A sunken, tripping driveway doesn't mean tear-out. We inject high-density polyurethane foam to raise your slab back toward its original position — most jobs finish the same day, and you can drive on it within about an hour.
Utah driveways carry serious weight every day, and what's underneath them often wasn't built to hold up. When the sub-base shifts, the slab follows.
Newer subdivisions across Utah County are built on fill that was never fully compacted. Years of cars and trucks rolling over the same spots press that loose soil down, and the driveway settles into the gap.
Much of the Wasatch Front sits on clay that swells when wet and shrinks when dry. That constant movement lifts and drops the slab unevenly, opening voids beneath it.
Soft former lakebed sediments compress under load. Combined with vehicle traffic, they let driveways drift downward over time.
Utah's freeze-thaw cycles heave the soil, while downspouts and poor drainage wash out the sub-base near the edges. Water finds the path of least resistance and erodes the support right out from under the concrete.
Settling usually shows up where the driveway meets the garage. Here's what homeowners notice first.
The most common one: a raised edge or drop-off where the driveway meets the garage floor or apron. It catches toes, scrapes bumpers, and only gets worse as the slab keeps sinking.
A driveway should shed water away from the house. If sections are pitched back toward the garage and puddles sit after a storm, the slab has settled out of position.
Long cracks, panels at different heights, and joints pulling apart all point to uneven support underneath rather than surface wear.
If daylight or a growing gap appears under the closed garage door, the apron has dropped away from where it started.
It's a clean, fast process that works around your slab instead of replacing it. Beehive installs foam only.
We drill injection ports about ⅝ inch across — roughly the width of a dime — through the driveway at the low points.
High-density polyurethane foam goes in through the ports. It expands underground, fills the voids, and gently raises the slab back toward its original position.
The foam cures in about 15 minutes. The slab is walkable within roughly 15 minutes and driveable within about an hour.
We patch the small holes to blend in. Most residential driveways finish in just a few hours, same day, with no slab to haul away.
Lifting your existing driveway runs far less than tearing it out and pouring new concrete — and there's no week of curing or torn-up yard to deal with.
Most residential driveway jobs run $1,000–$2,500, depending on slab size, the number of injection points, and how far it has settled — roughly half the cost of full tear-out and replacement. Every job starts with a free inspection and an upfront written price, so you know the number before any work begins. There's no deposit — you pay when the work's done, and financing and flexible payment options are available.
The foam is injected through small ⅝-inch ports and expands evenly to support the slab from below, so it lifts the concrete gradually rather than forcing it. Existing cracks may close up as the slab is raised back toward its original position, and we patch the small ports to blend in afterward.
Many cracked driveways are great candidates for lifting — cracking is usually a symptom of lost support underneath. If a slab is shattered into many loose pieces or crumbling apart, replacement may make more sense. The free inspection is where we tell you honestly which path fits your driveway.
Yes. The foam cures in about 15 minutes, the slab is walkable within roughly 15 minutes, and it's driveable within about an hour. Most driveways are back in normal use the same day.
The polyurethane foam is water-resistant, inert once cured, and rated for 25+ years, so it won't wash out or break down the way some materials do. We back the work with a 2-year re-lift guarantee, and Beehive is insured.
The garage apron carries the heaviest, most repeated vehicle loads, and it's often where downspout runoff and poor drainage erode the sub-base. That combination lets the slab drop and form the trip lip you feel where the driveway meets the garage floor.
Very little. There's no demolition, no slab to haul away, and no new concrete to cure. We drill a few dime-sized ports, inject the foam, patch the holes, and your driveway is ready to use the same day.
