Ascent Concrete Lifting / Provo
Concrete lifting and leveling in Provo, UT
FREE ESTIMATES | SAME-DAY RESULTS | NO FULL TEAR-OUT
Keep the concrete you have
A better level.
A smaller disruption.
Sunken concrete is more than an eyesore. A dipped driveway apron, a tilted sidewalk slab, or a settled patio is usually a sign that the ground underneath has washed out, compacted, or shifted. Instead of ripping out and repouring your concrete, Ascent lifts it back into place with high-density polyurethane foam. We drill a few small holes, inject foam beneath the slab, and raise it back to level, often in a single visit. Your existing concrete stays put. Your yard stays intact. And you're not writing a check for a full replacement.
Local ground. Local conditions.
Why Provo concrete sinks
Provo is one of Utah's oldest cities. Mormon pioneers built Fort Utah here in 1849, and the settlement was renamed Provo the following year after French-Canadian trapper Étienne Provost. For a stretch in the 1800s it was the second-largest city in the territory. That history shows up in the ground and in the housing stock. Neighborhoods close to downtown and Brigham Young University, places like Joaquin, Dixon, Franklin, and Provost, are full of older homes and converted rental properties that have had close to a century to settle, along with driveways and walkways poured decades before current compaction standards. Newer development on the east bench and in areas like Edgemont, Oak Hills, and Indian Hills sits on fill that's still working its way to a stable state, which is its own path to an unlevel slab.
The soil itself doesn't do these older and newer sections of town any favors. Provo sits on the eastern shore of Utah Lake in Utah Valley, ground that was submerged under ancient Lake Bonneville thousands of years ago. That geologic history left behind the same kind of fine lakebed clay and silt deposits found across the Wasatch Front. Clay-heavy soil expands when it's wet and shrinks when it dries out, and it compacts unevenly under the weight of a slab over time. Add in Utah Valley's freeze-thaw winters, where moisture in the soil repeatedly freezes and expands, then thaws and contracts, and you've got a recipe for the gaps, voids, and settling that show up as a dip in your driveway or a lip in your sidewalk.
The material makes a difference
Why polyurethane foam beats mudjacking
Mudjacking, pumping a heavy slurry of cement and soil underneath a slab, was the old fix for sunken concrete. It's messy, it takes a lot longer to cure, and that added weight can actually accelerate settling in soil that's already unstable. Polyurethane foam does the same job with a fraction of the weight and none of the mess. It expands within minutes to fill voids and lift the slab, cures fast enough to walk or drive on the same day, and won't wash out or break down the way mud slurry can. In soil that shifts as much as Provo's clay-rich, lake-bottom ground does, a lightweight, water-resistant fill is simply the more durable choice.

Concrete lifting services in Provo
Driveways
Driveway lifting is one of the most common calls we get in Provo. A sunken driveway slab creates a trip hazard and a bad first impression, so we lift it back to level so it drains correctly and meets your garage floor or street without a step.
Sidewalks
Uneven sidewalk sections are a liability, especially with BYU foot traffic and rental turnover common in Provo's older neighborhoods. We raise and level slabs so they sit flush again.
Patios & pool decks
A settled patio or pool deck pulls away from the house and collects standing water. We lift it back into place so it slopes the way it was designed to.
Garage floors
A dipped garage floor can crack further under vehicle weight and let water pool near your foundation. We fill the void underneath and bring the slab back level.
Void filling
Empty space under a slab, from erosion, poor original compaction, or a broken pipe, will eventually cause a collapse. We fill it before that happens.
Joint & crack sealing
Once your concrete is level, sealing the joints and cracks keeps water and soil from washing back out from underneath, protecting the lift.

How it works
Free on-site estimate
We come to your Provo property, look at the affected concrete, and give you a straightforward, no-obligation quote.
Small access holes
We drill holes about the size of a coin at key points in the slab, small enough that they're barely noticeable once the job is done.
Foam injection
We pump high-density polyurethane foam through the holes. It expands to fill voids and lift the slab back to level.
Seal and walk away
We patch the access holes and seal the joints. Most surfaces are ready to walk or drive on within an hour.

Frequently asked questions
Will this work if my soil has a lot of clay?
Yes. Much of Provo sits on old Lake Bonneville lakebed sediment, which means clay- and silt-heavy soil that expands and contracts with moisture. Polyurethane foam is unaffected by that movement once it cures, and it's dense enough to fill the voids that clay soil leaves behind as it shifts.
Is polyurethane foam strong enough to support a driveway or garage floor?
Yes. The high-density foam we use is rated for the same loads as residential driveways, garage floors, and even light commercial traffic. It's the same technology used to lift and stabilize concrete under heavier structures.
How soon can I use the concrete after it's lifted?
Most jobs cure enough to walk or drive on within 30 to 60 minutes. That's one of the biggest differences from mudjacking or a full tear-out and repour, which can take days to cure.
How much does concrete lifting cost in Provo?
Cost depends on the size of the slab, how much it's settled, and how many access points are needed. Most jobs cost a fraction of full replacement. We'll give you an exact number after a free on-site estimate.
Do you serve my part of Provo?
Yes. We work throughout Provo, from the older neighborhoods near downtown and BYU to the east bench, and across the rest of Salt Lake, Utah, and Wasatch counties.
