Serving Springville and nearby communities.

A driveway that sinks near the garage is usually losing soil support from erosion or compaction loss under that section, while the rest of the slab stays put. Driveway lifting raises just the low section back to level using foam injection, instead of replacing the whole driveway over one sunken spot.

Seasonal freeze-thaw cycling moves soil under driveway slabs more than most homeowners expect. That's why the same low spot tends to reappear a few years after a patch job. Springville Foundation Pros measures exactly which slabs have dropped and by how much before drilling, so the fix targets the actual void instead of just the visible gap.

How it works

How our Driveway Lifting process works

  1. Driveway Inspection photo
    Step 1

    Driveway Inspection

    Sunken or sloped sections get identified and measured across the slab.

  2. Access Drilling photo
    Step 2

    Access Drilling

    Small holes go in at strategic points along the low sections.

  3. Foam Injection photo
    Step 3

    Foam Injection

    Expanding foam is pumped beneath the slab to raise it evenly.

  4. Slope Correction photo
    Step 4

    Slope Correction

    The surface gets adjusted so water drains away from the garage, not toward it.

  5. Hole Sealing photo
    Step 5

    Hole Sealing

    Drilled holes are patched to blend with the surrounding driveway.

  6. Surface Review photo
    Step 6

    Surface Review

    The driveway is checked for even, stable elevation across all slabs.

Materials

Materials and methods for Driveway Lifting

  • Polyurethane Foam photo

    Polyurethane Foam

    Lightweight and expanding, it lifts the slab without adding the extra weight that re-compacts already-loosened soil.

  • Concrete Patch Mix photo

    Concrete Patch Mix

    Seals access holes after injection so the repair blends into the driveway surface.

  • Joint Sealant photo

    Joint Sealant

    Reseals expansion joints disturbed during lifting, keeping water out through winter freeze-thaw.

  • Surface Sealer photo

    Surface Sealer

    Protects the driveway from moisture intrusion and future surface cracking.

  • Leveling Equipment photo

    Leveling Equipment

    Measures elevation across multiple slabs to confirm an even lift.

  • Bonding Primer photo

    Bonding Primer

    Improves patch adhesion to the original slab so repairs hold under vehicle weight.

FAQs

Driveway Lifting FAQs

Why is my driveway sinking near the garage?

Soil compaction loss and erosion under that section are the usual causes, often made worse by runoff concentrating near the garage during spring snowmelt. The rest of the driveway on more stable soil stays level while that spot drops.

How long does it take for a sinking driveway slab to get fixed?

Most residential driveway lifting jobs complete in a single day, and the driveway is usually ready for vehicle use the same day.

How much does driveway lifting cost versus full replacement?

Foam lifting typically costs significantly less than tearing out and repouring a driveway, since it avoids demolition and disposal costs. An on-site look gives an accurate range for your specific driveway.

Will the sunken spot come back after lifting?

If the original cause was a one-time compaction issue, the lift generally holds. If water continues eroding soil under the slab, addressing drainage alongside the lift gives a more lasting result.

Do I need a permit to lift a driveway slab?

Lifting an existing slab in place usually doesn't require a permit. Full driveway replacement tied to grading changes may need one, worth checking with the city first.

Can I patch a sunken driveway edge myself instead of lifting it?

A surface patch covers the visible gap but doesn't fill the void underneath, so the edge usually sinks again. Foam injection fills that void directly.
