A lip between two sidewalk slabs doesn't just look bad, it's a trip hazard waiting for someone to catch a toe on it. Spanish Fork's seasonal soil movement shifts slab sections at different rates, and once one slab settles below its neighbor, the gap only gets worse. Spanish Fork Foundation Pros raises the low slab back to match with polyurethane foam injection instead of replacing the whole section.
This method works on private walkways and driveway-adjacent sidewalks where a quick, same-day fix beats tearing out and repouring concrete.

How Our Sidewalk Lifting Process Works
Step 1Sidewalk Inspection
Crews identify trip hazards and measure the height difference between slabs.
Step 2Access Hole Drilling
Small entry points go into the affected slab sections.
Step 3Foam Injection
Material gets injected to raise the low slab to a safe, matched level.
Step 4Height Matching
Adjacent slabs get aligned so the lip disappears.
Step 5Hole Patching
Access points get sealed to restore a smooth, flush surface.
Step 6Final Safety Check
The walkway gets reviewed to confirm proper alignment and safety.
Materials
Materials and Methods for Sidewalk Lifting
Polyurethane Foam
Raises slabs quickly, which matters for walkways that need to stay usable fast.
Patch Mix
Fills access holes so the repair sits flush with the rest of the slab.
Joint Sealant
Reseals the gap between slabs once height matching is complete.
Surface Protectant
Helps guard the repaired joint against freeze-thaw cycling each winter.
Alignment Gauge
Measures slab height differences to confirm the lip is actually gone.
Bonding Primer
Improves patch adhesion to the original concrete around each access hole.

Sidewalk Lifting FAQs
Why did my sidewalk slab sink unevenly?
Each slab section settles at its own rate depending on the soil directly beneath it, so one slab can sink while its neighbor stays put, creating a lip at the joint.
Is grinding down the lip a real fix?
Grinding removes the trip hazard temporarily but doesn't stop the slab from settling further, and it won't fix the underlying lean or unevenness.
How much does sidewalk lifting cost?
Cost depends on how many slabs need lifting and how large the height difference is. Single-slab fixes are the least expensive option.
Do I need a permit for sidewalk lifting?
Private sidewalks usually don't need one. Public right-of-way sections often do, so check with the city first.
How long until the sidewalk is safe to walk on?
Most sidewalks are safely walkable within a few hours of the foam injection.
