What's actually happening when a contractor says they're going to "mudjack" your driveway? Simple version: pumping a cement-based slurry underneath a slab through small drilled holes, filling the void, and letting the pressure lift the concrete back to level.
It's the older method, and it's still a good fit for budget-conscious jobs on larger slabs. Forney Concrete Lifting runs mudjacking on driveways and patios where the slab is heavy enough that foam's higher material cost doesn't buy much extra.
What's included
What's Included with Mudjacking / Slab Jacking
Optional add-on: extra joint sealing to slow water getting back under the slab. Customer prep: keep vehicles off the driveway for the scheduled visit.
- Drilling pattern layout — holes set on a grid matched to the slab's void.
- Slurry mix and pump — cement, sand, and water pumped in stages, watching the lift.
- Lift monitoring — checking slab movement as slurry fills the gap.
- Hole patching — sealing each drill point once the pour is done.

FAQs
Mudjacking / Slab Jacking FAQs
Is mudjacking cheaper than foam jacking?
Generally, yes on material cost. Slurry ingredients run cheaper than two-part polyurethane. Labor and equipment time can offset some of that gap, but mud usually lands lower on a per-square-foot basis.
How long before I can drive on my driveway after slab jacking?
Plan for a longer cure window than foam, often a day or two before heavy vehicle traffic, since the slurry needs to firm up under load.
What is the typical cost of slab jacking?
It runs by slab area and depth of the void. Larger driveways cost more than a single sidewalk panel; get a free estimate for your specific job.
Is mudjacking or foam better for my slab?
Mud fits larger, heavier slabs where budget matters. Foam fits smaller slabs or spots where added weight from slurry could make settling worse. We'll recommend based on what we find under your slab.
Do I need a permit for mudjacking?
Typically no, since it's repair to an existing slab rather than new construction.
