from mudjacking?
Foam is lighter, cures faster, and won't wash out or compress over time the way mudjacking slurry can.
