Concrete Slabs in South Jordan, UT
The Foundation of Your Project's Success
South Jordan Concrete Pros designs, pours, and installs engineered concrete slabs for building foundations for all types of structures, including homes, businesses, garages, sheds, and additions in South Jordan. All our slabs are designed to withstand the environmental conditions of the Wasatch Front and will be strong enough to support any type of weight placed upon them. Since we know that the strength of your new shed, garage, or home addition will depend on the strength of the concrete slab installed below it, we install slabs at the correct thickness and add the required amount of reinforcement to ensure that they will last for many years to come.
Our approach includes preparing each site before installation by ensuring that all materials needed for the job will be delivered to the site in advance and that we have completed the leveling process to the highest standards. Each of our slabs is specifically designed for the particular soil condition that exists under the structure being built and will be able to withstand the expansive properties of this soil to prevent future movement or cracking.

Why Choose a Professional Concrete Slab?
A well-constructed concrete slab is more than just a flat surface; it is a critical engineering component that determines the success of everything built on top of it. In South Jordan, where soil movement and environmental stressors are common, cutting corners on a slab can lead to costly structural failures. Professional installation ensures that the ground is properly prepared and the concrete is mixed to the exact specifications required for the local climate.
Investing in a professionally poured slab is crucial for:
- Structural Integrity: The strength of a slab helps distribute all the weight to the slab evenly instead of having some areas sink below others, which will make walls crack or doors become stuck due to uneven pressure on the slab.
- Moisture Issues: Properly installed vapor barriers, along with the correct grade of the slab, help prevent water from coming up into the slab through the ground, thus preventing damage to our floor and items in storage due to excessive moisture.
- Level Surface: Ensuring a perfect pour is crucial for the successful installation of anything, such as a shed frame or a hot tub; this also provides a stable base for future use.
- Utah Freeze-Thaw Cycles: We design our slabs with enough air entrainment and sufficient expansion joints to allow the slab to expand and contract without cracking when subjected to the extreme temperature fluctuations in Utah’s winters and summers.
- Heavy Loads: Regardless of the load (e.g., an RV or heavy equipment), we determine the necessary amount of rebar and the minimum thickness of the slab so the surface will not buckle under extreme pressure.

Our commercial concrete is built for the needs of businesses and industrial areas; we have poured many commercial concrete slabs that are designed to handle heavy usage and machinery and will be durable for years to come.
Sheds & Outbuilding Bases
We pour a base for your shed, outbuildings, and other buildings so they don’t sink into the ground, will stay square, and won’t be damaged by the water under your building.
Patio & Outdoor Slabs
A patio slab will allow you to create an outdoor living area and has been finished to include a kitchen, fire pit, or anything else you can think of to make your outside space perfect.
Agriculture Slabs
We pour a strong slab for barns, silos, and equipment storage that is specifically designed to last in agriculture, where equipment and usage can be very stressful on a slab.
The South Jordan Concrete Pros Slab Process
We follow a systematic, engineering-first approach to ensure every slab we pour is structurally sound and perfectly level. In South Jordan, where the soil can shift and the temperatures fluctuate wildly, our rigorous process is the key to preventing the cracking and settling that often affect DIY or substandard projects.
- Site Evaluation: We will evaluate your site in terms of its soil conditions (e.g., clay content), drainage characteristics, and loading requirements so we can determine what thickness and level of reinforcement your site will require.
- Custom Design: We will design your slab to meet the unique needs of your project. Whether that means building a thin slab to support a small, lightweight garden shed or a thick slab to support a large, heavy-duty industrial space, we will make sure it meets your needs.
- Site Preparation: We will prepare your site properly before installing your slab to ensure you have a solid base upon which to build. This includes grading your site to the appropriate elevation, compacting the sub-grade, and removing any organic materials from the area where your slab will be installed.
- Reinforcement Installation: After preparing your site, we will install the necessary reinforcing elements (rebar or wire mesh) into your slab to allow it to withstand tensile stresses and other types of loads without failing structurally.
- Quality Pouring: We will pour high-quality concrete onto your prepared site using a mix designed specifically for South Jordan’s climate to ensure the air entrainment levels are sufficient to protect against freeze-thaw cycles common in this area.
- Finishing Work: Once poured, we will complete the finishing work on your slab, including creating the desired surface texture. For example, if you are having an interior garage built, we can create a smooth steel-troweled finish on the floor, while a slip-resistant broom finish may be required for an exterior pad.
- Curing and Protection: Finally, we will cure and protect your newly poured slab as it develops the necessary strength to support the loads it will be subjected to over time. We will monitor the hydration process to ensure the slab develops the appropriate amount of strength before allowing it to dry prematurely or being exposed to extreme weather conditions during the first few days after installation.

Maintenance and Longevity
A precision-engineered slab is designed to last for decades, but the extreme environmental shifts in the Salt Lake Valley require a proactive approach to maintenance. We don’t just pour your concrete and leave; we provide the technical knowledge necessary to protect the structural integrity of your foundation against Utah’s heavy snows and high-altitude UV exposure.
Our comprehensive guidance for long-term care includes:
- The Best Techniques for Properly Sealing: We will tell you which type of penetrating sealer will most effectively prevent moisture from entering the pores of the concrete. This is essential to stop the internal pressure created by the freeze-thaw process, which is responsible for the majority of surface scaling in this area.
- Proper Cleaning Methods to Keep Your Slab Looking Professional: We will show you how to properly remove salt, oil, and other substances that can damage the surface of your slab without using harsh chemicals that may compromise the protective barrier. The proper cleaning method will ensure your protective barrier continues to function well and your slab looks professional and clean for years to come.
- Recognizing the Early Warning Signs of Settling: We will instruct you on how to recognize the early signs of settling, including hairline cracks and minor level changes. Recognizing these signs early will enable you to make simple adjustments to your drainage system to prevent major structural problems down the road.
- Protecting Your Slab with Long-Term Maintenance: From managing your perimeter drain to selecting non-corrosive de-icing products, we have developed a complete roadmap for you to follow to help maintain your slab over its expected lifespan. By following these simple maintenance procedures, you will ensure your slab provides a strong foundation for your home or business for years to come.
