A driveway sinking near the garage apron is one of the first signs of fill-soil settlement on newer South Jordan and Herriman lots. Herriman Foundation Pros lifts sunken driveway slabs with polyurethane foam injection, correcting the grade so water drains away from the garage instead of pooling against it.
Full slab replacement means tear-out, disposal, and days of curing before you can park again. Foam injection raises the existing slab back to grade. It's typically drivable the same day.
Cost
What drives driveway lifting cost
Pricing depends on how much of the slab needs lifting and how far it has to travel to get back to grade. A single sunken corner near the garage costs less to correct than a driveway that's settled across its full length. Deeper voids take more foam, and foam volume is the main cost driver on any lifting job.
Access also matters. A driveway with a steep slope or tight side yard takes longer to set up than a flat, open approach. We walk the slab, probe for void depth, and give a written number before any drilling starts, not a phone-quote guess.

How long a driveway lifting job takes
- 01
Stage 1
Most driveway lifting jobs finish in a few hours.
- 02
Stage 2
The crew drills the access holes, injects foam in stages so the slab rises evenly instead of cracking, and checks slope with a level as they go.
- 03
Stage 3
Once the foam sets, which only takes about 15 minutes, the slab is ready to drive on.
- 04
Stage 4
Larger driveways with multiple sunken sections can run a full day, but there's no multi-day curing window like you'd get with a torn-out and repoured slab.

Permits for driveway lifting
Most driveway lifting work on private property doesn't trigger a permit since nothing new is being built and no structure is added, just void-filling under an existing slab. If your driveway lifting project turns into a full replacement, or the work extends into the public right-of-way near the street, check with South Jordan or Herriman before scheduling. We'll flag it during the estimate if your specific job looks like it needs a permit on file.

DIY vs hiring a pro for driveway lifting
A homeowner can rent a small foam kit and attempt a DIY patch on a hairline gap, but even pressure and controlled lift depth are hard to manage without the right equipment. Foam pumped in too fast or unevenly can crack the slab further instead of fixing it, and a kit meant for small gaps won't reach a void that extends under the full width of a garage apron.
Professional injection equipment lets us control pressure at each hole and check slope with a level as the slab rises, so the driveway settles into the correct grade instead of a rough approximation of it.

When to call for driveway lifting
Call if you're seeing a step down where the driveway meets the garage floor, a widening gap at a slab joint, or water pooling on the driveway instead of running toward the street. Cracking that follows a slab edge, instead of running randomly, is also a sign the slab has shifted and needs lifting rather than just patching. Catching it early keeps the fix to a single lift instead of a bigger repair down the road.

Our process
Step 1Driveway Inspection

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.

Driveway lifting FAQs
How much does driveway lifting cost in South Jordan?
Cost depends on how much of the slab is sunken and how deep the void is underneath. We measure both on-site and give a written number before drilling.
Is driveway lifting cheaper than replacing the slab?
Since lifting skips demolition, disposal, and a multi-day curing window. Replacement makes sense if the slab itself is cracked badly or structurally failed.
Will the driveway crack during the lifting process?
Foam is injected in stages so the slab rises evenly. Controlled pressure is what keeps the slab intact during the lift.
Do I need a permit for driveway lifting?
Most private driveway lifting doesn't require one. Work near the public right-of-way or full replacement jobs sometimes do, and we'll flag that during the estimate.
How soon can I park on the driveway after lifting?
The foam sets in about 15 minutes, and most driveways are drivable the same day once the crew finishes.
