HOME › PATIO LEVELING & LIFTING
Your patio should be a place to relax — not a wobbly, water-pooling trip hazard. When patio slabs settle, they tilt toward the house, pool rainwater against your foundation, and open gaps at the door threshold. Jack It Up re-levels patios with clean polyurethane foam lifting, usually in just a few hours.
Patios almost always settle toward the house, because backfilled soil near the foundation compacts over time. That reverses the drainage slope — sending every rainstorm at your slab foundation instead of away from it. Leveling restores positive drainage and protects the structure.
No jackhammers, no dumpster in the driveway, no torn-up landscaping. We work through a few small holes with hose-fed equipment, lift the slab back to the correct pitch, fill the voids underneath, and seal the joints.
Polyurethane cures in minutes, so your patio is ready for furniture and foot traffic almost immediately — a fraction of the cost and disruption of pouring new concrete that never quite matches the old.
Yes — re-pitching patios so water drains away from the foundation is one of our most common and most valuable jobs. We lift the low side back to a positive slope.
We lift gradually and evenly, monitoring in fractions of an inch. Existing hairline cracks may close slightly as the slab returns to plane; we control the lift specifically to avoid stressing the concrete.
Most residential patios are done in 2–4 hours from setup to cleanup, and the surface is usable the same day.
