Holladay Foundation Pros
Patio Lifting in Holladay, UT
Patio lifting in Holladay using polyjacking to level sunken slabs, closing gaps at the house without a full tear-out.
Serving Holladay and nearby communities.
Clay soil pockets on Holladay's bench lots shift seasonally, and a patio slab tilting away from the house or pooling water near the door is a common sign of that movement. Patio lifting uses polyjacking, injecting PolyLevel foam through small drill holes, to raise and re-level the slab without ripping it out and repouring.
This is a slab-support fix, separate from foundation repair on the house itself. Holladay Foundation Pros treats patio lifting as its own job, scoped and priced on its own, so the quote reflects exactly what's being fixed.

How our Patio Lifting process works
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.

Patch Compound
Fills and finishes drilled access holes smoothly.
Joint Filler
Restores expansion joints after the lifting process to keep water out.
Surface Sealant
Guards the patio against moisture and surface wear through freeze-thaw seasons.
Leveling Tools
Used to verify consistent elevation across the patio.
Bonding Agent
Enhances adhesion between patch material and existing concrete.

What does patio lifting cost in Holladay?
Pricing is based on slab size and how much it's tilted or sunk. A free estimate after inspection gives you a firm number for your patio.
| Project type | Typical range | What’s included |
|---|---|---|
| Single slab lift | $400–$900 | one sunken or tilted section. |
| Multi-slab patio | $1,000–$3,000 | a full patio with several sections out of level. |
| Patio-to-house seam correction | $600–$1,200 | closing a gap where the patio has pulled away from the house. |
| Full patio replacement | $5,000–$10,000 | when slabs are too cracked or deteriorated to lift. |
These are typical local ballparks — final cost depends on scope, materials, and site conditions. A free estimate gives you an accurate, itemized number for your home.

DIY vs hiring a pro for Patio Lifting
| DIY | Hire a pro |
|---|---|
| Sealing hairline surface cracks with a patch compound | Any actual slab lifting, since uneven lift pressure under a patio slab can crack it, and getting even pressure takes a monitored injection rig |
| Regrading soil at the patio edge to direct water away | Closing a gap at the house-to-patio seam, where precise height matching matters |
| Monitoring for new tilting after seasonal soil shifts | Multi-slab patios needing consistent elevation across sections |

Patio Lifting FAQs
How much does patio lifting cost in Holladay?
A single slab lift typically runs $400-$900, while a full multi-slab patio can run $1,000-$3,000 depending on how many sections need correction.
Can clay soil shifting cause my patio to sink?
Yes. Clay soil pockets on Holladay bench lots expand and contract seasonally, which is a common cause of patio slabs tilting or sinking unevenly.
How long does patio lifting take?
Most jobs are finished same day, with the patio usable again within a few hours.
Do I need a permit to lift my patio?
Lifting an existing slab usually doesn't require a permit. A permit would only apply if you replace the slab with new concrete.
Is polyjacking better than replacing a sunken patio?
Yes. Polyjacking lifts the slab in a single day for a fraction of the cost of a full tear-out and repour, unless the concrete is too cracked to salvage.
Why is there a gap between my patio and my house?
Soil settling under the patio slab, separate from the house's foundation, causes the patio to drop while the house stays put. Lifting the slab closes that gap.
