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?

CFI speaking to homeowners about a crack in their concrete driveway in front of their home.

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
