West Jordan's 90s–2000s subdivisions were built fast on backfill that wasn't always compacted well. Driveway and garage-apron settlement is the signature call here — and lifting beats replacement on cost every time.
Homes from the big building waves sit on fill that settles over the first decade. Driveways dropping where they meet the garage floor is the classic West Jordan pattern.
A settled 500-sq-ft driveway lifts for $1,500–$2,900 (mudjacking) versus $5,000–$8,000+ to tear out and re-pour. The math isn't close.
Parts of the west valley have clay-heavy soil — ask your contractor about it. Foam's light weight is the safer choice where clay is a factor.
| Project | Mudjacking | Foam leveling |
|---|---|---|
| Sidewalk section | $350–$700 | $900–$1,900 |
| Driveway section | $650–$1,300 | $1,500–$3,200 |
| Full driveway | $1,500–$2,900 | $3,200–$7,200 |
Most West Jordan residential jobs run $500–$3,000 total — mudjacking at $3–$8/sq ft, polyurethane foam at $5–$25/sq ft. Sidewalk sections start around $350; full driveways run $1,500–$7,200 depending on method.

Both work. Foam is worth considering for clay soil, decorative concrete, or winter timing; mudjacking wins on budget and large areas. Compare them here.
