Mudjacking vs. Polyurethane Foam: Which Concrete Leveling Method is Best?

If your driveway, sidewalk, or patio has sunken or uneven concrete, you may want to fix it without replacing the whole slab. Two common ways to level concrete are mudjacking and polyurethane foam injection. Both methods lift concrete, but they work in different ways. Here’s how they compare to help you choose the best one for your project.
What Is Mudjacking?
Mudjacking means drilling holes in the sunken concrete and pumping in a thick mix of water, soil, and cement. This mix fills the space under the slab and lifts it back into place.

- Works well for large, heavy slabs
- Uses natural materials
Cons of Mudjacking:
- Needs larger drill holes
- Heavy mix may sink again over time
- Takes longer to dry before use
What Is Polyurethane Foam?
This method uses smaller holes to inject a special foam under the concrete. The foam … Read More
