Mudjacking is the proven, lower-cost way to lift a large slab, and it's still the right call on bigger driveways and patios where foam's per-square-foot price adds up fast. Rockwall Concrete Lifting pumps a cement-and-sand slurry mix beneath the slab to fill the void that expansive clay soil left behind, then raises it back to grade.

FAQs
Traditional Mudjacking FAQs
Is mudjacking better than foam for clay soil?
Mudjacking works well on large slabs and costs less per square foot, though its heavier slurry fill can be more affected by ongoing clay soil movement than lightweight foam. We'll recommend based on your specific slab.
How much does it cost to level a sidewalk section versus a whole driveway?
A single sidewalk panel typically runs $300–$800, while a full driveway using mudjacking runs $4–$8 per square foot depending on size.
How long before I can park on a mudjacked driveway?
Plan on 24–48 hours of cure time before putting full vehicle weight back on the slab.
Does mudjacking work on older slabs?
Mudjacking has been used for decades and works well on older, thicker slabs common in established Rockwall neighborhoods.
Can mudjacking be rented and done as a DIY project?
The pump equipment and slurry mix ratio require experience to avoid over-lifting or cracking the slab, this isn't typically a rental-equipment DIY job.
