Slab lifting and Woodway's permit rule
Woodway's permit list includes "All concrete work such as drives, sidewalks, porches, patios, etc." It doesn't say whether lifting a slab counts, and we found no flatwork fee in the City's schedule, so ask the Inspections & Planning Division first.
Grout or foam under the slab
Mudjacking works in nearly any weather, and the job often runs under half the price of replacing the slab. One slab-lifting foam's data sheet, from NCFI Polyurethanes in Missouri City, Texas, lists 80 psi compressive strength, reaching 95% of its cure in 30 minutes and a full cure in 24 hours.
Broken concrete goes to Woodway concrete repair instead, and a drive with deeper trouble may need a new driveway in Woodway; the Woodway service list has the rest.

Drill and inject
Holes are drilled or cored in a pattern across the low panel, and grout or foam is injected until it rises.
Fill the holes and check the fall
The holes are filled to match the surface, and the slope is checked so water runs off again.

Questions about lifting a slab
Does mudjacking really work?
On the right slab. Concrete that dropped because the base under it washed out can sometimes be jacked back to its first slope, and the method often suits smaller slabs like walks and patios. It can't correct a slab poured with the wrong pitch, which generally means tearing it out, and roots or a leaking pipe underneath can leave replacement as the only option.
Is there a penalty in Woodway for skipping a concrete permit?
Yes. Under the Master Fee Schedule that took effect October 1, 2026, working without a required permit doubles the permit fee for a first offense, and costs double plus $200.00 after that.
How big are the holes drilled for mudjacking?
Typically 1½ to 2 inches across, drilled or cored in a pattern through the sunken slab. Alchatek, a foam maker, puts mudjacking holes at 2 to 3 inches and says foam injection needs holes of only 3/8 inch.
