Sidewalk Lifting in Holladay, UT
Sidewalk lifting in Holladay removes trip-hazard height differences with same-day polyjacking and free estimates.
Serving Holladay and nearby communities.
Bench-lot soil settling around Holladay creates height differences between sidewalk sections that turn into trip hazards over time. Sidewalk lifting uses polyjacking, injecting foam through small drill holes, to raise the lower slab back flush with its neighbor instead of replacing the whole section.
This is a slab-leveling job, distinct from foundation repair on the house itself. Holladay Foundation Pros scopes and prices sidewalk lifting on its own, matched to the exact slabs that need correcting.
What's included
What's included with Sidewalk Lifting
Typically included: slab assessment, access hole drilling, foam injection, height matching between slabs, hole patching. Optional: joint resealing across the full walkway, grinding a small lip if height matching alone won't fully resolve it. Customer prep: clear foot traffic and any obstacles from the sidewalk area before the crew arrives.

How our Sidewalk Lifting process works
Step 1Sidewalk Inspection
Trip hazards and uneven slabs are identified along the walkway.
Step 2Access Hole Drilling
Small entry points are drilled into the affected slab sections.
Step 3Foam Injection
Material is injected to raise the sidewalk to a safe level.
Step 4Height Matching
Adjacent slabs are aligned to eliminate tripping hazards.
Step 5Hole Patching
Access points are sealed to restore a smooth surface.
Step 6Final Safety Check
The sidewalk is reviewed to confirm proper alignment and safety.
Materials
Materials and methods for Sidewalk Lifting
Polyurethane Foam
Raises sidewalk slabs quickly with minimal curing time, useful where soil settling has shifted sections at different rates.
Patch Mix
Fills access holes to restore a flush surface finish.
Joint Sealant
Reseals joints between slabs after lifting is complete.
Surface Protectant
Helps guard repaired areas from weather exposure through freeze-thaw seasons.
Alignment Gauge
Used to measure slab height differences during the process.
Bonding Primer
Improves patch material adhesion to original concrete.

What does sidewalk lifting cost in Holladay?
Pricing depends on how many slabs are out of alignment and the height difference between them. A free estimate gives you an exact figure.
| Project type | Typical range | What’s included |
|---|---|---|
| Single slab correction | $300–$700 | one raised or sunken section. |
| Multi-slab walkway | $800–$2,500 | several sections along a front walk or side path. |
| Public right-of-way sidewalk | $500–$1,500 | work that may require city coordination. |
| Full sidewalk replacement | $4,000–$8,000 | when slabs are too 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 Sidewalk Lifting
| DIY | Hire a pro |
|---|---|
| Sealing hairline cracks on an otherwise level sidewalk | Any actual height correction, since matching slab height precisely needs lift monitoring equipment a homeowner doesn't have access to |
| Reporting a trip hazard near a public walkway to the city if it's not on your property | Public right-of-way sidewalk sections, where city coordination may be required |
| Monitoring slab height differences after seasonal soil shifts | Multi-slab walkways needing consistent alignment across several sections |

Sidewalk Lifting FAQs
How much does sidewalk lifting cost in Holladay?
A single slab correction typically runs $300-$700, while a multi-slab walkway can run $800-$2,500 depending on how many sections are affected.
Is polyjacking cheaper than replacing a sunken sidewalk?
Yes . Polyjacking lifts and aligns the slab in a single day for a fraction of what a full sidewalk replacement costs.
How long does sidewalk lifting take?
Most jobs are completed same day, with the sidewalk usable again within a few hours.
Do I need a permit to lift my sidewalk?
Private sidewalk sections usually don't need a permit. Public right-of-way sidewalk work may require city coordination, so check before scheduling.
What causes sidewalk slabs to settle unevenly?
Soil compaction and settling happen at different rates across adjacent slabs, especially on Holladay's bench-area soil, which is why one section can sink while its neighbor stays put.
Can I fix a raised sidewalk slab myself?
Grinding down a small lip is sometimes a DIY fix for minor height differences, but correcting the underlying settlement needs foam injection with monitored lift equipment.
