Older walks, sunken steps and the cause below
Some of Marlin's houses are very old: the Census Bureau's 2020–2024 survey estimates count 360 housing units built in 1939 or earlier. When the walk or steps at a house like that have dropped, lifting is worth checking before a tear-out.
The cause comes first. If roots are pushing under the slab or a leak is eroding the soil below, replacing it may be the only choice. Every fix of this kind is temporary in the end, even if it lasts for years.
Two materials do the lifting. Mudjacking slurry weighs as much as 100 pounds per cubic foot; lifting foam, by Alchatek's figures, typically only 2 to 4. The same foam maker says foam, unlike mud, resists water, which helps head off future erosion and settling.
A spalling or damaged surface belongs with concrete repair instead, a walk past saving with new sidewalks in Marlin; see the full Marlin service list too.

Look for the cause
Downspouts, leaks and washed-out soil are checked first, since lifting isn't appropriate until the cause of the settling is dealt with.
Ports, then fill
A few small holes are bored through the sunken panel, and grout or foam is pushed beneath it until it sits at its original level again.
Plug the ports
The ports are filled in. Alchatek puts foam at 90% of its total strength within about 15 minutes, while grout can need as long as a couple of days.

Questions about raising old concrete
Can a slab over soft, swampy ground be lifted?
Not by mudjacking, according to the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors, which rules it out where the soil underneath is swampy or a sinkhole lies beneath the concrete. Its list also excludes slabs that expansive soil has pushed up and surfaces that are spalling.
Does lifting steps cost more than lifting a sidewalk?
Only at the low end. On the same 2026 national price list, steps run $990 to $2,400 with stone slurry grout, $1,335 to $3,240 with foam and $890 to $2,160 by mudjacking. Set against the sidewalk figures in the ticket, the top of each range is the same.
Do slab-lifting crews charge by the hour?
A 2026 national guide puts mudjacking labor at $45 to $70 an hour, while most companies charge $3 to $8 a square foot for the work itself.
