Slab jacking sinks after a heavy driveway or garage slab drops more than an inch. It's the traditional term for mudjacking, the method that raises a slab with a pumped cement-based slurry rather than foam.

Little Elm Concrete Lifting reaches for slab jacking on thicker slabs, the kind common in older sections of Little Elm, where the added weight of the slurry mix isn't a concern and the slab needs a heavier fill.

FAQs

Slab Jacking FAQs

Can you lift a slab without cutting or replacing it?

That's the core idea behind slab jacking. Access holes are small, and the existing slab does the rising, no cutting or demolition involved.

Is slab jacking the same thing as mudjacking?

They're two names for the same method: raising a slab by pumping cement-based slurry underneath it.

How long does slurry take to cure compared to foam?

Slurry needs 24 to 48 hours before it can handle full vehicle weight. Foam is usually drivable within about an hour.

Why would I choose slab jacking over foam lifting?

Slurry costs less per square foot on thicker slabs and works well when the extra weight isn't a concern for the soil underneath.

Can DIY slurry mixes work for this?

Pumping slurry at the right pressure without overlifting or cracking the slab takes calibrated equipment. This isn't a DIY-friendly repair.
