Patio & Porch Concrete Lifting
When a patio settles toward the house, every rain drains against your foundation. We lift the slab and restore the slope away from the wall.
Erosion can wash away the soil beneath patios and porch slabs, allowing them to settle toward the house. Water follows, and basements pay for it.
We lift the slab from underneath and re-establish positive slope away from the wall. Porch slabs and stoops that have pulled away from the door come back up to meet the threshold. Access, the condition of the slab, and surrounding structures determine the repair plan.
Signs it’s time
- Patio sloping toward the house
- Gap opening under the door threshold
- Porch or stoop pulling away from the foundation
- Damp basement wall behind the patio
Planning your concrete repair
We check patio and porch elevations against door thresholds, siding, adjacent walks, and the house. Existing drainage and available clearance help determine how much the slab can be raised and whether a useful slope can be restored.
When a different repair may be needed
Lifting a patio is not a waterproofing repair. Active leaks, damaged foundations, and drainage systems may require separate work. Attached or structurally supported porches also need assessment before treating them as ordinary ground-supported slabs.
What affects the cost?
The area of concrete, the amount of settlement, the space beneath the slab, and access to the work all affect the quote. We inspect and measure your project in person, then email a written quote. There is no job minimum, and we do not estimate from photos alone.
Our polyurethane lifting process uses ⅜-inch injection holes and foam weighing about 4 pounds per cubic foot. We discuss the expected lift, patching, and return to use for your particular project before scheduling the work.
Can lifting help a patio that drains toward the house?
It may help when settlement has changed the slope of a sound slab. We measure the available lift and look at where runoff can go. The quote is based on an on-site inspection, not a promise that every drainage problem can be solved by lifting.
