What Is Driveway Lifting?
Driveway lifting is the process of raising and leveling concrete slabs that have settled over time. In Utah, this is often caused by shifting soils, freeze-thaw cycles, or water erosion under your driveway. We offer both traditional mud jacking and advanced polyurethane foam lifting to deliver fast, long-lasting results.
Why Driveways Sink in Utah
Utah’s soil composition and climate are major contributors to concrete settlement. Here’s why your driveway might be sinking:
- Expansive clay soils that shrink and swell
- Poor initial compaction of subgrade
- Freeze-thaw cycles during the winter
- Excess moisture due to drainage issues or irrigation
- Age-related deterioration and erosion beneath slabs
Left unaddressed, these issues can worsen over time, leading to costly replacements and safety concerns.
Our Driveway Lifting Process
We follow a tried-and-true method to restore your driveway’s original height and slope:
- Inspection & Assessment – We evaluate the damage and recommend the best lifting technique.
- Drill & Inject – Small holes are drilled, and lifting material (mud or polyurethane foam) is injected beneath the slab.
- Precision Lifting – The material expands, lifting and leveling the concrete with precision.
- Seal & Clean – Holes are patched, and the surface is cleaned for immediate use.
Depending on the situation, we may recommend polylevel injection for fast-curing, lightweight foam that minimizes additional stress on weak soils.
Benefits of Driveway Lifting vs Replacement
| Benefit | Lifting | Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | More affordable | High material & labor costs |
| Time | Completed in hours | Takes days to cure |
| Eco-Friendly | Less waste, no tear-out | Requires concrete disposal |
| Curb Appeal | Immediate results | Longer wait to use |
| Durability | Long-lasting | Depends on new soil compaction |
When done right, concrete lifting can extend the life of your driveway by 10+ years.
