Sidewalk Lifting in Draper, UT
Sidewalk Lifting in Draper, UT: polyjacking lifts trip-hazard panels flush in hours, free estimates, no mudjacking mess.
Serving Draper and nearby communities.
A sidewalk panel that's an inch or two proud of its neighbor isn't just an eyesore, it's a trip hazard waiting for an HOA notice or worse. On Draper's bench lots, backfill soil around walkways settles unevenly after spring runoff, and freeze-thaw cycles keep nudging panels out of alignment year after year. Draper Foundation Pros lifts those slabs back to grade with polyjacking instead of tearing out and repouring concrete you'd otherwise have to wait days to cure.
What's included
What's included with Sidewalk Lifting
Typically included: panel-by-panel trip hazard assessment, drilling, hydrophobic foam injection, and hole patching to match the surrounding surface. Optional: joint resealing along the full walkway run if multiple panels are out of alignment. Customer prep: clear the walkway of planters, furniture, or stored items 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, important on bench lots where soil keeps shifting after snowmelt.
Patch Mix
Fills access holes to restore a flush surface finish that holds up through freeze-thaw winters.
Joint Sealant
Reseals joints between slabs after lifting is complete, keeping meltwater from re-softening the base.
Surface Protectant
Helps guard repaired areas from weather exposure common along the Wasatch Front.
Alignment Gauge
Used to measure slab height differences during the process so every panel sits flush.
Bonding Primer
Improves patch material adhesion to original concrete so the repair doesn't chip loose.

FAQs
Sidewalk Lifting FAQs
Do I need a permit to lift a sunken sidewalk in Draper?
Private walkways on your own property usually don't need a permit. If the sidewalk sits in the public right-of-way, it can fall under city or county review, and which office applies depends on whether your home is on the Salt Lake County or Utah County side of Draper.
How much does sidewalk lifting cost?
Pricing is based on panel count and how far out of level each one is, generally landing well below a full tear-out and repour.
Is polyjacking better than mudjacking for a sidewalk?
Yes. Hydrophobic polyurethane foam weighs a fraction of mud slurry, cures in minutes, and won't oversaturate the soil underneath like a mud mix can.
Can I patch a trip hazard myself?
A asphalt ramp or shim patch over the edge is a temporary fix at best and usually doesn't meet code. It leaves the underlying void unaddressed, so the panel keeps settling.
Will the repaired sidewalk match the rest of the walkway?
Patched holes are finished to blend with the surrounding concrete, though slight color variation is normal until weathering evens it out.
How soon can I use the sidewalk after lifting?
Most panels are walkable within an hour since the foam reaches working strength quickly.
