How Difficult Is It to Lift a Driveway?

Professionals can inject the ground beneath your driveway with the foam that it needs to lift in a matter of hours. That foam will cure more quickly than the slurry that other professionals might prefer to take advantage of. However, just because the process seems straightforward doesn’t mean that it’s easy to finish off. 

• How to Lift a Driveway 

The methods the team at Innovative Basement Authority use to lift your driveway will vary based on your own preferences. The process, however, does not involve supports or piers, like lifting your foundation or basement floor might. Contractor’s pump concentrated high-density polyurethane foam beneath your driveway to stabilize the ground. As that polyurethane foam comes to set, your driveway will rise back into its original position. 

At first glance, this process may seem like an in-and-out job. However, the difficulty of the work directly correlates to the length of your driveway and the degree of sinkage you’ve seen over time. To get a better idea both of how long it will take contractors to lift your driveway and what degree of work the process might require, you can schedule a home inspection with the professionals in your area. 

• The Importance of Lifting Your Driveway 

Unfortunately, it isn’t in your best interest to leave your driveway unleveled if it has started to sink. Sinking driveways can put the safety of your car and other vehicles at risk. Similarly, a sinking driveway often indicates other concrete structures around your property that may be contending with water damage. 

As mentioned, the process of lifting your driveway is relatively straightforward, even if the work isn’t great to take on without professional guidance. The sooner you’re able to reach out to the professionals in your area for help, the sooner they’ll be able to repair your driveway to previous functionality.
