Fixing sunken driveway?

[black2002ls]

Have you identified the reason it is sinking? It could be a busted clean out causing water erosion.

As for fixing, depending on the thickness, a lack of rebar structure could be an issue down the road. Also, the added weight of that much concrete could cause future issues if you have any sewer lines running under the driveway.I would lean towards cutting the section out and replacing, though that gets pricey

My driveway has a section that sinks every summer and then comes back level in the winter. That is how much the ground shrinks when dry. The rains come and the ground swells and the drive is back level. That's why when you build a house on piers you want the soil as saturated as possible. If it dries(shrinks) it will pull away from the slab and your slab will not drop it will be resting on the piers.

I could come bring in some gravel & big rocks & dig it out & re fill it in. That's just a cheap way of fixing it.

I was looking at our cost to replace driveways today. On avrage we spend $2000 to cut, remove, and repour a driveway. Keep in mind though we are a home builder and use trades who do all of our construction.

I agree with mike, popping it out and repouring it is the only way to go
