Is Mudjacking Worth it?
In a previous article, we discussed why mudjacking is bad for your home.
This page answers the question, “Is mud jacking worth it?”
There’s a simple answer, so let’s jump right in.
Is Mudjacking Worth it?
Mudjacking is a traditional concrete lifting method that uses a heavy slurry mixture. This added weight can cause further concrete settlement, especially in soft soil or unstable ground conditions.
The effectiveness of mudjacking depends on the slurry’s quality, the soil conditions, and the repair technician’s expertise. These factors may worsen the problem by contributing to further settlement instead of preventing it, making mudjacking questionably worth pursuing.
Due to these uncertainties, many homeowners prefer polyurethane foam injection for concrete lifting and leveling. This innovative method is significantly lighter and helps prevent further settlement and soil erosion. Foam injections address the underlying cause of the damage, which mudjacking does not.
Is Mudjacking Expensive?
Concrete lifting and leveling service costs vary based on several factors, including:
- Damage Severity: Extensive damage requires additional materials and labor, increasing costs.
- Accessibility: Difficult-to-access areas may require specialized equipment, impacting cost.
- Material Costs: Polyurethane foam, cement grout, and mudjacking slurry material costs vary.
- Additional Services: Crack sealing or addressing other damages may require additional cost

Guys (Spencer & Ethan) were on time and explained what they were going to do. When the job was complete, they let me know when I could safely drive on it and answered more questions. They kept a very organized work area and cleaned up way more than I expected when they were done, I highly recommend this process if you aren't ready to totally replace your driveway – It is by far less expensive

Personally had a great experience with Dry Pro. Reggie was our initial point of contact and clearly explained the process, what it all entails, and worked with us on a financial plan to fit my budget. During the install there was Eric, Jose, Cole, and Ethan who were doing the work and they were great. Not only was the work quick, but it looks great and was clearly explained at the beginning and end of the process. Lastly, they were all respectful of my home and pets through the whole process which was huge for me.

Dry Pro did a very good job on my crawl space. Seth, Andrew, Dionte, and Gordon were professional, courteous, and did solid work. The insulation and encapsulation look clean and well done, and the crawl space now feels much better sealed and protected. I’m very pleased with the results and would recommend them.
