What is mudjacking, exactly? It's the older, heavier-duty method of concrete lifting. A cement-based slurry gets pumped under a sunken slab through small drilled holes, and the weight of the slurry pushes the slab back to level.
Balch Springs Concrete Lifting uses mudjacking on slabs that need real lifting force, especially older mid-century driveways and patios where the void underneath has grown large. It's messier than foam but often the more economical choice for bigger jobs.

Mudjacking FAQs
How much does mudjacking cost?
Pricing runs by square foot and depends on how deep the void is. Small driveway sections cost less than a full patio job. A free estimate gives you an exact number.
Is mudjacking or foam better for clay soil?
Mudjacking's extra weight can hold heavier vehicle loads well, but the slurry can absorb some moisture over time. Foam resists water better and weighs less, which matters on thinner slabs. The right pick depends on the slab and the load it carries.
How messy is mudjacking compared to foam injection?
Mudjacking involves more material and a bit of slurry runoff near the drill holes. Foam injection is cleaner since it expands in place with almost no overflow.
How long does mudjacking last before it needs redoing?
A well-filled void holds for years. New settling elsewhere on the property is a separate issue, not a sign the original lift failed.
Can I mudjack instead of replacing my whole driveway?
Yes. If the slab itself isn't cracked through or crumbling, lifting it costs far less than tearing it out and repouring.
