Concrete Lifting in Holladay, UT
Polyjacking concrete lifting in Holladay: PolyLevel foam through dime-sized holes to level sunken slabs same day.
Serving Holladay and nearby communities.
Concrete lifting raises sunken driveway, patio, and sidewalk slabs using polyjacking, a polyurethane foam injection method, rather than tearing out and repouring. It's a separate specialty from foundation wall repair, dealing with slabs, not structure.
Clay and sandy soil shifting on Holladay's bench lots causes slab settlement that's a different issue entirely from foundation wall movement. A full tear-out and replace is often avoidable once PolyLevel or a similar hydrophobic foam system is an option. Holladay Foundation Pros drills dime-sized holes, injects the foam, and monitors the lift in real time rather than guessing at the fill volume.

How our Concrete Lifting process works
Step 1Surface Assessment
Uneven or sunken concrete areas are identified and measured.
Step 2Drilling Access Holes
Small holes are drilled into the concrete to allow material injection.
Step 3Material Injection
Expanding foam is injected beneath the slab to raise it evenly.
Step 4Elevation Monitoring
Lift progress is measured to achieve the desired level.
Step 5Hole Patching
Access holes are filled and finished to match the surrounding surface.
Step 6Final Inspection
The lifted area is reviewed for levelness and stability.
Cost
What does concrete lifting cost in Holladay?
Polyjacking is usually less disruptive and less expensive than tearing out and repouring a slab, but pricing still depends on size and sink depth.
| Project type | Typical range | What’s included |
|---|---|---|
| Single slab touch-up | $400–$900 | one or two access points, minor leveling. |
| Standard driveway or patio section | $900–$2,500 | multiple injection points, moderate sink correction. |
| Larger multi-slab job | $2,500–$6,000+ | extended footage or severe settlement. |

DIY vs hiring a pro for Concrete Lifting
| DIY | Hire a pro |
|---|---|
| Filling small surface cracks with a concrete crack filler | Any slab that's visibly sunken or tilted, since uneven foam distribution can cause re-sinking without lift monitoring equipment a homeowner doesn't have access to |
| Routine sealing of an otherwise level slab | Slabs near structures where lift needs to be controlled precisely |

Materials and methods for Concrete Lifting
Polyurethane Foam
Expands beneath slabs to lift and stabilize concrete surfaces without adding excess weight to already-shifting soil.
Injection Ports
Allow controlled placement of lifting material under the slab.
Patch Compound
Fills drilled access holes for a smooth finish.
Surface Sealant
Protects the repaired area from moisture and staining.
Leveling Gauge
Used to measure and confirm slab elevation during lifting.
Bonding Agent
Improves adhesion between new patch material and existing concrete.

FAQs
Concrete Lifting FAQs
Is foam/polyjacking really cheaper than replacing a sunken driveway?
Usually, yes. Polyjacking avoids demolition and new concrete costs, and it's typically a same-day job instead of a multi-day tear-out and cure.
Can clay soil shifting on the east bench cause my patio to sink?
Yes. Clay soil expands and contracts with moisture, and that movement is a common cause of slab settlement on bench lots.
How long does concrete lifting take?
Most slabs are lifted and usable the same day, with a short cure before heavy loads like vehicles.
Do I need a permit to lift my driveway?
Lifting an existing slab usually doesn't need a permit. A new pour or full replacement would.
