Allen's expansive clay soil doesn't just move small slabs, it moves the big, heavy ones too. Mudjacking is the traditional fix for that: pump a cement-based slurry under a sunken slab, and it lifts back to grade.

It's a proven method that's been around for decades, and it's still the right call for heavier concrete like garage floors and thick patios. Allen Concrete Lifting uses it where the load calls for more than foam alone.

What's included

What's Included with Mudjacking / Slabjacking

Typically included: Optional: Customer prep:

  • Drilling pattern sized to the slab and void
  • Cement/soil slurry pumped and monitored during the lift
  • Grade check throughout the injection
  • Hole patching after the lift is complete
  • Combination approach — mudjacking for heavy sections, foam for lighter panels nearby
  • Additional void-fill pass if soil settlement is deep
  • Clear the slab area of vehicles, furniture, and planters
  • Expect some slurry runoff cleanup near the injection holes

How it works

How Our Mudjacking / Slabjacking Process Works

  1. Site assessment photo
    Step 1

    Site assessment

    Measure the sunken area and estimate slurry volume.

  2. Drilling pattern photo
    Step 2

    Drill pattern

    Holes bored in a grid across the slab.

  3. Concrete Lifting Pumping mud mix photo
    Step 3

    Slurry pumping

    Cement-based mix pumped beneath the slab.

  4. Level check photo
    Step 4

    Level check

FAQs

Mudjacking / Slabjacking FAQs

What tool can I use to lift a concrete slab?

Professionals use a slurry pump connected to drilled injection holes. Homeowner-grade rental pumps exist, but they're hard to control on uneven voids without cracking the slab.

Is polyurethane foam better than mudjacking for expansive clay soil?

Foam is lighter and cures faster, which suits smaller slabs. Mudjacking carries more weight, which is actually the better fit for heavier concrete like garage floors that need a denser fill under them.

How long does mudjacking last?

As long as the soil beneath stays reasonably stable, a mudjacked slab typically holds for years. It's a durable, time-tested method.

Do I need a permit for mudjacking?

Most residential slab repair doesn't require one. It's repair work on existing concrete, not new construction.

Is mudjacking messier than foam injection?

A little. Slurry can leave minor residue near the injection points, but cleanup is part of the job and the site is left presentable.
