A patio that pools water after every storm usually isn't a drainage design flaw, it's a slab that's settled unevenly into Spanish Fork's clay-heavy valley soil. Once a corner or edge sinks below grade, water collects there instead of running off, and the problem gets worse with each freeze-thaw cycle. Spanish Fork Foundation Pros re-levels the slab with polyurethane foam injection and corrects the pitch so water moves away from the house.
This service also catches slabs that have separated from the home's back door or steps, which creates both a trip hazard and a water intrusion point if left alone.

How Our Patio Lifting Process Works
Step 1Patio Assessment
Crews identify settled sections and measure how much lift each needs.
Step 2Access Point Drilling
Small holes go in at key points across the patio surface.
Step 3Foam Injection
Expanding foam raises the settled section back toward level.
Step 4Level Verification
Elevation gets checked throughout the process to avoid over-lifting.
Step 5Hole Patching
Access points get filled and smoothed to match the patio finish.
Step 6Final Walkthrough
The patio is reviewed to confirm a level, properly draining surface.

Patio Lifting FAQs
Why does my patio pool water after rain?
A settled low spot collects water instead of letting it drain, usually because one section of the slab sank further into the soil than the rest.
How much does patio lifting cost?
Cost depends on patio square footage and how many low spots need correcting. Small single-slab fixes cost less than a full re-pitch of a large patio.
Do I need a permit to lift my patio?
Usually not for a standalone slab. If it's attached to a covered structure or part of a bigger foundation job, check with the city first.
How long before I can use the patio again?
Most patios are walkable within a few hours once the foam sets.
Will lifting fix the gap between my patio and back door?
Re-leveling closes that gap and removes the trip hazard and water entry point it created.
