Materials
Materials:
Driveway lifting targets the slab that's sinking right at the garage apron, which is one of the most common calls we get in Orem. The transition from driveway to garage floor sits over compacted fill that moves differently from the rest of the driveway, and freeze-thaw cycles through an Orem winter compact that fill a little more every year until there's a visible dip.
Orem Foundation Pros drills the affected panels, injects polyurethane foam underneath, and lifts them back to meet the garage slab evenly, correcting both the trip hazard and the drainage direction at the same time.

FAQs
Driveway Lifting FAQs
Why does my driveway keep sinking by the garage every spring?
The fill soil under the garage apron compacts differently than the rest of the driveway, and snowmelt plus freeze-thaw cycles speed that up each year until there's a noticeable dip.
Is polyurethane foam as good as mudjacking or full replacement?
Foam cures faster, weighs less, and holds up well against the same soil shifting that caused the original sinking. It costs a fraction of full replacement.
Can I drive on it the same day?
Most foam injections are solid enough for vehicle weight within a few hours.
Will this fix the water pooling by my garage?
Lifting the slab back to grade and correcting the slope redirects water away from the garage, which is usually the root of the pooling.
Do I need a permit for this?
Foam injection on an existing slab doesn't require a permit. Confirm if your driveway connects to a city storm drain.
