What goes under a lifted slab
The 2020 Census counted 575 housing units in Moody, 502 of them occupied. Around any of them, a walk, drive panel, patio or step that has dropped can sometimes be lifted instead of torn out.
The grout, in one published guide's description, mixes portland cement and water with limestone dust, fly ash, sand or some blend of them, along with additives. Alchatek, which makes lifting foam, puts its foam's typical weight at 2 to 4 pounds per cubic foot; mudjacking material can reach 100.
When a lift won't hold
InterNACHI, the home inspectors' association, rules out mudjacking where a slab has risen because of expansive soil, where the soil underneath is swampy, or over a sinkhole. Cracked or broken panels are a job for concrete repair in Moody instead, and the Moody list shows every job.

(254) 309-9254Raising a sunken slab: measure, pump, reopen
Gauge the drop and its cause
Each sunken panel is measured, and the reason it sank looked for, before any hole is drilled.
Pump it back up
Grout or foam is pumped through a pattern of drilled holes until the panel rises back into line.
Use it again
Alchatek says its foam is at 90% strength within about a quarter hour; mudjacking grout can need up to a couple of days.

Questions about how long a lift lasts
Does lifting foam hold up when the ground gets wet?
Alchatek, a foam maker, says it does: foam stands up to water in a way mud doesn't, which helps head off the erosion and settling that moisture causes later.
Why might a lifted slab sink again?
Lifting fills the void; it doesn't fix why the ground gave way. One published guide names poorly compacted fill dirt as a very common cause, with subsurface erosion and shrinking soils also possible, and InterNACHI warns against mudjacking where the cause of the settling isn't addressed.
Can a slab with a crumbling surface be leveled?
InterNACHI says mudjacking isn't appropriate when the slab's surface is spalling or otherwise damaged, and one published guide adds that extensive spalling usually means replacing the slab.
