Sunken slabs on Waco clay: when a lift fits
A sinking slab very often sits on fill dirt that was never compacted well, and erosion underneath or shrinking soil can also be behind it. Houston Black, a clay found across the Blackland Prairies that take in Waco, absorbs water rapidly in its dry, cracked state and very slowly when moist.
When mudjacking is the wrong fix
InterNACHI, the home inspectors' association, rules out mudjacking where concrete has risen on expansive soil, where the surface is spalling or damaged, and where the cause of settling hasn't been dealt with. Spalled surfaces are a job for crack and spall repair, and a slab pitched the wrong way usually has to come out. Along a public sidewalk, the City permits no change in level greater than ¼ inch.

Find what moved
The free estimate checks whether a panel sank or its neighbour rose, and why.
Drill and fill the void
Mudjacking goes in through holes about 1½ to 2 inches across, foam through holes just ⅜ inch wide. Grout or foam is pumped under until the slab rises back toward its original level.
Patch and reopen
The holes are patched. Alchatek says its foam reaches 90% of full strength in about 15 minutes; for mudjacking, one guide says use at once, Alchatek up to a couple of days.

Mudjacking and foam leveling questions
Is concrete leveling worth it?
Often: one national guide says a new slab usually costs 50% to 70% more than leveling (2025). If a leaking pipe or tree roots under the slab turn out to be the cause, replacing it may be the only choice.
What are the drawbacks of concrete leveling?
It doesn't suit every slab: InterNACHI also rules mudjacking out over swampy soil or a sinkhole. Mudjacking's larger holes are easier to spot after patching than foam's.
Is mudjacking or foam better?
Alchatek, a foam maker, puts its foam at a typical 2 to 4 pounds per cubic foot, with mudjacking material at up to 100, and says foam resists water where mud doesn't. Grout is the cheaper material: in Austin-area 2026 figures, slurry runs $100 to $400 against $400 to $1,200 for foam.
What do they use for mudjacking?
Mostly portland cement and water, blended with limestone dust, fly ash or sand in some combination, plus additives.
