How much should you actually expect to pay for concrete lifting services in 2025?
Concrete leveling is one of the smartest ways to restore sunken or uneven slabs. Not only can it bring your driveway, sidewalk, patio, or garage floor back to a safe, attractive condition, it usually costs up to 70% less than full replacement.
But how much should you actually expect to pay in 2025?
TL;DR
Concrete leveling costs typically fall between $750 and $6,000+, depending on the method and the scope of your project.
- Mudjacking is generally the cheapest but less precise.
- Foam injection (polyjacking) is the most expensive due to higher material costs.
- Stone slurry grout sits in the middle, offering an precise, durable, and cost-effective solution.
The exact price depends on factors like slab size, how much lift is needed, site access, and your location.

Concrete Leveling Costs by Method
Stone Slurry Grout Concrete Leveling
Stone slurry grout leveling uses a natural mixture of pulverized limestone and water, pumped beneath the slab to raise it gradually. It’s durable, eco-friendly, and precise.
- Costs typically range from $750 to $6,000+
- The majority of jobs fall between $1,100 and $1,500.
Because the material is natural and locally sourced, it’s less expensive than foam. Many homeowners find this option the best balance between price and performance.

Foam Concrete Lifting
Foam concrete leveling relies on a two-part polyurethane foam injected below the slab. The foam expands rapidly, filling voids and lifting concrete back into place. While it cures quickly, the synthetic foam is costly.
- Material cost increases service prices by 20 to 50% compared to other options.
- Expect to pay between $875 and $8,100+ for this service.

Mudjacking
Mudjacking is the oldest concrete leveling method, using a mixture of soil, sand, and water. The material is pumped in under the slab in order to lift it.
- Generally the least expensive option, with costs running $585 to $5,400+.
- High-pressure pumping is less precise and can contribute to future re-settling due to improper void-fill.

Concrete Leveling Price per Square Foot
Mudjacking costs between $3 and $6 per square foot according to Angi, and foam leveling runs $5 to $25 per square foot according to sources across the web.
While square footage can provide a rough idea, it’s not the most reliable way to calculate. Contractors look at the depth of voids under the slab and the total amount of lift needed, not just surface dimensions.
Pro Tip: A small slab with a deep void can sometimes cost more than a large slab with only minor settling.
What Factors Influence the Cost of Concrete Leveling?
Beyond the method used, several factors affect your final price:
- Size and scope of the job: More slabs, deeper voids, and higher lifts require more material and labor.
- Accessibility: Hard-to-reach areas, obstacles like fences or landscaping, and limited equipment access increase labor time.
- Location: Costs vary by region based on labor rates, fuel, and material pricing.
- Material choice: Local, natural limestone slurry is less expensive than synthetic polyurethane foam.
- Crack repair needs: Caulking is often included in pricing, but extensive cracks may raise costs.
Concrete Leveling Cost Minimums
Concrete leveling cost minimums usually range between $300 and $2,000, depending on the contractor and region. Every company has a minimum service charge to cover fixed costs like:
- Equipment
- Leveling material
- Labor
- Travel
This means that even a small repair, like lifting one sidewalk slab, will usually fall into this minimum range.
