What Is Mudjacking?
Mudjacking (also called slabjacking) raises sunken concrete by pumping a slurry of water, soil, sand, and cement through a pattern of holes drilled in the slab. As the slurry fills the voids underneath, hydraulic pressure lifts the concrete back toward level. Once the slab sits where it should, the holes are patched with fresh cement.
It is a proven method that has been leveling driveways for decades, and for many Tulsa jobs it remains the most cost-effective option on the table.
When Mudjacking Makes Sense
Budget is the priority. At roughly $3 to $6 per square foot in the Tulsa area, mudjacking is typically the cheapest way to fix settled concrete. If you are leveling a slab you plan to replace in a few years anyway, or prepping a house for sale, the economics are hard to beat.
Large, heavy slabs. The dense slurry provides substantial support under big slabs like garage floors and long driveway runs.
Stable soil underneath. When the settlement came from a one-time event (a leak that has been fixed, fill that has finished compacting), mudjacking holds well.
When Foam Is the Better Call
Mudjacking slurry is water-based and heavy. In spots with active water movement, near downspouts, along drainage paths, or anywhere Tulsa's spring storms concentrate runoff, slurry can erode over time the same way the original soil did. It also adds real weight to soil that may still be compressing. In those situations, polyurethane foam leveling usually lasts longer and is worth the higher price. An honest estimate will tell you which method fits your slab instead of pushing the expensive one by default.
What Mudjacking Costs vs. Replacement
A settled driveway section that would cost $2,500 to $4,000 to tear out and repour can often be mudjacked for $600 to $1,400. Sidewalk slabs that would cost $1,000+ to replace commonly lift for $300 to $600. The repair takes a few hours; replacement takes days plus a week of cure time. Full numbers are in our cost guide.

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What is mudjacking?
Mudjacking, also called slabjacking, raises sunken concrete by pumping a slurry of water, soil, sand, and cement through holes drilled in the slab. The slurry fills the voids underneath and hydraulic pressure lifts the slab back to level. It is the traditional method of concrete raising and remains the most budget-friendly option.
How much does mudjacking cost in Tulsa?
Mudjacking in the Tulsa area typically costs $3 to $6 per square foot. A single sunken sidewalk slab often runs $300 to $600, and a settled driveway section commonly runs $600 to $1,400. That is usually half or less of what replacement costs.
How long does mudjacking last?
A properly done mudjacking job commonly lasts 5 to 10 years. Because the slurry is water-based and heavy, it can erode or re-settle in soils with active water movement, which is why some Tulsa homeowners choose polyurethane foam for slabs near downspouts or drainage paths.
