Roy Foundation Pros
Driveway Lifting in Roy, UT
Driveway lifting in Roy, UT raises sunken slabs with polyurethane foam injection, restoring drainage and curb appeal fast.
Serving Roy and nearby communities.
Why does your driveway slope toward the garage instead of away from it? Settled soil under one section of slab is the usual answer, and it's a fixable problem without replacing the whole driveway. Roy Foundation Pros raises sunken driveway sections with polyurethane foam injection, correcting slope and eliminating the tripping or pooling issues that come with an uneven slab.
Driveways in Roy's older subdivisions were often poured without the deep compacted base modern driveways use, which is part of why settlement shows up decades later.

Materials and Methods for Driveway Lifting
We choose injection pattern and material based on slab thickness and the degree of settlement.
Polyurethane Foam
Provides lightweight lift without adding excess weight to the soil, reducing the chance of future settlement.
Concrete Patch Mix
Used to seal access holes after injection work for a clean finish.
Joint Sealant
Reseals expansion joints disturbed during the lifting process to keep water out.
Surface Sealer
Protects the driveway from moisture and future cracking through winter freeze-thaw cycles.
Leveling Equipment
Ensures accurate measurement during the lifting procedure.
Bonding Primer
Improves patch adhesion to the original concrete surface.

Driveway Lifting FAQs
What causes a driveway to sink?
Soil compaction or erosion under the slab lets one section settle lower than the rest, often worsened by Roy's freeze-thaw cycles.
How much does driveway lifting cost?
Most jobs run $800 to $4,500 depending on driveway size and how many sections need correction. We give exact numbers after a site visit.
Will driveway lifting fix drainage toward my garage?
Correcting the slope is one of the main reasons homeowners call for driveway lifting, since it redirects water away from the garage entry.
How long before I can park on the driveway again?
Most driveways can handle vehicle weight within 24 hours of the lift.
Is driveway lifting cheaper than replacement?
Lifting an existing slab typically costs significantly less than removing and repouring a new driveway.
Can you lift just one section of a multi-slab driveway?
We can target the settled section without disturbing stable slabs nearby.
