Why is your driveway sinking right where it meets the garage? That transition point is one of the most common spots for settling on Highland's graded bench lots, where soil compaction near the house often doesn't match the rest of the driveway slab. Highland Foundation Pros lifts sunken driveway panels with polyurethane foam injection, a same-day fix that doesn't involve tearing out the concrete.
This is a separate service from full foundation piering: driveway lifting addresses a settled slab, not a structural foundation issue, though the two sometimes get called out on the same visit.

Materials and methods for Driveway Lifting
Only three materials actually do the work on a driveway lifting job, so there's no need to pad the list.
Polyurethane Foam
Provides lightweight lift without adding excess weight to the soil, which matters on slopes where additional load could cause future settling.
Concrete Patch Mix
Used to seal access holes after injection work, blending in with the existing driveway surface.
Joint Sealant
Reseals expansion joints disturbed during the lifting process, keeping water from working its way back under the slab.
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.

FAQs
Driveway Lifting FAQs
How much does driveway lifting cost in Highland?
Cost depends on how many panels need lifting, how far they've settled, and total square footage. A free estimate gives you an exact number.
Is polyurethane foam strong enough to support a vehicle driveway?
The foam used for driveway lifting is rated for vehicle loads and cures within hours, well before most people need to drive on it again.
How soon can I drive on my driveway after it's lifted?
Typically within a couple hours for foot traffic and the same day for vehicles, though we'll give you a specific window based on the job.
Will the drill holes be visible after the repair?
The holes are patched with a color-matched compound, so they blend in reasonably well, though a slight texture difference is sometimes visible up close.
Do I need a permit to lift my driveway?
Usually not, since it's leveling existing concrete rather than new construction. Confirm with your city if your driveway ties into a public street apron.
Can a driveway sink again after being lifted?
It's possible if the underlying soil issue isn't addressed, but foam injection fills the void that caused the original settling, which reduces that risk significantly.
