A driveway sinking near the garage is one of the most common calls Lehi Foundation Pros gets from newer subdivisions, where fill soil under the slab hasn't finished compacting. Rather than tearing out and replacing the slab, polyurethane foam injection lifts the sunken section back into place through a few dime-sized drill holes, finished in hours instead of days.
This only works on slabs that are still structurally sound. If the concrete itself is cracked through or crumbling, replacement is the better call, and Lehi Foundation Pros will tell you that honestly during the inspection.

How Our Driveway Lifting Process Works
Step 1Driveway Inspection

Step 2Access Drilling
Small holes are drilled at strategic points along the driveway.
Step 3Foam Injection
Expanding foam is pumped beneath the slab to raise it evenly.
Step 4Slope Correction
The surface is adjusted to restore proper drainage direction.
Step 5Hole Sealing
Drilled holes are patched to blend with the existing surface.
Step 6Surface Review
The driveway is inspected for even, stable elevation.

DIY vs Hiring a Pro for Driveway Lifting
| DIY | Hire a pro |
|---|---|
| Watching the sunken area over a season to see if it's still actively settling before scheduling a repair. | Lifting the actual slab, since uneven injection pressure from a DIY kit can crack the concrete further or lift it unevenly. |
| Filling small surface cracks with a basic concrete crack filler as a stopgap. | Matching slope correctly so water drains away from the garage instead of toward it. |

FAQs
Driveway Lifting FAQs
What's causing my driveway to sink near the garage?
Fill soil under newer driveways often hasn't fully compacted, and that settlement shows up first near the garage apron where the slab edge carries less support.
What's the difference between polyurethane foam lifting and mudjacking?
Polyurethane foam is lightweight and won't erode or wash out over time the way mudjacking slurry can. It also cures faster, usually letting you use the driveway the same day.
Is concrete lifting cheaper than replacing a slab?
Yes. Lifting an existing slab that's still structurally sound typically costs a fraction of a full tear-out and replacement.
Do I need a permit to lift my driveway in Lehi?
Usually not, since you're correcting an existing slab rather than doing new construction. Confirm specifics if your driveway touches a public right-of-way.
How long does driveway lifting take?
Most jobs are completed the same day, and the driveway is usually ready to drive on within a few hours.
Can every sunken driveway be lifted instead of replaced?
No. If the slab is cracked through or crumbling, lifting won't hold. An inspection tells you which option actually makes sense.
