An uneven sidewalk panel is a trip hazard. You're liable for it the moment a guest or buyer catches a toe on that lip. That's not a maintenance note, it's a liability sitting on your property line.
On Mapleton's sloped lots, sidewalk sections settle at different rates. Runoff moves through the soil beneath them unevenly. One panel holds, the next one drops. The lip between them gets worse year over year, not better.
What's included
What's Included with Sidewalk Lifting
Typically included: Optional: Customer prep: A typical job covers one to a handful of panels along a front walk or driveway apron. We don't upsell a full sidewalk replacement when a lift will solve the actual problem. If a panel is cracked through or badly spalled instead of just sunken, we'll say so and talk through the honest options before any drilling starts.
- Panel-by-panel lip height measurement before drilling
- Foam injection to raise and match adjacent panel height
- Access hole patching flush with the surrounding concrete
- Final walk-check to confirm a smooth, safe transition
- Joint resealing between lifted and adjacent panels
- Surface protectant application for added weather resistance
- Clear the walkway of planters, hoses, or stored items
- Point out any panels near entry steps or high-traffic areas you're most concerned about
- Keep foot traffic off the panel area during the work window

How Our Sidewalk Lifting Process Works
Step 1Sidewalk Inspection
Trip hazards and lip height differences measured along the walkway.

Small entry points drilled into the affected slab sections.
Step 3Foam Injection
Material injected to raise the sidewalk to a matched, safe level.
Step 4Height Matching
Adjacent slabs aligned to eliminate the tripping lip.
Step 5Hole Patching
Access points sealed to restore a smooth surface.
Step 6Final Safety Check
Walkway reviewed to confirm proper alignment and safety.
Materials
Materials and Methods for Sidewalk Lifting
Polyurethane Foam
Raises sidewalk slabs with minimal curing time, important for a walkway people need to use again the same day.
Patch Mix
Fills access holes to restore a flush surface finish that blends with the surrounding panel.
Joint Sealant
Reseals joints between slabs so Utah's freeze-thaw cycle doesn't force the panels apart again.
Surface Protectant
Helps guard the repaired panel against spring moisture and salt exposure from winter de-icing.
Alignment Gauge
Measures exact height difference between panels so the lift matches precisely, not just approximately.
Bonding Primer
Improves patch material adhesion to the original concrete for a longer-lasting repair.
