Driveway Lifting & Leveling
A sunken driveway slab is more than ugly. It pools water, cracks further every winter, and pitches runoff at your foundation. We assess the slab and explain whether lifting can restore a useful elevation.
Driveways settle when water erodes the soil underneath, leaving the slab without solid support. This often happens along garage edges and drainage paths. Settlement can create a lip at the garage floor or change the direction of runoff.
We drill a few ⅜-inch holes, inject expanding polyurethane foam under the slab, and watch it rise back to level. The foam cures in minutes, so you can usually park on it the same day. Lifting can avoid the demolition involved in replacement when the existing concrete is suitable. Pricing depends on the on-site assessment.
Signs it’s time
- A lip where the driveway meets the garage floor
- Slabs pitched toward the foundation
- Cracks that step up or down at the joint
- Water pooling after rain
Planning your concrete repair
We inspect the height difference at the garage, joints between panels, cracks, and the direction water drains. A low driveway apron may be a good candidate when the slab is intact and there is room to raise it without creating a new drainage problem.
When a different repair may be needed
Lifting changes the position of existing concrete. It does not remove surface wear or erase cracks. Severely broken panels may need replacement, and runoff or downspout problems should be addressed to help prevent further erosion.
What affects the cost?
The area of concrete, the amount of settlement, the space beneath the slab, and access to the work all affect the quote. We inspect and measure your project in person, then email a written quote. There is no job minimum, and we do not estimate from photos alone.
Our polyurethane lifting process uses ⅜-inch injection holes and foam weighing about 4 pounds per cubic foot. We discuss the expected lift, patching, and return to use for your particular project before scheduling the work.
Can you lift the driveway where it meets the garage?
We assess settled driveway panels at garage entrances in person. The goal is to reduce the height difference while accounting for the garage floor, neighboring slabs, and drainage. We explain the achievable result before you accept a quote.
