Is Your Driveway Sinking, Cracking, or Creating a Trip Hazard?

Your driveway should be safe, smooth, and easy to use. But when concrete starts to sink, settle, crack, or pull away from the garage, it can quickly become a problem.

Uneven driveway concrete can create trip hazards, water pooling, rough transitions, and extra stress on nearby slabs. The good news? You may not need to tear out and replace your driveway.

The Concrete Team provides driveway lifting, driveway leveling, and mudjacking services throughout Upstate New York. We can raise and stabilize sunken driveway slabs and help restore a safer, more usable surface.

Call today for a FREE estimate.

Why Driveway Concrete Sinks

Driveway slabs are heavy. They need strong support underneath to stay level. When the soil below the concrete moves, settles, washes away, or weakens, the concrete can drop.

Common reasons driveway concrete sinks include:

  • Poor soil compaction when the driveway was first poured
  • Water washing away soil under the slab
  • Freeze-thaw cycles during Upstate New York winters
  • Heavy vehicles adding stress to weak areas
  • Poor drainage near the driveway
  • Voids forming under the concrete
  • Soil settlement over time

Once the slab loses support, it may sink, tilt, crack, or become uneven with the surrounding concrete.

If your garage floor is also sinking or uneven, visit our garage floor leveling page. If the problem continues into a nearby walkway, our walkway and sidewalk leveling service may help too.

    I cannot recommend Jim Denney and The Concrete Team highly enough! I’ve known Jim for many years, and as a Realtor, I’ve confidently referred him to my clients and I know he will exceeded expectations. Jim’s knowledge, experience, and workmanship are truly second to none. The quality of his work is exceptional, but what really sets him apart is the way he treats people. Home repairs, especially foundation or concrete issues can be overwhelming and emotional for homeowners. Jim has a remarkable ability to communicate clearly, explain complex issues in a way that’s easy to understand, and put people at ease. He never pressures anyone and always takes the time to help homeowners feel informed and confident about their decisions. Jim and his partner, Mike, are also two of the most honest, ethical people you’ll ever meet. Their integrity is unwavering, and they genuinely care about doing what’s right for their clients, not just getting the job done. In an industry where trust means everything, The Concrete Team stands in a class of its own. I give them my absolute highest recommendation and will continue referring them with complete confidence. They are simply the best.

    Three years ago, I contacted The Concrete Team about some settling issues with my stamped concrete pool patio that had created a trip hazard in several high-traffic areas. They came out, evaluated the problem, and provided an estimate, but I never moved forward with the work at that time. After this past winter, the settling became noticeably worse. With a graduation party approaching, I wanted to get the issue fixed before guests arrived and risked tripping or falling. I called The Concrete Team expecting the price to have increased after three years, but to my surprise, they honored the original estimate and were able to fit me into their schedule on short notice. Their crew did an outstanding job. They were professional, efficient, and restored the patio for a fraction of the cost of replacing it. The finished product looks great, and most importantly, the trip hazards are gone. As a real estate agent, I’m always looking for trustworthy contractors to recommend to my clients, and The Concrete Team has absolutely earned my recommendation. If you have settled or uneven concrete, don’t wait—give them a call. You’ll be glad you did.

    I had a fantastic experience with the concrete team! They did an amazing job mud jacking my front walkway. The pricing was very reasonable, they showed up on time, and the work was completed quickly and efficiently. The whole process was smooth from start to finish, and the results came out great. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality work at a fair price!"

    Jim and Mike did an absolutely outstanding job on our front sidewalk and the garage floor entrance. They had to drill holes in our front sidewalk and then pressure install concrete underneath to raise them back up to the correct level. Not an easy task. But this was done exceptionally well. Then they applied an epoxy surfacer to even out all the salt erosion that had been happening. After this a sand surfacing was applied to the epoxy [white] to give the sidewalk the proper appearance - now tan. A truly exceptional job. Pete and Susie, Cohoes, NY

    The Concrete Team did a great job raising the sidewalks at Severson Manor in Voorheesville. No more trip hazards for the residents and others who are just “passing through”. Thanks Mike and crew!

    Signs You May Need Driveway Leveling

    Sometimes driveway problems are easy to see. Other times, the concrete may only be starting to move. Fixing the problem early can help prevent larger repairs later.

    You may need driveway lifting if you notice:

    • Uneven slabs in your driveway
    • A bump where the driveway meets the garage floor
    • Cracks forming near settled areas
    • Water pooling on the driveway
    • Slabs sloping toward the home or garage
    • Gaps under the edge of the concrete
    • A trip hazard between driveway sections
    • Concrete pulling away from the garage, walkway, or steps
    • Hollow sounds under the slab
    • A rough transition from the street or apron

    Our Driveway Lifting Process

    The Concrete Team specializes in mudjacking, also called slabjacking.
    That means we can look at your driveway and recommend the method that makes the most sense for your concrete,
    soil conditions, access, and project goals.

    Our process is simple:

    Top Concrete Leveling Contractor Near Me

    Step 1: Evaluate the Driveway

    We inspect the sunken or uneven concrete, look for cracks, check the slope, and review the areas where support has been lost. In many cases, you do not need to be home for the estimate.

    Step 2: Raise and Stabilize the Concrete

    We use mudjacking, also called slabjacking, to raise and support settled concrete. This process pumps a grout-like material under the slab to fill voids, stabilize the concrete, and lift it back toward the surrounding surface.

    Step 3: Patch, Clean Up, and Review the Work

    After the driveway is lifted, the holes are patched and the work area is cleaned up. We review the repair and explain any next steps, such as sealing joints, fixing cracks, or improving drainage.

    Benefits of Driveway Lifting

    Driveway lifting can be a smart repair when the concrete is still in good enough condition to save. Instead of removing and replacing the slab, we raise the existing concrete back toward its proper position.

    Benefits include:

    • Helps remove trip hazards
    • Improves driveway safety
    • Helps reduce water pooling
    • Costs less than full concrete replacement in many cases
    • Restores a smoother transition to the garage
    • Helps stabilize the slab by filling voids underneath
    • Reduces disruption compared to replacement
    • Can often be completed faster than pouring new concrete
    • Helps protect nearby walkways, steps, and garage floors
    • Depending on the method used, the driveway may be ready to use much sooner than new concrete

    Driveway Lifting FAQs

    Can a sunken driveway be lifted instead of replaced?

    Yes, many sunken driveways can be lifted if the concrete is still in usable condition. If the slab is badly broken or crumbling, replacement may be needed. We can inspect the driveway and explain your options. You can also read more about why this happens on our Why Concrete Sinks page.

    Your driveway may need leveling if you see uneven slabs, trip hazards, water pooling, gaps under the concrete, cracks near settled areas, or a bump at the garage entrance. If you are unsure, you can send photos or request a free estimate through our contact page.

    Driveway lifting can help improve the position of settled slabs, but it does not erase cracks. If cracks remain after the slab is lifted, concrete crack repair or joint sealing may be recommended. Learn more about concrete crack repair and joint sealing / caulking.

    Many driveway leveling projects can be completed faster than removing and replacing concrete. The exact timing depends on the size of the driveway, the number of slabs, the amount of settlement, and the lifting method used.

    In many cases, no. If the driveway is accessible, The Concrete Team can often review the project without you being home. Photos can also help us understand the problem before or during the estimate process.

    We lift many residential concrete surfaces, including garage floors, sidewalks, patios, porches, steps, pool decks, concrete slabs, and concrete floors. You can explore more residential services starting with our walkway and sidewalk leveling and patio leveling pages.
