Cost-Effective Solutions for Driveway Slab Repair and Elevation
Driveway slab lifting is a process used to restore the levelness and stability of uneven or sunken concrete slabs. Over time, factors such as soil erosion, freeze-thaw cycles, and ground shifting can cause slabs to settle, creating safety hazards and aesthetic issues. Properly lifted and leveled slabs help prevent further damage, improve curb appeal, and ensure safety for pedestrians and vehicles.

The process of driveway slab lifting involves injecting a controlled mixture of polyurethane foam beneath the concrete to raise and stabilize the slab. This method is minimally invasive, quick, and effective for addressing common issues such as sinking, cracking, and uneven surfaces. The foam expands to fill voids and provides support, preventing further ground movement.
Typically, a professional can complete driveway slab lifting within a few hours, depending on the size and extent of the work. The procedure involves assessing the area, drilling small holes in the slab, injecting the foam, and then smoothing the surface if necessary. The entire process minimizes disruption and allows for immediate use of the driveway once completed.
