Utah’s Leading Experts in Concrete Lifting and Leveling

Is your driveway, sidewalk, patio, or porch uneven or sinking? Concrete lifting is the smart, affordable solution. At Utah Concrete Lifting, operating under the name Mud Dog Jacking, we provide high-quality polyurethane foam injection services that raise and level sunken concrete throughout Northern Utah. With years of specialized experience, professional equipment, and a focus on customer satisfaction, we’ve helped hundreds of homeowners and businesses repair their concrete the right way—without costly replacement.

What is Concrete Lifting?

Concrete lifting—also known as slab jacking, foam jacking, or concrete leveling—is a non-invasive technique used to raise sunken or uneven concrete slabs back to their original position. Instead of demolishing and replacing the damaged concrete, our team drills small holes into the slab and injects expanding polyurethane foam underneath. As the foam expands, it fills the voids in the soil and gently lifts the slab into alignment.

This modern method is faster, more cost-effective, and less disruptive than traditional tear-outs and replacements.

Common Concrete Problems We Fix

We provide concrete lifting services for both residential and commercial clients throughout Utah. Some of the most common issues we fix include:

• Uneven or sloping driveways
• Sunken sidewalk slabs
• Settled porches and patios
• Drooping garage or shop floors
• Sinking front entry steps
• Cracked or shifted pool decks
• Basement floors with settling issues
• Trip hazards due to uneven surfaces

Why Concrete Sinks in Utah

Utah’s challenging soil conditions, including expansive clay and seasonal freeze-thaw cycles, often lead to unstable foundations. Over time, shifting soils create voids beneath concrete surfaces. When the support underneath is compromised, concrete slabs begin to sink, crack, or tilt.

Some common causes include:

• Inconsistent moisture levels in the soil
• Poor soil compaction during construction
• Erosion from irrigation or rain
• Tree roots disturbing concrete edges
• Water drainage issues and pooling

Without correction, these problems usually worsen over time, resulting in serious structural and safety concerns.

Benefits of Concrete Lifting Over Replacement

Choosing to lift rather than replace your concrete offers a range of advantages:

Faster Turnaround

Most concrete lifting jobs are completed in a single day. There’s no need to wait for demolition or curing time like traditional concrete replacement.

Cost Savings

Concrete lifting can cost as much as 50 to 70 percent less than removing and replacing the slab entirely.

Minimal Disruption

There’s no need to destroy landscaping, remove existing concrete, or shut down access to the area for days at a time.

Environmentally Friendly

By reusing existing materials and minimizing waste, polyurethane foam lifting helps reduce the amount of concrete waste that ends up in landfills.

Long-Term Durability

The high-strength polyurethane foam we use resists moisture, decay, and soil movement, helping keep your concrete stable for many years.

Our Concrete Lifting Process

We use a proven four-step process to ensure precision and quality:

1. Assessment and Evaluation
   We inspect your concrete, identify voids or damage, and determine the best lift points for accurate leveling.
2. Drilling Small Holes
   We drill small, strategically placed holes—typically about the size of a coin—to access the space below the slab.
3. Foam Injection
   Polyurethane foam is injected into the holes and begins to expand immediately, lifting the concrete from below.
4. Finishing and Cleanup
   After the lift is complete, we patch the holes with concrete, clean the site thoroughly, and confirm everything is level and safe.

Our lifting process is designed to be as clean, fast, and effective as possible—often allowing you to use the surface the same day.

Residential Concrete Lifting Services

We work with homeowners across Northern Utah to restore safety and appearance to their properties. Concrete lifting is ideal for:

Driveways

An uneven or sunken driveway isn’t just unsightly—it can damage vehicles and pose a hazard. Lifting restores the smooth surface and improves curb appeal.

Sidewalks

Sidewalk trip hazards are one of the most common causes of pedestrian injury. We level uneven sidewalk slabs to keep your walkways safe and code-compliant.

Patios and Porches

Settling patios and front porches reduce usability and home value. Concrete lifting restores function and aesthetics without disturbing your landscaping.

Stairs and Entryways

Front steps that are too high or low due to settling can cause code violations and accidents. We bring them back to safe, consistent levels.

Commercial and Municipal Concrete Lifting

We also provide lifting services for commercial properties, municipalities, and industrial facilities. Our team is experienced in managing larger-scale projects with minimal disruption to operations.

We level and repair:

• Parking lots and commercial sidewalks
• Warehouse and loading dock floors
• Shopping center walkways
• City sidewalks and curbs
• ADA access ramps and public entries

Our quick turnaround and clean process allow businesses to remain operational during repairs.

The Mud Dog Jacking Difference

Choosing Utah Concrete Lifting means working with a local company that understands Utah’s soil conditions, climate, and construction standards. We’re not a national franchise—we’re a team of highly trained professionals who care about doing the job right.

Here’s what sets us apart:

• Decades of local experience
• Licensed and insured technicians
• State-of-the-art polyurethane lifting systems
• Affordable pricing with free estimates
• No hidden fees or high-pressure sales tactics
• Precision results backed by industry standards

We focus on earning your trust, not just your business. That means clear communication, quality workmanship, and results that last.

Building Code Compliance and Safety

Uneven or settling concrete isn’t just unattractive—it can violate local building codes. For example, the International Residential Code (IRC) requires stair risers to be uniform and walkways to meet specific slope and drainage standards.

Sinking concrete can lead to:

• Non-compliance with height regulations
• Water drainage problems and basement leaks
• Safety hazards and increased liability
• Failed inspections when selling your home

By lifting your concrete back to code-compliant standards, we help you avoid costly citations, insurance issues, or resale delays.
