Why does one side of your driveway sit higher than the other? Usually it's the clay soil underneath doing what clay soil does around here, shrinking in the heat and swelling after rain. Allen Concrete Lifting lifts the low panels back to grade without tearing anything out.
Long driveways on bigger Allen-area lots tend to settle unevenly, panel by panel, since each section reacts to the moisture under it a little differently. We assess panel by panel and lift only what's moved.

DIY vs Hiring a Pro for Driveway Lifting
| DIY | Hire a pro |
|---|---|
| A rented mudjacking pump can work on a small, low-traffic slab edge | Multi-panel driveways need pressure control so one panel doesn't overshoot while another stays low |
| Store-bought foam kits handle hairline gaps under a single stone or paver | Professional equipment reads void depth accurately, which prevents cracking on clay soil where the gap underneath isn't even |

FAQs
Driveway Lifting FAQs
Why is my driveway sinking on one side but not the other?
Each panel sits over a slightly different soil pocket. As clay dries and shrinks unevenly, one panel can drop while its neighbor stays put.
How long do I have to wait before driving on a lifted driveway?
With foam, usually about an hour. With mudjacking, plan for 24 hours before parking anything heavy on it.
Does driveway lifting work on older concrete?
As long as the slab itself isn't crumbling. Lifting restores grade; it doesn't fix concrete that's already deteriorated.
Will the driveway sink again?
Not from the same void, since we fill it completely. New settling elsewhere on the driveway is possible over time given the soil here, but it's a separate, smaller fix.
What's the difference between foam and mudjacking for a driveway?
Foam is lighter and cures fast. Mudjacking uses more material and costs less per panel but takes longer to cure before you can drive on it.
