Serving North Salt Lake and nearby communities.

A driveway that's pulled away from the garage slab or dipped near the street usually means a void opened up underneath, not that the concrete itself failed. North Salt Lake sees that void form from freeze-thaw cycling under the slab edge and from runoff working its way under the pour during spring snowmelt. North Salt Lake Foundation Pros lifts the sunken panel back to grade with foam injection instead of pulling out the driveway and repouring it.

This is a slab-lifting job, not a foundation repair, so there's no excavation and no multi-day timeline. Small holes go in, foam goes under, the panel comes up, and the driveway is drivable again the same day .

How it works

How Our Driveway Lifting Process Works

Step 1
Driveway Inspection
Sunken or sloped sections are identified for correction.
Step 2
Access Drilling
Small holes are drilled at strategic points along the driveway.
Step 3
Foam Injection
Expanding foam is pumped beneath the slab to raise it evenly.
Step 4
Slope Correction
The surface is adjusted to restore proper drainage direction.
Step 5
Hole Sealing
Drilled holes are patched to blend with the existing surface.
Step 6
Surface Review
The driveway is inspected for even, stable elevation.

Materials

Materials and Methods for Driveway Lifting

A driveway panel has to carry vehicle weight without re-settling, so the fill material and patch work matter as much as the lift itself.

Polyurethane Foam
Provides lightweight lift without adding excess weight to the soil, which matters on North Salt Lake's bench-to-valley fill where added mass can restart settlement.
Concrete Patch Mix
Used to seal access holes after injection work for a flush, drivable finish.
Joint Sealant
Reseals expansion joints disturbed during the lifting process, keeping winter meltwater from re-entering the void.
Surface Sealer
Protects the driveway from moisture and future cracking through freeze-thaw seasons.
Leveling Equipment
Ensures accurate measurement during the lifting procedure so the panel matches the garage slab height exactly.
Bonding Primer
Improves patch adhesion to the original concrete surface so repairs don't separate later.

Cost

What Does a Driveway Lifting Cost in North Salt Lake?

Cost on a driveway lift tracks panel size and how many access points the foam needs to reach the full void, not the overall driveway length. Get a free estimate and a crew can give you an exact number after looking at the panel and the void underneath.

Project type	Typical range	What’s included
Single panel lift	$400–$900	one sunken section near the garage or street apron.
Multi-panel lift	$900–$2,200	two or more panels raised in the same visit.
Full driveway releveling	$2,200–$4,500	slope correction across the whole slab run.

These are typical local ballparks — final cost depends on scope, materials, and site conditions. A free estimate gives you an accurate, itemized number for your home.

FAQs

Driveway Lifting FAQs

How much does driveway lifting cost in North Salt Lake?

Most single-panel lifts run $400–$900. Multi-panel jobs and full driveway releveling cost more depending on how many sections need foam.

How long does driveway lifting take?

A single panel typically takes 1-2 hours to drill, inject, and patch. The driveway is usually drivable the same day once the patch sets.

Do I need a permit for driveway lifting?

Standard slab lifting usually doesn't need a permit. If the work connects to structural foundation repair, a permit may apply.

Is DIY driveway lifting a good idea?

No. Lifting requires pressure-controlled injection equipment to raise the slab evenly without cracking it, which isn't a tool a homeowner has on hand.

When should I call a pro for driveway lifting?

Call once you see a gap at the garage threshold, a sunken panel, or water pooling instead of draining toward the street.

What affects driveway lifting pricing?

Panel count, void size, and whether slope correction is needed beyond the sunken section.

Does driveway lifting last as long as a full replacement?

Properly injected polyurethane foam resists water and won't break down the way soil fill does, so the lift holds as long as the slab itself stays sound.

What's typically included in a driveway lifting job?

Inspection, access drilling, foam injection, and hole patching are standard. Full-driveway slope correction is scoped separately if multiple panels are affected.
