A sidewalk panel that's an inch or two higher than the one next to it is a trip hazard waiting to happen, and on foothill-adjacent lots around Santaquin, erosion and grading shifts under the slab base are a common cause. Polyjacking fixes the height mismatch without replacing the panel.
Santaquin Foundation Pros injects polyurethane foam beneath the low panel, raising it to match its neighbor instead of tearing out concrete and pouring new.

How our Sidewalk Lifting process works

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
Polyurethane Foam
Raises sidewalk slabs quickly with minimal curing time, holding up under foot traffic and freeze-thaw cycling better than older mud-fill methods.
Patch Mix
Fills access holes to restore a flush surface finish.
Joint Sealant
Reseals joints between slabs after lifting is complete, keeping water from undermining the fix.
Surface Protectant
Helps guard repaired areas from weather exposure.
Alignment Gauge
Used to measure slab height differences during the process.
Bonding Primer
Improves patch material adhesion to original concrete.

Sidewalk Lifting FAQs
How much does sidewalk lifting cost in Santaquin?
Single panels with minor offset start around $200. Multiple panels along a longer walkway can run $900 to $2,500.
Is foam lifting as durable as mudjacking for a sinking sidewalk?
Polyurethane foam is lighter and resists water absorption, which holds up better than traditional mud-based fill through repeated freeze-thaw seasons.
How long does sidewalk lifting take?
Most jobs finish within a few hours, and the walkway is usable again the same day.
Do I need a permit for sidewalk lifting?
Only if the sidewalk borders a public right-of-way, in which case the city may require sign-off. Private walkways typically don't need one.
Is DIY sidewalk lifting possible?
Foam injection requires pressure control to avoid over-lifting a panel, which takes specialized equipment homeowners can't easily access.
