What lifting can fix
Ground in McLennan County runs from loamy flood-plain soils to heavy clays. The county soil survey's group of clayey upland soils, where Ferris, Heiden, Houston Black, Slidell and Sanger dominate, covers about 26 percent of the county; most of those soils have a high shrink-swell potential, and houses and roads built on them need designs that allow for it.
Lifting works when the slab is sound and the cause of the drop is dealt with. For mudjacking, holes typically 1½ to 2 inches wide are drilled or cored in a pattern through the low slab, and grout is pumped in under it. Foam needs smaller holes. NCFI Polyurethanes rates one of its water-resistant lifting foams at 80 psi in compression, with 95% of the cure done in 30 minutes and the rest by 24 hours.
If the slab cracked as it sank, see concrete repair in China Spring; a patio too far gone to lift may be better off as a new patio, and our China Spring page lists the rest.

Mudjacking questions
Why does a concrete slab sink in the first place?
Very often because the fill dirt under it was poorly compacted, one published guide says, though subsurface erosion and shrinking soils can do it too. Where roots or a leaking pipe have eroded the ground beneath a drive, replacing it may be the only choice.
How much does it cost to level a sunken patio?
National figures for 2026 put patio leveling at $810 to $3,150 by mudjacking, $900 to $3,500 with stone slurry grout and $1,215 to $4,725 with foam.
Can sunken concrete steps be lifted?
Steps are a listed leveling job. For a set of them, national 2026 prices run $890 to $2,160 for mudjacking, $990 to $2,400 for stone slurry grout and $1,335 to $3,240 for foam.
