Driveway Repair
Living with a sinking, cracking driveway is inconvenient and unsafe. Thankfully, when it comes to driveway repair, you have options.
Since 2005, Foundation Repair of Western Colorado has been helping homeowners lift and repair concrete throughout the Grand Junction area. Read on to see how we provide lasting driveway repairs at your home.
What is Concrete Driveway Repair?
Driveway repair focuses on addressing cracks, dips, and uneven areas in the concrete. By investing in these repairs, you can enjoy a smoother, safer driveway.
Vehicles can park without the annoyance of bumps, and visitors won’t risk tripping over protruding concrete. This not only enhances the look of your property but also increases safety.
Our driveway repair method uses polyurethane foam, which we inject to lift and fill gaps in the concrete. This foam expands and cures to full strength in just 15 minutes, supporting your newly lifted driveway with ease.
Signs Your Concrete Driveway Needs Repair
Spotting driveway damage is easy if you know what to look for. Keep an eye out for these issues:
- Cracks of any kind, especially those exceeding ¼ inch in width.
- Uneven or sinking sections of the driveway.
- Water pooling only on certain sections of the driveway.
- Surface damage such as pitting, flaking, or staining.
If you see any of these signs of damage, or you’re unsure whether or not your driveway is experiencing damage, consider scheduling a free inspection with us!
Is Driveway Repair Necessary?
We know that dealing with home repairs of any kind can be stressful. Driveway repair is one of those things that shouldn’t be put off. It’s necessary, especially before winter rolls around.
Snow and ice freeze the ground below concrete, causing moisture in the soil to expand. This frozen moisture pushes up on the concrete and leads to a cracking, uneven driveway.
With driveway repair, you can avoid this problem and more. Make sure to work with a professional team, like us, for the best concrete lifting results.

FAQs
Concrete driveways can sink, crack, and sustain other damage due to erosion beneath the slabs caused by expansive soil, soil instability, water intrusion from cracks, and freeze/thaw cycles. Heavy vehicles parked in the same place for prolonged periods can also result in driveway sinking.
