Serving Santaquin and nearby communities.

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 it works

How our Sidewalk Lifting process works

  1. Sidewalk Inspection photo
    Step 1

    Sidewalk Inspection

    Trip hazards and uneven slabs are identified along the walkway.

  2. Access Hole Drilling photo
    Step 2

    Access Hole Drilling

    Small entry points are drilled into the affected slab sections.

  3. Foam Injection photo
    Step 3

    Foam Injection

    Material is injected to raise the sidewalk to a safe level.

  4. Height Matching photo
    Step 4

    Height Matching

    Adjacent slabs are aligned to eliminate tripping hazards.

  5. Hole Patching photo
    Step 5

    Hole Patching

    Access points are sealed to restore a smooth surface.

  6. Final Safety Check photo
    Step 6

    Final Safety Check

    The sidewalk is reviewed to confirm proper alignment and safety.

Materials

Materials and methods for Sidewalk Lifting

  • Polyurethane Foam photo

    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 photo

    Patch Mix

    Fills access holes to restore a flush surface finish.

  • Joint Sealant photo

    Joint Sealant

    Reseals joints between slabs after lifting is complete, keeping water from undermining the fix.

  • Surface Protectant photo

    Surface Protectant

    Helps guard repaired areas from weather exposure.

  • Alignment Gauge photo

    Alignment Gauge

    Used to measure slab height differences during the process.

  • Bonding Primer photo

    Bonding Primer

    Improves patch material adhesion to original concrete.

FAQs

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.
