Fix Uneven Driveways Without Tearing Them Out
A sinking or cracked driveway is more than just an eyesore — it can be a tripping hazard, a drainage problem, or a major frustration every time you park. At Raise-Rite Concrete Lifting, we help homeowners lift and level sunken driveways quickly using clean, efficient polyurethane foam. No demo. No downtime. Just results.
Why Do Driveways Sink?
Most driveway problems start underground. When the soil beneath the slab shifts, erodes, or settles over time, the concrete loses its support. Water from downspouts, poor grading, or freeze-thaw cycles can wash out the base layer. Once the soil weakens, the concrete begins to sink, crack, or tilt — often leaving gaps, uneven edges, and trip hazards right outside your garage.
If your driveway isn’t the only area sinking, we also level garage floors, walkways, steps, patios, porches, slabs, interior floors, and pool decks. Explore all our residential services for more.

What Are the Signs Your Concrete Needs Lifting?
A sinking driveway doesn’t fix itself — and it usually gets worse over time. Here’s what to look for:
Slabs that are sloping, cracking, or uneven
Gaps where the driveway meets the garage floor
Water pooling in low spots
Tires dipping or scraping as you pull in
Trip hazards where sections have settled
Our Fix: Quick, Clean Concrete Leveling with Foam
Step 1) Injection holes are strategically drilled around the areas where the concrete is sunken and requires lifting.
Step 2) Once everything is prepped, and the hose and material are in place, the polyurethane foam is injected through the holes. It expands to fill the space underneath the concrete slab, using the slab itself to drive the foam into the crevices, thereby lifting the concrete back to its original position.
Step 3) Once the concrete is stabilized and lifted to the proper position, the injection holes are filled with new cement, allowing you to use your surface immediately.
Polyurethane concrete raising uses a foam material that is injected under the slab. When the components of the material are mixed, a reaction causes the material to expand. This expanded foam fill any voids beneath the slab and raises the concrete. This material will never lose density, is permanent and weighs only about 2 pounds per cubic foot.
