Grout or foam under a sunken slab
Golinda counted 335 residents in 1980, 347 in 1990 and 423 in 2000, by the Texas State Historical Association's figures, and the 2020 Census found 618. Whatever a slab's age, lifting starts with finding what sank it.
One published guide says sinking slabs very often trace to poorly compacted fill dirt, with subsurface erosion and shrinking soils also possible. Slabjacking grout starts as portland cement and water; limestone dust, fly ash or sand, in some combination, and additives go in too, and mudjacking material can weigh as much as 100 pounds a cubic foot. Foam gets in through holes just 3/8 inch across, where grout needs 2 to 3 inches.
Cracked or spalled concrete is a repair job in Golinda rather than a lift, and a walk past saving goes under new sidewalks; the full list is on the Golinda page.

Find the low side and the cause
Each settled panel is checked for how far it dropped and what moved beneath it.
Drill the ports and pump
Small ports are drilled through the low panel, and grout or foam goes in until the slab meets its neighbors.
Open it back up
Foam hits 90% of full strength in roughly 15 minutes, while grout may want as long as a couple of days.

Grout, foam and cost questions
Which lifting material holds up better where water runs under a slab?
Foam. One published account notes that polyurethane, unlike mudjacking's mud, stands up to water, which helps keep the ground below from eroding and settling again.
Can a slab that is cracked and crumbling still be lifted?
Mudjacking isn't the fix there, by a home-inspector association's list of exceptions. A spalled or damaged surface heads it; the others are a slab pushed up by expansive soil, a settling cause left unfixed, swampy ground and a sinkhole.
What does foam leveling cost per square foot?
Two national 2025 guides differ: $8 to $25 a square foot for polyurethane foam in one, around $20 to $25 in the other.
