Mudjacking in Eagle Mountain, Utah
Mudjacking is one of the most effective ways to raise and stabilize sunken concrete. It is tried, tested, and trusted by homeowners across Utah for good reason. If your concrete has settled, this could be all it needs.
What Is Mudjacking and How Does It Work?
Mudjacking is a concrete repair method that has been used for decades. Also called slab jacking or pressure grouting, the process involves drilling small holes through a settled concrete slab and pumping a dense slurry mixture underneath it.
The slurry fills the void beneath the slab and creates upward pressure that raises the concrete back to the correct level. Once the slab is in place, the access holes are patched and the work is done.
The slurry used in mudjacking is typically a mix of water, soil, sand, and cement. It is heavy, dense, and provides strong long-term support once it cures beneath the slab. It is a natural complement to the soil already in place under your concrete.
Mudjacking works very well for driveways, sidewalks, patios, and other residential concrete slabs that have settled due to soil movement or voids forming underneath.
Mudjacking Versus Polyurethane Foam Lifting
Homeowners sometimes ask about the difference between mudjacking and the newer polyurethane foam lifting method. Both accomplish the same goal: filling the void beneath a sunken slab and raising it back into position. There are real differences, though, and which one is right for you depends on your situation.
| Factor | Mudjacking | Polyurethane Foam |
|---|---|---|
| Material weight | Heavy (adds weight) | Very light |
| Cure time | 24 to 48 hours to drive on | Often same day |
| Hole size | 1 to 2 inch diameter | Smaller, dime-sized |
| Cost | Lower upfront cost | Higher upfront cost |
| Best for | Driveways, large slabs | Delicate areas, speed priority |
