Driveway Lifting in Holladay, UT

Driveway lifting in Holladay using polyjacking and PolyLevel foam to raise sunken slabs same-day, with free estimates.

Serving Holladay and nearby communities.

A sinking driveway near the garage apron is one of the most common slab issues we see on Holladay bench lots, where soil compaction shifts under the weight of a daily-use slab. Driveway lifting uses polyjacking, injecting PolyLevel foam through dime-sized drill holes, to raise the slab back to grade without tearing it out and repouring.

This is a separate service from foundation repair: a sinking driveway is a soil-support issue under a slab, not a structural problem with your home's foundation walls. Holladay Foundation Pros treats it as its own job with its own pricing, so you're not paying foundation-repair rates for a slab fix.

How it works

How our Driveway Lifting process works

  1. Driveway Inspection photo
    Step 1

    Driveway Inspection

    Sunken or sloped sections are identified for correction.

  2. Access Drilling photo
    Step 2

    Access Drilling

    Small holes are drilled at strategic points along the driveway.

  3. Foam Injection photo
    Step 3

    Foam Injection

    Expanding foam is pumped beneath the slab to raise it evenly.

  4. Slope Correction photo
    Step 4

    Slope Correction

    The surface is adjusted to restore proper drainage direction.

  5. Hole Sealing photo
    Step 5

    Hole Sealing

    Drilled holes are patched to blend with the existing surface.

  6. Surface Review photo
    Step 6

    Surface Review

    The driveway is inspected for even, stable elevation.

FAQs

Driveway Lifting FAQs

How much does driveway lifting cost in Holladay?

Single slab lifts typically run $400-$900, while a multi-slab driveway can run $1,500-$4,000 depending on how many sections need correction.

Is polyjacking really cheaper than replacing a sunken driveway?

Usually yes. Polyjacking lifts the existing slab in hours for a fraction of a full tear-out and repour, and it's often the right call unless the concrete itself is badly cracked or deteriorated.

How long does driveway lifting take?

Most jobs are done same day, with the driveway drivable again within a few hours of injection.

Do I need a permit to lift my driveway?

Lifting an existing slab usually doesn't require a permit. A permit only comes into play if you're pouring new concrete or working in a public right-of-way.

Why is my driveway sinking near the garage?

Soil under the garage apron compacts differently than soil under the rest of the driveway, especially on Holladay bench lots, which is why that transition slab is often the first to sink.

Can I fill the gap under my driveway myself?

Store-bought foam kits exist, but even foam distribution and lift monitoring under a full slab needs professional equipment to avoid uneven lifting or cracking.
