General Questions
Q. What is mudjacking?
Mudjacking is a trusted concrete leveling method that uses a cement-based mixture to lift sunken concrete. It’s an efficient and cost-effective alternative to concrete replacement. For more details, visit our Concrete Lifting Process page.
Q. Why choose mudjacking over concrete replacement?
Mudjacking repairs your existing concrete by lifting it back to its original level. This method saves you 50-75% in costs compared to replacing the entire slab. Plus, it minimizes downtime. You can walk or drive on the repaired concrete within hours of the job being completed.
Q: Why choose mudjacking over polyjacking?
Mudjacking and polyjacking are both methods to lift and level sunken concrete, but they differ in several ways. Mudjacking uses a mixture of natural and durable materials like cement, sand, and water, making it a more cost-effective option, while polyjacking relies on polyurethane foam, which is typically more expensive.
At Level Headed Mudjackers, we are proud to offer our customers trusted mudjacking services that are more affordable and dependable solution for lifting and leveling sunken concrete, offering the strength and durability needed for both small and large projects.

Q. How does mudjacking work?
Mudjacking is a time-tested method of leveling uneven concrete surfaces. It’s cost-effective, efficient and straight-forward. Here’s a graphic showing our trusted concrete lifting process:
Q. Why do you need your concrete leveled?
The grade of your household is more important than you think. With Midwestern rain and conditions, the level of your walks can be key to keeping your foundation dry and dependable. Whether it’s a gap within your porch or a small slant toward your home, mudjacking can be the key to fixing your pavement.
Q. How much does mudjacking cost?
The price can range from a couple of hundred dollars to a few thousand dollars depending on what needs to be done. There are a number of variables that affect pricing, but we’re happy to stop out and provide a FREE estimate.
Q. What can happen if you don’t level your pavement?
Rain, rot and mold are all very real problems. The health of your family and your home are dependent upon your foundation. If your foundation is sagging, cracking or buckling, it can lead to structural damage of your home which can be incredibly costly to repair. Mudjacking, also known as concrete leveling or slabjacking, can prevent these issues from occurring, saving you money and ensuring the safety of your home.
Q. What causes concrete settling?
Washout, drying, shrinking and poorly compacted soils are some of the reasons that concrete can settle and crack, leaving you with an uneven surface. One often overlooked cause is underground plumbing leaks. If you have under-slab piping, slow leaks can cause soil to wash away, leaving a void below your slab. Soil displacement can lead to bumpy sidewalks, buckling driveways or even a cracked foundation. Mudjacking your concrete and leveling it can prevent long term damage to your home.
Q. Why fix your concrete instead of replace?
Replacing your concrete slabs is expensive! Labor alone can take up to 8 hours for workers replacing concrete. Mudjacking saves you 50-75% in costs compared to replacing the entire slab.
Our trusted mudjacking process is affordable, efficient and makes little mess. Unlike replacing an entire concrete slab, most mudjacking projects can be walked on within minutes of the process.
Q. Do I need to be home during this process?
You only need to be home if your cracked concrete is in the interior of your home or garage. Outdoor surfaces such as patios, sidewalks or driveways can be done at any time with your permission.
Q. How does the mudjacking process work?
Our process involves a careful assessment, precision drilling, injection of a natural cement-based slurry to lift the concrete, and finally patching the drilled holes for a seamless finish. Learn more on our simple and trusted slabjacking process on our Concrete Lifting Process page.
Q. How soon can I walk on my concrete after mudjacking?
Since mudjacking repairs the existing slab without full replacement, you can usually walk on your concrete within minutes after the process.
Q. What factors determine if my concrete needs mudjacking?
Signs such as sinking, uneven surfaces, and visible cracks indicate that your concrete might benefit from mudjacking. Our team can assess your situation during a free consultation.
Q. How long does a typical mudjacking project take?
Most residential projects are completed within 1-3 hours, while larger commercial projects may take slightly longer. Our team will let you know an estimated timeline during our free consultation.
Q. How do you ensure the durability of the repair?
We use a natural, cement-based mixture that has been tested over decades. This material, combined with our expert application, ensures that your concrete remains stable for years to com. We also offer a 4-year warranty for added peace of mind.
Safety, Environment & Warranty Questions
Q. Is mudjacking safe for my property and the environment?
Yes. Our mudjacking process uses eco-friendly, natural materials that are safe for both your property and the environment.
Q. What safety measures do you take during a project?
Our team follows strict safety protocols during every phase of the mudjacking process—from precision drilling to slurry injection and final patching—ensuring minimal disruption and maximum protection for your property.
Q. How does mudjacking prevent future concrete sinking?
By filling voids and stabilizing the underlying soil, mudjacking not only lifts your concrete but also reduces the risk of future sinking. However, proper drainage and maintenance are key to long-term success.
Q. What if I experience further settling after a repair?
If you notice any issues after the repair, please contact us immediately. Our 4-year warranty covers many common issues, and we are committed to ensuring your satisfaction.
Q. How do I know if I need mudjacking or another type of repair?
