Real Job in Draper — Sunken Patio Causing Gutter Drainage Failure
This Draper homeowner had a back patio that had gradually sunk below the level of the surrounding retaining wall. Over time the settlement got bad enough that the patio covering — attached to the slab — dropped along with it. When the patio covering tilted, it changed the slope of the gutters attached to it, causing water to flow in the wrong direction and spill out over the sides instead of draining properly.
What started as a concrete problem had become a drainage and water damage issue. Every rainstorm was dumping water in the wrong places around the home.
We lifted the sunken patio slab back to its original level, which restored the proper slope of the patio covering and fixed the gutter drainage in the process. The entire job was completed in a few hours — no demolition, no new concrete, no days of waiting. The homeowner saved thousands compared to tearing out and replacing the patio, and got their drainage problem solved at the same time.
If your patio, porch cover, or attached structures seem to be tilting or causing drainage issues, the root cause may be a sunken concrete slab. Call (801) 230-9798 for a free assessment.
