Ever wonder what's actually happening when a crew "mudjacks" a driveway? It's a cement-based slurry pumped under the slab through small holes, adding weight and filling the void so the concrete floats back level. It's the older cousin of foam injection, and it's still the right call for certain jobs.
Older subdivisions in The Colony often have original slabs that respond well to traditional mudjacking. The added weight of the slurry works with soil that's already compacted, rather than fighting against it. The Colony Concrete Lifting picks between foam and slurry based on what the slab and the soil underneath actually need.

Mudjacking / Slab-Jacking FAQs
How to raise concrete that has settled?
Mudjacking pumps a cement-based slurry beneath the slab through small holes, filling the void left by settled soil. The added weight and volume lift the concrete back to grade in one visit.
How much does Concrete Lifting cost in The Colony?
Mudjacking pricing depends on slab size, slurry volume needed, and how hard the area is to access. A driveway with a deep void costs more than a small patio panel. Ask for a free estimate for your specific job.
How soon can I drive on my driveway after mudjacking?
Plan on waiting until the next day. The slurry needs time to firm up before it can handle vehicle weight, unlike foam which is often drivable the same day.
Is mudjacking better than foam for my slab?
It depends on the slab. Mudjacking's extra weight suits soil that's already compacted. Foam is lighter and faster-curing, better where quick turnaround matters more than added mass.
