Concrete Leveling by Legacy General Contractor
CONCRETE LEVELING — MUDJACKING & POLYURETHANE FOAM LIFTING FOR SETTLED SLABS
Settled, uneven concrete creates trip hazards and drainage problems. We offer two leveling methods: traditional mudjacking (pumping a cement slurry beneath the slab to lift it back to grade) and polyurethane foam lifting (injecting expanding foam for precise, lightweight lifting). Both methods restore proper grade and drainage through small drilled holes — no demolition or replacement required.
Starting at $500 per project

Mudjacking (Slabjacking)
Pump cement-sand slurry beneath settled concrete to lift and level. Cost-effective for driveways, sidewalks, garage floors, and patios.

Mudjacking
pump cement slurry beneath settled slabs through small drilled holes to lift concrete back to proper grade.
Polyurethane foam lifting
inject expanding foam beneath slabs for precise, lightweight, waterproof lifting.
Fix trip hazards
eliminate dangerous uneven transitions between slabs on driveways, sidewalks, and patios.
Restore drainage
re-establish proper slope and grade so water flows away from buildings instead of ponding.
Why Choose Our Concrete Leveling
Concrete leveling costs 50-75% less than full slab replacement and can be completed in a single day with minimal disruption.
We use both mudjacking and foam lifting and recommend the right method for each situation based on slab size, weight sensitivity, and access.
Same-day use — you can walk on leveled concrete immediately and drive on it within hours, depending on the method used.
Signs You Need Concrete Leveling
1. Uneven sidewalk or driveway sections
When slab sections have settled and created a lip or step between them, leveling restores a smooth, safe transition.
2. Water pooling on concrete
Settled slabs create low spots where water pools instead of draining. Leveling restores proper slope.
3. Garage floor sloping away from drain
Settled garage floors that no longer drain properly can be lifted back to correct grade.
Our Concrete Leveling Process
Step 1 — Assessment
Identify settled areas, measure displacement, and determine if the slab is a good candidate for leveling vs. replacement.
Step 2 — Drilling
Drill small holes (1-2 inch diameter) through the slab at strategic locations for material injection.
Step 3 — Lifting
Pump mudjacking slurry or polyurethane foam beneath the slab. Monitor elevation as the slab lifts to desired grade.
Step 4 — Patching
Patch drill holes with matching concrete. Clean up the work area.

FAQs About Concrete Leveling
Mudjacking vs. foam lifting — which is better?
Both methods work well. Mudjacking costs less but adds significant weight. Foam lifting costs more but is lighter, waterproof, and more precise. Foam is better for weight-sensitive applications (pool decks, second-floor slabs). Mudjacking is economical for driveways and sidewalks.
How long does concrete leveling last?
Leveling typically lasts 8-10+ years. If the underlying soil issue (poor compaction, erosion, tree roots) is addressed, results can be permanent. Some settling may recur if soil conditions aren't corrected.
