Sunken patios, walkways, driveways, and concrete steps can create unsightly tripping hazards that compromise safety and curb appeal. Mudjacking has been a reliable repair method for lifting and stabilizing concrete slabs that have sunk or settled over time. Our specialized team is highly skilled in leveling concrete steps, ensuring your home’s entryways are safe and even once again.
This process involves pumping a mortar-based slurry—made of water, soil, sand, and Portland cement—beneath the slab. The mixture fills empty spaces, evenly distributes pressure, and lifts the surface back into place. Once hardened, the material provides a stable, long-lasting foundation lighter than concrete yet more durable than soil.
Our team combines decades of expertise with advanced equipment to ensure precise application and lasting results. Not only does mudjacking save you money compared to slab replacement, but it also provides a faster and cleaner alternative, giving you immediate relief.
Say goodbye to uneven surfaces and the risks they bring. Enjoy safer, more beautiful spaces with our proven solutions.
Uneven concrete can pose serious safety risks and diminish your property’s appearance. Whether it’s a sinking patio, cracked driveway, or sloping walkway, Ogburn Concrete’s mud jacking service effectively restores stability and functionality.
Our experts inspect the area to assess the extent of settling and identify voids beneath the slab. This ensures an accurate diagnosis and tailored solution.
Small holes are drilled into the affected slab to allow access for the slurry injection. These are strategically placed to maximize lifting efficiency without causing additional damage.
A specially formulated mix of water, soil, sand, and Portland cement is pumped under the slab. This slurry fills empty spaces, stabilizes the soil, and gently lifts the slab back to its original position.
Once the slab is level, the slurry hardens into a solid, durable base that prevents future settling.
Each step contributes to a comprehensive, cost-effective repair that minimizes downtime and disruption. For an even longer-lasting alternative, we can provide a detailed comparison of foam injection vs. mudjacking to help you choose the best technology for your specific soil conditions. Ask about our PolyLevel® system, which uses lightweight, expanding foam to achieve similar results with added durability.
While mudjacking can effectively lift heavy concrete structures when paired with slab piers, it is not suitable as a standalone solution for lifting a footing or floor slab in your home. This technique often struggles to support both a slab and the heavy partition walls on top of it, leading to uneven lifting that can cause structural issues.
Additionally, mudjacking is a temporary fix. Even with voids filled, the underlying soil may continue to settle over time, requiring repeated repairs. For a more permanent solution, we often recommend installing slab piers or opting for PolyLevel®, which provides lasting stability.
Mudjacking is also not a DIY project. It requires specialized equipment, expertise, and a thorough understanding of local soil conditions. Trained contractors should always handle repairs to ensure safety and precision.

Answers to Common Concrete Concerns
Mudjacking lifts a sunken concrete slab by pumping a slurry of water, soil, sand, and cement under it. The mix fills empty spaces and pushes the slab up as it hardens.
Price depends on slab size, how far it has settled, access, and any finish work. We inspect for free and give you a written quote so you know the exact cost.
Mudjacking is often a short-term fix because the soil can keep settling. Many homeowners end up repeating the process later.
Repair is usually faster and cleaner than tearing out and pouring new concrete. We prefer modern PolyLevel foam because it cures in about 15 minutes and allows a more precise lift than mudjacking.
Not a good idea. It needs special pumps and training, so it should be done by a pro.
The slurry is heavy at about 120 pounds per cubic foot, which adds weight to already weak soil. Lifts can be hard to control and the fix is often temporary.
Cure time can take several days before heavy use. With our PolyLevel alternative, most slabs are ready for traffic in about 15 minutes.
