The classic sign is a step or gap right where the driveway meets the garage slab, the driveway settled, the garage pad didn't. On newer builds near Spring Lake, driveways poured over disturbed fill soil often settle unevenly in the first few years, creating that exact transition problem.
Santaquin Foundation Pros fixes it with polyurethane foam injection instead of tearing out the slab. The foam goes in through small access holes, expands beneath the concrete, and lifts it back to match the garage elevation.

Driveway Lifting FAQs
How much does driveway lifting cost in Santaquin?
Isolated low spots start around $400. A full driveway re-level across multiple sunken sections typically runs $2,000 to $5,000.
How long does driveway lifting take?
Most driveway lifts finish within a few hours, and the surface is drivable again the same day after a short cure.
Why is my driveway sinking near the garage slab?
It's usually fill soil settling unevenly under the driveway while the garage slab, poured separately and often compacted differently, stays put.
Is DIY driveway lifting possible?
Foam injection requires pressure equipment and depth control that isn't available to homeowners. This is a pro-only repair.
Do I need a permit to lift a driveway?
Typically no, since you're lifting the existing slab rather than pouring new concrete.
