The garage apron is usually the first part of a driveway to sink, and on Alpine's sloped lots it's a common complaint. That section carries vehicle weight every day while sitting right at the transition point where grading was originally cut into the hillside, and soil there tends to settle before the rest of the slab does.
Alpine Foundation Pros fixes this with polyurethane concrete lifting instead of pulling out and repouring the slab. Hydrophobic foam injected through small drill holes lifts the section back to match the garage threshold, and it holds up under daily vehicle weight and Utah's freeze-thaw cycling better than the sand or mud used in older lifting methods.

What does a Driveway Lifting cost in Alpine?
Price depends on slab size and how deep the void beneath it runs.
| Project type | Typical range | What’s included |
|---|---|---|
| Single garage apron section | $600–$1,500, | most common single-slab job. |
| Full driveway lift | $1,500–$4,000, | multiple connected slabs. |
| Severe void fill | $3,000–$6,000, | deeper settlement requiring more foam. |
| Slope correction add-on | $300–$800, | fine-tuning drainage direction. |
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.

DIY vs Hiring a Pro for Driveway Lifting
| DIY | Hire a pro |
|---|---|
| Sealing minor surface cracks with a concrete sealant | Foam injection under vehicle-weight slabs needs pressure control equipment |
| Monitoring a small dip to see if it's actually worsening | Matching lift height to the garage threshold precisely |
| — | Any slab that's sinking progressively rather than settled once |

Driveway Lifting FAQs
Why does my driveway sink near the garage specifically?
That section carries the most vehicle weight and sits at a grading transition point, so soil compaction issues show up there first, especially on Alpine's sloped lots.
How much does driveway lifting cost in Alpine?
A single garage apron section typically runs $600 to $1,500. A full driveway lift with multiple slabs runs higher. Get a free estimate for an exact number.
How long does driveway lifting take?
Most jobs take a few hours, and the driveway is drivable the same day once the foam cures.
Do I need a permit to lift my driveway?
Usually not, since you're releveling an existing slab rather than adding new structure.
Is polyjacking better than mudjacking for a driveway?
Yes. Foam is lightweight and won't add extra load to settling soil, and it resists moisture better than mud-based lifting methods, which matters with Utah's freeze-thaw cycles.
Will my driveway need to be replaced instead?
Only if the slab itself is badly cracked or structurally failed. Most sinking driveways are a soil problem, not a concrete problem, so lifting is usually cheaper and faster than replacement.
How it works
Our process
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 we use
Polyurethane Foam
Provides lightweight lift without adding excess weight to the soil.
Concrete Patch Mix
Used to seal access holes after injection work.
Joint Sealant
Reseals expansion joints disturbed during the lifting process.
Surface Sealer
Protects the driveway from moisture and future cracking.
Leveling Equipment
Ensures accurate measurement during the lifting procedure.
Bonding Primer
Improves patch adhesion to the original concrete surface.
