A driveway that dips near the garage apron or cracks at the panel joints is usually telling you the soil underneath has washed out or compacted unevenly. Midvale Foundation Pros lifts sunken driveway slabs with polyurethane foam injection, which fills the void and raises the panel back to grade without the cost or mess of tearing out the whole driveway.
Midvale sees enough freeze-thaw cycling each winter that small voids under a slab tend to grow year over year if they're not addressed. Catching it early with a lift usually costs a fraction of a full replacement.

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
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.
Materials
Materials and methods for Driveway Lifting
Polyurethane Foam
Provides lightweight lift without adding excess weight to soil that's already struggling under seasonal moisture swings.
Concrete Patch Mix
Used to seal access holes after injection work so they're barely visible.
Joint Sealant
Reseals expansion joints disturbed during the lifting process, keeping water from seeping back under the slab.
Surface Sealer
Protects the driveway from moisture and future cracking after the lift.
Leveling Equipment
Ensures accurate measurement during the lifting procedure so panels match at the joints.
Bonding Primer
Improves patch adhesion to the original concrete surface.

| Sealing hairline surface cracks | Any panel sunk more than half an inch |

Driveway Lifting FAQs
Do I need to replace my sinking driveway or can it be lifted?
It can be lifted. Replacement only makes sense if the slab is badly cracked or structurally failed.
How much does driveway lifting cost?
Pricing depends on the number of panels affected and how much foam is needed to fill the void underneath. We give a firm number after an on-site look.
How long before I can drive on it?
Most lifted driveways are ready to drive on within a few hours of the injection curing.
Will the lift hold through winter?
As long as the underlying drainage issue causing the void is addressed, which we check during the assessment.
Can you match the slope so water drains properly?
Slope correction is part of the lifting process when drainage is part of the problem.
