A backyard patio that pools water after every rain usually isn't a drainage problem, it's a leveling problem. Once a slab tilts even slightly toward the house instead of away from it, water collects right where you don't want it, and on Alpine's sloped lots that tilt often starts with soil settling unevenly under one section of the slab.
Alpine Foundation Pros fixes this with polyurethane foam injection rather than tearing out the slab. The foam lifts the settled section back to the correct slope so water drains toward the yard again, and it holds up through seasonal moisture changes without washing out the way looser fill materials can.

DIY vs pro
DIY vs Hiring a Pro for Patio Lifting
| DIY | Hire a pro |
|---|---|
| Sealing minor surface cracks with a concrete crack filler | Foam injection and precise lift control require professional equipment |
| Adjusting nearby landscaping to improve surface runoff temporarily | Correcting slope direction so water drains away from the house, not toward it |
| — | Any slab settling progressively rather than a one-time dip |

Patio Lifting FAQs
Why is my patio pooling water near the house?
The slab has likely settled unevenly, tilting toward the house instead of away from it. Lifting the settled section restores the original drainage slope.
How much does patio lifting cost in Alpine?
Most single-section jobs run $500 to $1,200. Full patio relevels with multiple slabs run higher. A free estimate gives you an exact number.
How long does patio lifting take?
Most patios lift in a few hours and are usable the same day once the foam sets.
Do I need a permit for patio lifting?
Usually not, since you're releveling existing concrete rather than adding new structure.
Can I fix a sunken patio myself?
Sealing surface cracks is fine as a DIY task, but correcting the actual slope and lift requires foam injection equipment and pressure control a homeowner doesn't have access to.
Will pooling water near my patio affect my foundation?
It can over time, since standing water close to the house adds moisture pressure against the foundation. Fixing the patio slope is also a form of prevention.
How it works
Our process
Step 1Patio Assessment
Uneven or settled patio sections are identified for repair.
Step 2Access Point Drilling
Small holes are made at key points across the patio surface.
Step 3Foam Injection
Expanding material is injected to raise the settled sections.
Step 4Level Verification
Elevation is checked throughout the lifting process for accuracy.
Step 5Hole Patching
Access points are filled and smoothed to match the patio surface.
Step 6Final Walkthrough
The patio is inspected to confirm a level, stable finish.
