Driveway Lifting in Murray, UT
Driveway lifting in Murray, UT with polyjacking foam to level sunken slabs near the garage. Same-day repair, free estimates.
Serving Murray and nearby communities.
A sinking driveway slab near the garage apron is a soil settlement issue, not a concrete quality issue. Driveway lifting uses polyjacking, injecting hydrophobic foam through dime-sized drill holes, to raise the slab back level without replacing it. Murray Foundation Pros sees this most at garage transitions and expansion joints, where freeze-thaw cycling compacts soil unevenly over the years.
This keeps your existing driveway, just corrected and re-sloped for proper drainage.

Driveway Lifting FAQs
How much does driveway lifting cost in Murray?
A single sunken slab near the garage typically runs $400-$900. Larger multi-slab jobs can run $2,800-$4,500.
How long does driveway lifting take?
Most jobs are completed same-day, with the driveway drivable within a few hours of injection.
Do I need a permit for driveway lifting?
Standard private driveway polyjacking usually doesn't require a permit since no new structure is added.
Can I lift a sunken driveway slab myself?
No. Raising the slab evenly requires pressure-controlled foam injection equipment that homeowners don't typically have access to.
Will lifting fix the uneven garage transition permanently?
The foam itself is stable long-term, though the same soil conditions that caused the original settling could shift again over many years.
