Mudjacking Cost Guide

Most slab lifting estimates are scheduled within 24 hours of your call. Small repairs such as a single trip-hazard grind or slab lift are often completed within the same week; larger pours and paving jobs are typically booked within one to three weeks, depending on permits, material delivery, and weather. Your written estimate lists the proposed start date.

Yes. We are registered with the City of San Antonio (SA-CC-0319-RES) and carry general liability insurance, and our crews are covered by workers' compensation. We can send a certificate of insurance before work starts, and we pull any required right-of-way or building permits for slab lifting work on your behalf.

Mudjacking works well on slabs that are intact but have sunk, which is common on San Antonio's expansive clay soils. It is not a good fit for slabs broken into many pieces, slabs that have heaved upward, or areas where the soil is still actively washing out; in those cases, we recommend replacement or fixing the drainage first.

Mudjacking pumps a cement slurry under the slab through holes about 1 to 2 inches wide. Polyurethane foam uses holes about 5/8 inch wide and weighs far less, so it adds little load to soft soil, and it cures in about 15 to 30 minutes. Foam costs more per square foot ($8 to $12 vs. $5 to $8) but is often the better choice on weak soils.
