Older walks and drives that have settled
About 72% of West's housing units, 680 of 951 in the Census Bureau's 2020–2024 estimates, were built before 1980, though the margins are wide. One published guide traces a sinking slab, very often, to fill dirt that was poorly compacted, and names erosion underneath and shrinking soil as other possibilities.
At a shop or office, a dropped panel is also an access question. Under the 2010 ADA Standards, a lip of up to ¼ inch may be left vertical, a ¼- to ½-inch lip must be beveled at no more than 1:2, and a taller one is treated as a ramp.
Mudjacking material weighs as much as 100 pounds per cubic foot, while polyurethane lifting foam typically weighs 2 to 4. And because foam, unlike mud, resists water, its maker says it helps head off future erosion and settling from moisture.
A slab broken right through may need concrete repair in West instead, and a walk past saving can be poured new; the West services list has the rest.

How far it fell, and why
Before any drilling, the drop is measured and its reason found, since a home-inspector association rules out mudjacking where a slab rose on expansive soil or the settling has an unaddressed cause.
Drill ports and inject fill
Small ports are drilled through the low panel, and fill is pumped in below until the panel comes back up toward its neighbors.
Patch and use
Once the ports are filled, foam is at 90% of its strength within about 15 minutes, a foam maker says; mudjacking grout may need up to a couple of days.

Questions about raising a slab
What is mudjacking grout made of?
Portland cement and water form its base, one published guide says, with limestone dust, fly ash or sand mixed in, in some combination, and additives on top.
Can a crumbling or spalled slab still be lifted?
Not by mudjacking. InterNACHI, the home-inspector association, rules mudjacking out when the surface is spalling or otherwise damaged, and also over swampy soil or a sinkhole, so such a slab may need repair or replacement instead.
What does it cost to lift a sunken sidewalk?
In one national leveling price list for 2026, a sidewalk ran $675 to $2,160 by mudjacking, $750 to $2,400 with stone slurry grout and $1,015 to $3,240 with foam.
