Settled, sloping, or separating patio slab? We raise it back toward its original position with high-density polyurethane foam — usually same day, with no deposit.
The slab beside your house sits on some of the most disturbed soil on the property — which is exactly why patios are one of the first surfaces to sink.
When your home was built, the trench around the foundation was filled back in. That backfill is rarely compacted as tightly as undisturbed ground, so it keeps consolidating for years — and the patio poured on top of it drops with it.
Downspouts, poor grading, and roof runoff funnel water right along the house. Over time that water erodes the soil under the patio and opens voids the slab has nothing to rest on.
Along the Wasatch Front, expansive clay and soft former Lake Bonneville lakebed sediments swell and shrink, while winter freeze-thaw cycles heave and drop the ground season after season.
A sunken patio is more than a tripping nuisance. When the slab tilts back toward your home instead of draining away from it, every rainstorm and snowmelt pushes water straight at the foundation.
A widening gap where the patio meets the foundation or back step is the clearest sign the slab has dropped and pulled away.
If water pools against the wall, or you can see the patio sloping toward the home, the original drainage pitch is gone — and that water has nowhere to go but down along the foundation.
Raised edges between sections, or a step down where the patio used to meet the door threshold, mean the slab has settled unevenly underfoot.
Left alone, water against the foundation can lead to far more expensive problems than the patio itself. Lifting the slab early re-establishes drainage before that water finds its way inside.
Concrete patio lifting with poly foam is fast, clean, and works around the patio you already have — no demolition, no re-pour.
We drill a few injection ports about ⅝ inch across — roughly the width of a dime — through the slab.
High-density polyurethane foam goes in, expands to fill the voids underneath, and lifts the slab back toward its original position — re-establishing slope away from the house where conditions allow.
The foam cures in about 15 minutes. We patch the small holes to blend in, and the patio is walkable within about 15 minutes.
The foam is about 2 lbs per cubic foot, water-resistant, made from recycled biobased material, inert once cured, and rated for 25+ years — so it holds the patio without re-loading the very soil that gave way. Beehive installs foam only. Most residential patio jobs finish in 1–3 hours, same day, and the slab is driveable within about an hour if it adjoins a drive.
Replacing a patio means demolition, hauling, forming, and a fresh pour. Lifting the slab you already have skips all of that.
Most residential jobs run $1,000–$2,500 depending on slab size, the number of injection points, and how far the patio has settled — roughly half the cost of full tear-out and replacement. You get a free inspection with an upfront written price before any work starts, and there's no deposit — you pay when the work's done. Financing and flexible payment options are available, and every lift is backed by our 2-year re-lift guarantee. We're insured, and we serve Utah County and Salt Lake County along the Wasatch Front from our home base in Lehi, UT.

We just need the slab itself clear, so moving patio furniture and pots off the area is enough. Because we work through small holes in the concrete instead of digging, surrounding landscaping, beds, and pavers stay in place.
The ports are only about ⅝ inch — roughly the width of a dime — and we patch them to blend in. On a plain gray slab they disappear well; on stamped or colored concrete the patches are visible up close but small and unobtrusive.
In most cases, yes. By controlling where the foam lifts the slab, we can re-establish slope away from the foundation where conditions allow, so water sheds off the patio instead of pooling against your home.
Most residential patios are done in 1–3 hours, same day. The foam cures in about 15 minutes, so the slab is walkable within roughly 15 minutes and driveable within about an hour if it connects to a driveway.
