Concrete Raising & Leveling (Mudjacking)
Sunken, uneven, or cracked concrete? We lift and level it — saving you up to 70% compared to full replacement.
What Is Mudjacking / Concrete Raising?
Mudjacking (also called concrete raising or slabjacking) is a cost-effective method to lift sunken concrete slabs back to their original position. Instead of tearing out and replacing your concrete — a process that costs thousands of dollars — we pump a specially formulated slurry mixture beneath the slab through small drilled holes. The mixture fills the void and hydraulically raises the concrete back to the correct level.
Once the concrete is raised and leveled, the drilled holes are patched and the job is complete — usually in just a few hours. The result is a safe, level surface that looks great and lasts for years.
What Concrete Can We Raise?
Driveways
Sunken driveway sections create trip hazards and water pooling. We lift them back to grade quickly and affordably.
Sidewalks & Walkways
Uneven sidewalks are a liability. We level raised or sunken sections to create a safe, smooth walking surface.
Patios
A sunken or tilted patio affects drainage and safety. Mudjacking restores your outdoor living space to its original level.
Garage Floors
Settling garage floors can create drainage problems and structural concerns. We raise and stabilize sunken garage slabs.
Pool Decks
Sunken pool deck concrete is a serious trip hazard. We lift it back to level safely without disturbing your pool area.
Steps & Stoops
Settled or tilted concrete steps are dangerous. We raise and stabilize them to restore safe access to your home.
Mudjacking vs. Concrete Replacement
| Factor | Mudjacking | Full Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | Up to 70% less expensive | Very expensive |
| Time | Completed in hours | Days to weeks |
| Cure Time | Ready same day or next day | Must wait 28+ days for full cure |
| Disruption | Minimal — small drill holes only | Major — full demolition and removal |
| Environmental Impact | Low — reuses existing slab | High — disposal of old concrete |
Why Does Concrete Sink?
Concrete sinks or becomes uneven for several reasons:
- Soil erosion — Water washes away soil beneath the slab, creating voids
- Soil compaction — Poorly compacted fill soil settles over time under the weight of concrete
- Freeze/thaw cycles — Pennsylvania winters cause soil to expand and contract, shifting slabs
- Tree root activity — Growing roots can displace soil and push up or undermine concrete
- Plumbing leaks — Underground water leaks erode soil beneath slabs
