Driveway Lifting in Brigham City, UT
Driveway lifting in Brigham City with polyurethane foam injection, fixing sunken slabs near the garage fast. Free estimates.
Serving Brigham City and nearby communities.
A driveway that dips at the garage transition every spring isn't cosmetic. It's soil compacting underneath the slab and leaving a void. Brigham City Foundation Pros lifts sunken driveway slabs with polyurethane foam injection instead of tearing out and repouring, getting the surface level again without the mess or the wait.
This shows up a lot around Brigham City where older driveways near the historic core settle with age and newer driveways in growing subdivisions settle from fresh soil compaction. Either way, the fix is the same: fill the void, lift the slab, seal the holes.

Typically included: driveway inspection, access hole drilling, foam injection, slope correction at drainage points, hole patching.

How Our Driveway Lifting Process Works
Step 1Driveway Inspection
Sunken or sloped sections are identified for correction.
Step 2Access Drilling
Small holes are drilled at strategic points along the driveway.
Step 3Foam Injection
Expanding foam is pumped beneath the slab to raise it evenly.
Step 4Slope Correction
The surface is adjusted to restore proper drainage direction.
Step 5Hole Sealing
Drilled holes are patched to blend with the existing surface.
Step 6Surface Review
The driveway is inspected for even, stable elevation.
Materials
Materials and Methods for Driveway Lifting
Polyurethane Foam
Provides lightweight lift without adding excess weight to the soil, a better match than mudjacking's heavy slurry for the freeze-thaw cycles here.
Concrete Patch Mix
Used to seal access holes after injection work so the dime-sized drill points disappear into the surface.
Joint Sealant
Reseals expansion joints disturbed during the lifting process to keep water out of the gap.
Surface Sealer
Protects the driveway from moisture and future cracking after the lift.
Leveling Equipment
Ensures accurate measurement during the lifting procedure so panels match at every joint.
Bonding Primer
Improves patch adhesion to the original concrete surface for a durable repair.

DIY vs Hiring a Pro for Driveway Lifting
| DIY | Hire a pro |
|---|---|
| Patching the surface crack doesn't address the void underneath | Foam injection reaches the actual void and lifts the slab back to grade |
| Self-leveling compound doesn't reach under a sunken slab | A pro calculates injection points to raise the slab evenly, not lopsided |
| Fine for cosmetic surface wear with no actual dip | Mudjacking's heavy slurry can re-compact the same soil that caused the problem |
| — | Proper slope correction at the garage transition prevents repeat sinking |

Driveway Lifting FAQs
Why is my driveway sinking near the garage every spring?
Soil under the slab compacts and shifts seasonally, often worse right at the garage transition where water runoff concentrates. That creates a void the slab eventually settles into.
What's cheaper, polyurethane foam lifting or ripping out and repouring concrete?
Foam lifting is typically 50-80% cheaper than tear-out and repour since it reuses the existing slab instead of demolishing and repouring new concrete.
How much does driveway lifting cost in Brigham City?
Single panel lifts run $400 to $900. Full driveway releveling across multiple panels typically runs $2,000 to $5,000 depending on scope.
How long does driveway lifting take?
Most driveway lifting jobs are completed in a few hours and the surface is usable again the same day once the foam cures.
Do I need a permit to lift my driveway?
Lifting an existing driveway slab usually doesn't require a permit. Permits come into play if the work involves expanding or regrading beyond the original footprint.
Is DIY driveway crack filling a good substitute for lifting?
No. Filling a surface crack doesn't fill the void underneath that's causing the slab to sink. The dip will keep returning until the void is filled with foam or the slab is repoured.
When should I call a pro for driveway lifting?
Call when the dip at the garage transition is getting worse, water pools instead of draining, or a panel edge has become a trip hazard.
