Why is a driveway slab always the one that sinks near the garage? It's usually the soil underneath settling or washing out after years of water running off the roofline onto the same spot. Provo Foundation Pros lifts sunken driveway sections with polyurethane foam injected through dime-sized drill holes, raising the slab back to grade without a tear-out.
Driveway settling around Provo often shows up worst near the garage approach, where runoff concentrates and the Wasatch bench soil mix shifts with repeated wetting and drying. Foam injection fills the void under the slab directly, which holds up better than a mudjacking-style slurry that can wash out again after the next heavy snowmelt.

Driveway Lifting FAQs
How much does driveway lifting cost in Provo?
A spot lift near the garage typically runs $400–$900. A full driveway relevel across multiple slabs usually runs $1,200–$3,500.
How long does driveway lifting take?
Most driveway lifts finish in a few hours, with the slab usable for foot traffic the same day and vehicle traffic within 24 hours.
Is polyurethane foam lifting cheaper than replacing the slab?
Usually significantly. Foam injection avoids demolition and new concrete costs, often running a fraction of a full tear-out and repour.
Why does my driveway keep sinking near the garage?
Runoff concentrates at the garage approach and gradually washes out soil beneath the slab. If the root drainage issue isn't addressed, the slab can settle again even after a lift.
Can I DIY driveway lifting?
Sealing small cracks is fine on your own. Actually raising a sunken slab needs foam injection equipment most homeowners don't own, and a bad DIY attempt can trap water under the slab.
Will the repaired driveway look different from the rest?
Access holes are patched with a matching compound and blend in close up. From a normal viewing distance, a repaired slab looks consistent with the rest of the driveway.
Materials
Materials and Methods for Driveway Lifting
Driveway slabs take vehicle weight daily, so the lifting method has to hold up under load without adding the dead weight that caused the settling.
Polyurethane Foam
Provides lightweight lift without adding excess weight to the soil, important on Wasatch bench soil that's already prone to shifting.
Concrete Patch Mix
Used to seal access holes after injection work so the surface reads consistent.
Joint Sealant
Reseals expansion joints disturbed during the lifting process to keep runoff out of the gap.
Surface Sealer
Protects the driveway from moisture and future cracking through freeze-thaw winters.
Leveling Equipment
Ensures accurate measurement during the lifting procedure.
Bonding Primer
Improves patch adhesion to the original concrete surface for a repair that lasts.
