Concrete Leveling in Salt Lake City
Concrete surfaces such as driveways, sidewalks, patios, and porches can settle over time, creating unsightly cracks, gaps, and tripping hazards. These issues not only affect the appearance of your property but can also pose a serious safety risk. At Rhino Foundation Systems, we provide expert concrete leveling services designed to restore stability, safety, and aesthetic appeal to your concrete surfaces. With years of experience in the industry, we offer the most effective and durable solutions for concrete sinking or shifting.
What is Concrete Leveling?
Concrete leveling is the process of restoring sunken or uneven concrete surfaces to their original level and function. Over time, concrete slabs can shift due to changes in soil conditions, moisture levels, and natural settling. This can lead to cracks, uneven surfaces, and dangerous tripping hazards. Concrete leveling addresses these issues by lifting and stabilizing the concrete, improving both its appearance and its structural integrity.
At Rhino Foundation Systems, we utilize a cutting-edge polyurethane foam injection method that is fast, efficient, and highly effective in lifting and stabilizing sunken concrete slabs. Our expert team ensures that your property’s concrete surfaces are restored to their original level, eliminating gaps, cracks, and dangerous slopes.
How Does Concrete Leveling Work?
Concrete leveling is a precise, multi-step process that involves injecting a specialized polyurethane foam underneath the affected concrete to lift and stabilize it. Here’s how it works:
Assessment and Preparation
We begin with a comprehensive inspection to assess the extent of the settling and identify the underlying causes. Our team will mark the areas where the foam injections will be made, ensuring that we target the problem areas for effective lifting.
Drilling Small Injection Holes
Small, dime or quarter-sized holes are drilled into the sunken concrete slabs. These holes provide the entry point for our polyurethane foam.
Injection of Polyurethane Foam
Our proprietary polyurethane foam is injected beneath the concrete. As the foam expands, it fills the voids beneath the slab, lifting it back to its original position. This foam is lightweight yet highly effective at stabilizing the soil underneath, providing a long-term solution.
Precise Leveling
As the foam expands, our technicians carefully monitor the lifting process to ensure the concrete is raised evenly and aligned with the surrounding surfaces. We ensure that all uneven areas are corrected to restore the surface to its proper level.
Completion and Clean-Up
Once the concrete is leveled, we remove any remaining injection ports, clean the area, and ensure the surface is smooth and ready for use.

Why is Concrete Leveling Necessary?
Concrete leveling is necessary because concrete slabs are typically installed on soil, which can shift and settle over time. This movement is often caused by changes in soil moisture, fluctuating temperatures, poor drainage, and natural soil compaction. As a result, concrete slabs can sink, crack, or become uneven.
Without intervention, these issues can worsen, leading to more significant damage, increased repair costs, and potential safety hazards. Concrete leveling addresses these concerns by stabilizing the soil and lifting the concrete back to its original level, restoring both its functionality and appearance.
The benefits of concrete leveling go beyond cosmetic improvements – it helps extend the lifespan of your concrete surfaces, eliminates tripping hazards, improves drainage, and increases the value of your property by enhancing its curb appeal.
Cost and Benefits of Concrete Leveling
The cost of concrete leveling varies depending on several factors, including the size of the area, the extent of the damage, and the type of leveling method used. On average, homeowners can expect to spend anywhere from a few hundred to several thousand dollars for concrete leveling, depending on the specific needs of the project.
While the initial investment in concrete leveling is important, the long-term benefits far outweigh the cost:
Cost-Effective Solution
Concrete leveling is typically much more affordable than replacing entire slabs.
Improved Safety
Lifting sunken concrete eliminates tripping hazards, making your property safer for your family and visitors.
Increased Property Value
Well-maintained, level concrete surfaces enhance your home’s curb appeal and can increase its overall value.
Long-Term Durability
Our polyurethane foam injections are designed to provide lasting stability, preventing future shifting and ensuring a durable solution.
Our Concrete Leveling Process: A Proven Approach
At Rhino Foundation Systems, we follow a streamlined and effective three-step process to ensure that your concrete surfaces are leveled accurately and efficiently:
Drilling
We drill small, discreet holes in the concrete slabs to access the space beneath the surface. These holes are placed strategically to maximize the effectiveness of the foam injection.
Pumping
Our specialized polyurethane foam is injected under the concrete, where it begins to expand and fill voids beneath the surface. The foam gently lifts the concrete back to its original position without causing damage to the existing slab.
Leveling
As the foam continues to expand, our team monitors the process to ensure the concrete is lifted precisely and evenly. We adjust the injection process to ensure a smooth and level surface that conforms to the surrounding area.
The entire process is fast, minimally disruptive, and leaves your concrete surfaces looking as good as new.

What They Say About Us
Rhino Foundation Systems recently leveled my slab driveway that had sunk in a number of places over the years. They were very responsive! I was impressed with the follow-up. Other companies I reached out to disappointed due to their lack of communication. The work they did looks great and their pricing was quite reasonable. I would highly recommend them!
I have a concrete slab that has settled, and I was thinking about raising it. We contacted Rhino Foundation Systems and received an estimate within 24 hours. Very courteous and professional. I would not hesitate to recommend Rhino Foundation systems for concrete leveling.
Rhino did an outstanding job fixing our 3″ crack and sinking slab. Our front walkway had become a hazard to anyone attempting the abyss. They were quick and efficient and communicated with me every step of the way. These guys were extremely professional and I can’t recommend them enough!
