Is your driveway sinking, cracking, or uneven?

That lip between the garage and driveway scrapes your undercarriage every time you pull in. With Edmonton’s 50-plus freeze-thaw cycles a year, a small drop gets worse each winter, and more expensive to fix.

A sunken or uneven driveway is one of Edmonton’s most common concrete problems, and one of the most fixable. Whether it’s a garage apron that’s dropped an inch or two or whole slabs that have settled over years of freeze-thaw, you probably don’t need to replace it. Poly Lift Solutions is owner-operated, and the owner is on every driveway we lift.

Driveway leveling with polyurethane foam, also called driveway lifting, polyjacking, foam jacking, or the modern mudjacking alternative, raises sunken concrete back to level in 2–3 hours, and you’re driving on it the same day. No demolition, no week-long cure, no torn-up yard. There’s a bonus, too: water that pools on a sunken driveway runs back toward your foundation. Leveling it sends that water away from the house.

Why Edmonton driveways sink

Alberta’s climate is hard on concrete. Here’s what’s happening under your driveway, and why foam lifts it better than mudjacking can:

Frost heaveWater seeps under the slab, freezes, expands, and thaws, lifting and dropping the concrete until the damage is permanent.
Spring thaw erosionFast snowmelt rushes under the slab and washes out the supporting soil, leaving voids that lead to sinking and cracks.
Vehicle weightA driveway carries thousands of pounds daily. On poorly compacted soil, that weight slowly compresses the ground and the slab settles.
Downspout runoffDownspouts that drain near the driveway erode the soil season after season. It’s one of the most preventable causes of settlement.

Why foam beats mudjacking for driveways

Drive same dayFoam cures in ~15 min. Slurry needs 24–48 hrs.
Ultra lightweight~2 lb/ft³ vs ~100 lb for slurry, with no added soil stress.
WaterproofFoam won’t wash out or erode. Slurry can.
Smaller holes5/8" injection points vs 1.5–2" for mudjacking.
No excavationCompact gear, so no damage to landscaping or curbs.
Keeps your concreteNo rip-out and re-pour, so far less cost.

Our driveway leveling process

1

Free assessment — We inspect the driveway, find the cause of settlement, and send a written quote. No surprises.

2

Precision drilling — Small 5/8" holes at strategic points, far smaller than mudjacking needs.

3

Foam injection — High-density polyurethane expands under the slab, fills voids, and lifts with controlled, steady pressure.

4

Real-time monitoring — We watch the lift with laser levels and stop at the exact elevation for a smooth, even surface, matched to your garage floor.

5

Patch & drive — We patch the holes to blend with the concrete. Foam cures in about 15 minutes, so you walk on it right away and drive on it the same day.

Poly Lifting in Action

Fixing the driveway? Do the sidewalk at the same time

Most driveways that sink have a walkway or front step doing the same thing, because the same soil is under all of it. We can level the driveway, sidewalk, and steps in one visit for a single trip charge, which is the cheapest way to get it all done. Ask when you call.

Driveway leveling questions

Can you lift a driveway that’s cracked?

Usually, yes. Cracks don’t stop foam leveling, and we can lift a cracked slab as long as the concrete is still structurally sound. Leveling often keeps cracks from getting worse, because it removes the movement that opens them up. If a slab is too far gone, we’ll tell you at the free assessment.

How much does driveway leveling cost in Edmonton?

Most driveway leveling jobs are done in 2 to 3 hours with same-day use, and cost a fraction of full replacement, which can run $10,000 or more and leave the driveway unusable for a week or longer. Most homeowners save 50 to 70 percent. We give you a fixed price after a free on-site assessment.

How much can you lift a sunken driveway?

Foam lifts by controlling injection pressure and volume, so we can raise a slab several inches when the situation calls for it. Most driveways only need 1 to 3 inches. We watch the rise in real time and stop at the exact level needed, so there’s no guesswork.

Will the foam damage my garage floor?

No. We lift the driveway to meet your existing garage floor, injecting foam under the driveway slab only. Laser levels keep the lift aligned with the garage floor so the two meet cleanly.

How long will the repair last?

The polyurethane is waterproof, won’t decompose, and holds its shape. Unlike mudjacking slurry, which can wash out or erode, foam is inert and permanent. As long as the concrete itself stays sound, so does the lift — and every job is backed by our written warranty.

When is the best time to level a driveway in Edmonton?

We work year-round, but spring after the thaw and fall before the freeze are ideal. Spring fixes winter damage before it grows; fall stops water from pooling and freezing over the coming winter. Call us and we’ll advise on timing for your situation.

Can you level just one section of a driveway?

Yes. We can lift a single sunken panel, like the garage apron, without touching the rest, and blend it to match. If several slabs have moved, we’ll walk you through what’s worth doing at the assessment.
