Patio Concrete Lifting
Fix Uneven Patios Without Tearing Out the Concrete
An uneven or sunken patio isn’t just an eyesore — it can create trip hazards, water pooling, and unsafe walking surfaces. In many cases, the concrete itself is still in good condition. The real problem is what’s happening underneath the slab.
Across Florida, Georgia, Texas, Tennessee, and Alabama, patios commonly settle due to soil erosion, poor compaction, water washout, and shifting ground conditions. Left unaddressed, these issues often get worse over time and can lead to cracked concrete or full replacement.
Poly Lift USA offers a fast, affordable solution to lift and level sunken patios using high-density polyurethane foam. Our process restores stability and safety without demolition, excavation, or long downtime. Most patio lifting projects are completed in just a few hours and cost 50–75% less than replacing the patio.
What Is Patio Concrete Lifting?
Patio concrete lifting is the process of raising sunken or uneven patio slabs back to their proper position by injecting expanding polyurethane foam beneath the concrete.
Instead of removing the patio or digging out soil, small access holes are drilled through the slab. Polyurethane foam is injected below the surface, where it expands to fill voids, stabilize weak soil, and gently lift the patio into place.
This approach preserves the existing concrete while fixing the root cause of settlement.
Common Signs You Need Patio Lifting
You may need patio concrete lifting if you notice:
- Uneven or sunken patio slabs
- Raised edges creating trip hazards
- Cracks forming near joints or corners
- Water pooling on one side of the patio
- Slabs tilting toward the home or yard
- Gaps forming between the patio and foundation
- Hollow-sounding concrete when tapped
These signs usually indicate soil loss or movement beneath the patio.

Why Patios Settle Over Time
Concrete patios sink for the same reason most slabs do — the soil underneath changes. Common causes include:
- Soil erosion from rain and runoff
- Poor compaction during original installation
- Downspouts dumping water near the patio
- Expansive soils that swell and shrink with moisture
- Organic material breaking down beneath the slab
- Improper drainage directing water under the patio
As the soil weakens, the patio loses support and begins to settle unevenly.
Problems Patio Lifting Helps Fix
Patio concrete lifting helps correct and prevent:
- Trip hazards and uneven walking surfaces
- Water pooling and drainage issues
- Slabs pulling away from steps or doorways
- Cracking caused by uneven support
- Unsafe areas around outdoor furniture or grills
- Costly patio replacement
Lifting restores both safety and usability without destroying the patio.

Patio Concrete Lifting FAQs
Concrete driveways rest on subgrade, which is a fancy term for the earth below. When the subgrade begins to weaken and settle, the driveway loses its support. This can be caused by a variety of factors…weather, rain, leaks, excess weight to name a few. While the root causes may vary, the end result is always the same. Structural damage.
Over time, often in months, driveway slabs begin to stress, then crack and, eventually, break apart and sink. This leads to trip hazards, unsightly appearance and a reduction in property values. This damage is structural – not cosmetic. Neither patching nor a new surface will solve the problem.
At Poly Lift USA we offer customers an environmentally safe, affordable, long-term resolution.
Our Foamjection technology has enabled thousands of property owners in Florida, Georgia, Texas and Alabama to repair their damaged driveway and save thousands in replacement costs. Our typical repair is well under 50% less than cost of replacement.
Here’s how Foamjection technology works:
- Penny size holes are drilled through the damaged slab at 5-foot intervals.
- Specially formulated polyurethane foam is pumped through the slab reaching the subgrade underneath.
- The liquid foam fills voids and expands rapidly to compact the earth beneath the slab.
- As the foam hardens it locks the slab in place. We call this stabilization.
- When lift is required, additional foam is pumped using carefully calibrated pressure gauges until the slab is raised to the desired height.
- Drill holes are filled with sanded concrete.
All Poly Lift USA repairs come with a 10-year, transferable warranty.
