A driveway sinking right at the garage transition is one of the most common calls American Fork Foundation Pros gets from newer subdivisions. Fill soil under the slab compacts over the first few years, and the driveway settles faster than the attached garage floor, leaving a noticeable step or trip hazard.
Polyjacking fixes that without replacing the slab. Foam goes in through small drilled holes, fills the gap left by the settled soil, and raises the driveway back to meet the garage floor.

What's included
Typically included: slab assessment, access hole drilling, foam injection, grade matching to the garage slab, hole patching. Optional: joint resealing along expansion joints disturbed during the lift. Customer prep: move vehicles off the driveway, clear the surface before the crew arrives.

How our Driveway Lifting process works
Step 1Driveway Inspection
Sunken or sloped sections are identified for correction.
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

Step 5Hole Sealing
Drilled holes are patched to blend with the existing surface.
Step 6Surface Review
The driveway is inspected for even, stable elevation.
Materials
Materials and methods for Driveway Lifting
Driveways carry vehicle loads, so the lift material has to hold under weight without adding mass to the soil below.
Polyurethane Foam
lifts without adding excess weight to already-compacting fill soil, cures fast enough for same-day vehicle use.
Concrete Patch Mix
seals access holes after injection work.
Joint Sealant
reseals expansion joints disturbed during the lifting process.
Surface Sealer
protects the driveway from moisture and future cracking.
Leveling Equipment
ensures accurate measurement during the lift.
Bonding Primer
improves patch adhesion to the original concrete.

DIY vs hiring a pro for Driveway Lifting
| DIY | Hire a pro |
|---|---|
| Sealing minor surface cracks with concrete caulk | Any actual lifting, since uneven foam injection under a driveway can crack it further without proper pressure control |
| Watching a slight step develop over a season before deciding to act | Driveways with a noticeable trip hazard at the garage transition |
| — | Slabs supporting regular vehicle weight, where lift precision matters |

FAQs
Driveway Lifting FAQs
How much does it cost to lift a sunken driveway slab?
Most sections run $1,000 to $3,000 depending on square footage and sink depth. A free estimate gives the exact number for your driveway.
How long before I can drive on a lifted driveway?
Polyurethane foam cures within a few hours, so most driveways are ready for vehicle use the same day.
Will the driveway sink again after lifting?
Foam fills the existing void and doesn't add weight that compacts further soil. Most lifted driveways hold, barring new drainage issues.
Can I lift just part of my driveway?
Foam injection targets only the sunken sections. The rest of the slab stays untouched.
Is driveway lifting cheaper than replacement?
Typically 50-80% less than a full tear-out and repour.
