Driveway Lifting in Lehi, UT
Driveway lifting in Lehi, UT raises sunken slabs near the garage with polyurethane foam injection. Same-day results, free estimates.
Serving Saratoga Springs and nearby communities.
Why does the driveway sink right where it meets the garage? That spot sits over fill soil that got compacted fast during construction, and in Lehi's newer subdivisions that soil is still settling years after the slab was poured. Saratoga Springs Foundation Pros fixes this with polyurethane foam injection, raising the sunken panel back to grade instead of tearing out and repouring the whole driveway.

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
Garage-edge fill soil compacts unevenly on new-build lots. We use materials that lift the slab without adding load back onto soil that's still settling.
Polyurethane Foam
Provides lightweight lift without adding excess weight to soil that's still compacting under newer driveways.
Concrete Patch Mix
Used to seal access holes after injection work so the repair blends into the slab.
Joint Sealant
Reseals expansion joints disturbed during the lifting process to keep water out of the gap.
Surface Sealer
Protects the driveway from moisture and future cracking through freeze-thaw seasons.
Leveling Equipment
Ensures accurate measurement during the lifting procedure so panels match grade.
Bonding Primer
Improves patch adhesion to the original concrete surface so repairs hold.

DIY vs hiring a pro for Driveway Lifting
| DIY | Hire a pro |
|---|---|
| Sealing minor surface cracks with a concrete patch product | Lifting a slab that's sunk more than an inch, since uneven foam pressure can crack the panel further |

Driveway Lifting FAQs
How much does driveway lifting cost in Lehi?
A single sunken panel typically runs $400-$800. Larger jobs with multiple panels or drainage correction can reach $2,000-$4,000.
How long does driveway lifting take?
Most jobs are done in a few hours, and the driveway is drivable again the same day once the patch cures.
Do I need a permit for driveway lifting?
Usually not for a private slab. If the work extends to a public curb cut or street apron, check with the city first.
Is DIY driveway lifting a good idea?
Not for anything beyond a surface crack. Foam injection needs pressure control that a homeowner without equipment can't match, and a bad lift can crack the slab worse.
When should I call a pro for a sinking driveway?
Call once the dip near the garage is noticeable, especially if water starts pooling there or the gap at the garage threshold grows.
What affects driveway lifting pricing?
Slab size, number of sunken panels, depth of the void underneath, and whether slope correction is needed.
What's typically included in driveway lifting?
Assessment, foam injection, releveling to match adjoining slabs, and patching the access holes.
How do I prepare for a driveway lifting visit?
Move vehicles off the driveway and clear any items from the surface so the crew has full access.
