Is mudjacking still the right call, or is foam better for your slab? It depends on the void size, and honestly, mudjacking still wins for larger volumes.
Mudjacking is the traditional slurry-lift method: a soil-cement mix pumped under a slab through small drilled holes. Melissa Concrete Lifting uses it when a void is large or a slab needs more raw lifting force than foam alone provides.
What's included
What's included with Mudjacking
Typically included: Optional: Customer prep:

How our Mudjacking process works
Step 1Slab inspection
Check panel size, joint spacing, and void location.
Step 2Drilling access holes
Small ports placed in a pattern across the slab.
Step 3Slurry mixing
Soil-cement mix batched to the right consistency.
Step 4Pumping and lifting
Slurry pumped in stages, slab lifted gradually to grade.
Step 5Level verification
Checked with a level as the lift progresses.
Step 6Patching and cleanup
Holes filled, area swept, drill spoil hauled off.
FAQs
Mudjacking FAQs
Is mudjacking or polyurethane foam better for a new build on clay soil?
Foam is lighter and cures faster, which suits smaller voids on newer slabs. Mudjacking handles larger volumes better, since it fills more space per pump. We'll recommend based on your specific void, not a blanket rule.
Is DIY mudjacking with a hardware-store kit worth trying?
Small kits can patch a shallow gap under a quarter inch. They struggle with deeper voids or uneven pours, and a bad DIY attempt can crack the slab further.
How long does mudjacking take to cure?
Cure time runs longer than foam, often a day or more before full vehicle loads. Foot traffic is usually fine sooner.
What's in the mudjacking mix?
A soil-cement slurry, sometimes with sand or fly ash added for consistency. It's heavier than foam, which is part of why it lifts large voids well.
Does mudjacking work on older slabs?
It's well suited to established slabs, like the kind you'd find on older lots around Blue Ridge, where settlement has built up gradually over years.
Will mudjacking crack my concrete?
Done correctly, no. The risk comes from lifting too fast or missing a void, which is why we check depth before pumping instead of guessing.
