Concrete leveling in Burley
We lift and level concrete in Burley, east of Twin Falls along I-84 and the Snake River. That includes driveways, sidewalks, patios, steps and walks at homes, and sidewalks, walkways and entrances at businesses. Burley is farther out than most of our service area, so sending photos first helps us plan the visit. The evaluation is free, and sunken slabs that are still sound can usually be lifted back into line with polyurethane foam.
About Burley
Burley is the county seat of Cassia County and the largest city in the Mini-Cassia area. Most of the city is in Cassia County, with a small part north of the Snake River in Minidoka County, since the river forms the line between the two. I-84 runs along the north end of town, about 37 miles from the Twin Falls area, and agriculture and food processing, especially potatoes and sugar beets, are a big part of the local economy.
Planning a visit to Burley
Because Burley is a longer drive than towns closer to Twin Falls, a little information up front goes a long way:
- Send photos. A wide shot of the area, a close-up of each problem spot with a tape measure in it, and anything that looks cracked.
- Tell us everything you’d like looked at. If there’s a sunken driveway panel and a patio corner, we’ll look at both on the same trip.
- We’ll confirm it looks like a lifting job before the evaluation, or tell you if the photos suggest replacement instead.
You’re welcome to call instead at 208-431-6379. Either way, the on-site evaluation is free.
What we see at Burley homes
Burley’s residential concrete settles for the same reasons it does anywhere in the valley: backfill around foundations and water at slab edges.
- Garage aprons dropped below the garage floor
- Sidewalk squares with lips along sprinkled lawns
- Patios tipped toward the back of the house
- Steps pulling away from the front wall
- Driveway panels with voids under the edges

Businesses and larger properties
As a county seat and regional center, Burley has its share of storefronts, offices, apartment properties and public buildings. Those tend to have more concrete in more places, so a single trip can cover several areas: the sidewalk out front, the walk from parking, the entry slab at the door. Commercial concrete leveling covers how we plan work around a business, and apartment and multifamily concrete leveling covers rental properties.
Why it’s worth doing in one trip
Settlement rarely stops at one slab. If one panel has dropped, the ones beside it often have voids forming underneath. Looking at the whole property during the evaluation means anything that needs attention can be handled together, instead of calling again in a year for the panel next door. Signs of concrete settlement is a good checklist to walk before you call.
Both sides of the river
Most of Burley is in Cassia County, but part of the city sits north of the Snake River in Minidoka County. We work on both sides. When you get in touch, just tell us your address and we’ll plan from there.
Settlement at newer homes
Burley’s population grew between the 2010 and 2020 censuses, and newer homes bring the usual new-home pattern: the garage apron, front steps and back patio settling on foundation backfill in the first several years. If your home is newer and the concrete right next to it is dropping, that’s the likely cause. Lifting the slab and filling the voids gives it support while the fill finishes compacting. Driveway sinking near the garage explains the pattern.
Lift or replace?
The question in Burley is the same as everywhere: can this concrete be lifted, or does it need to be replaced? Slabs that sank but are still whole are usually good candidates. Slabs that are broken up, crumbling or pushed up by roots aren’t. Can sunken concrete be lifted? covers the criteria, and if it turns out to be a replacement job, you’ll know before we leave.
The job, start to finish
Sunken
Concrete has settled or lost support.
Lifted
Polyurethane foam is injected beneath the slab.
Level
The slab is raised toward its proper position, and the void space is stabilized.
We drill small holes in the settled slab, inject polyurethane foam to fill the voids and raise it back into line, patch the holes and power wash the area. How concrete leveling works walks through each step.
