Common driveway settlement problems
The most noticeable issue is often one panel dropping lower than the next. You may also see water collecting along a joint, a gap beneath the slab, or a corner that rocks under load. The repair plan should consider both elevation and the likely cause of settlement.
Lifting at the garage
Garage transitions need careful evaluation because the garage floor, foundation, door clearance, and adjoining driveway all create fixed reference points. The goal is a practical transition without over-lifting the slab.
Driveway leveling with foam
Polyurethane foam can be injected below a driveway to fill voids and create lift. The number and location of injection points depends on the panel size, voids, and the direction the slab needs to move.
When replacement may be better
If the driveway panel is badly broken, spalled, thin, or structurally failing, replacement can be the more sensible long-term repair. A quote should tell you whether the slab is worth lifting.
