Ogden Foundation Pros
Driveway Lifting in Ogden, UT
Driveway lifting in Ogden with polyurethane foam injection, same-day cure, and free estimates for sunken slabs near the garage.
Serving Ogden and nearby communities.
A driveway slab that's dropped near the garage approach isn't just cosmetic, it's a trip hazard and a water problem waiting to happen. Ogden Foundation Pros lifts sunken driveway sections with polyurethane foam injection, raising the panel back to grade without tearing out the slab.
Older Ogden neighborhoods built before modern compaction standards see this more often, especially where the original base under the slab wasn't packed as tight as current codes require. Polyjacking fills that lost space and lifts the panel from below, instead of patching over the problem with a wedge of asphalt.

How our Driveway Lifting process works
Step 1Driveway Inspection
Sunken or sloped sections are measured for correction.
Step 2Access Drilling
Dime-sized holes are drilled at strategic points along the slab.
Step 3Foam Injection
Expanding polyurethane foam is pumped beneath the slab to raise it evenly.
Step 4Slope Correction
The surface is adjusted to restore proper drainage away from the garage.
Step 5Hole Sealing
Drilled holes are patched to blend with the existing surface.
Step 6Surface Review
The driveway is checked for even, stable elevation.
Materials
Materials and methods for Driveway Lifting
Driveway panels carry vehicle weight every day, so the lifting material has to hold up under that load.
Polyurethane Foam
Lightweight expanding foam lifts the slab without adding the extra weight that can cause re-settling in soft Ogden soils.
Concrete Patch Mix
Seals the dime-sized access holes flush with the surrounding driveway.
Joint Sealant
Reseals expansion joints disturbed during the lift so water doesn't find a new entry point.
Surface Sealer
Protects the driveway surface from moisture and freeze-thaw cracking through Ogden winters.
Leveling Equipment
Confirms accurate elevation while the foam is injected, not just after the fact.
Bonding Primer
Improves patch adhesion so the repaired holes don't become weak spots later.

Cost
What does driveway lifting cost in Ogden?
Cost depends on panel size, how deep the void under the slab is, and how many panels need lifting. Ask for a free estimate to see exactly where your driveway falls in that range.
| Project type | Typical range | What’s included |
|---|---|---|
| Single panel lift | $400–$1,200 | one access area and injection points. |
| Multi-panel driveway | $1,200–$3,500 | several panels lifted in one visit. |
| Severe void or large driveway | $3,500–$6,000+ | extensive injection across a wide area. |
These are typical local ballparks — final cost depends on scope, materials, and site conditions. A free estimate gives you an accurate, itemized number for your home.

Driveway Lifting FAQs
How much does driveway lifting cost in Ogden?
Most single-panel lifts run $400-$1,200. Larger driveways with multiple sunken panels run higher, but still typically less than full replacement.
How long does polyurethane lifting last compared to mudjacking?
Polyurethane foam doesn't absorb water or break down the way traditional mudjacking mix can, so it tends to hold its lift longer in wet, freeze-thaw conditions.
Can I drive on the driveway the same day?
Usually yes. Polyurethane foam cures fast, often within an hour or two, well before traditional concrete repair methods would allow traffic.
Will lifting fix the crack in my driveway too?
Lifting addresses the elevation and void underneath. Visible cracks on the surface may need separate sealing after the lift.
Is lifting cheaper than replacing the driveway?
Yes. Lifting addresses the void without the cost and disruption of demolition and a full repour.
Why is my driveway sinking near the garage specifically?
That's usually where the original base compaction was lightest, and it's also where water runoff concentrates, both speed up settling in that spot.
