How Much Does Mudjacking Cost?

Learn how much you can expect to pay for mudjacking your settled concrete.

Are you considering mudjacking your settled concrete but wondering how much you’ll need to cover the costs? 

In order to answer this question, we’ve compiled this guide, drawing on over 30 years of industry insight and data from sources like Angi.

Here at A-1 Concrete Leveling, we specialize in stone slurry grout leveling and polyjacking, but we know mudjacking is an option many concrete leveling customers want to learn more about.

So, let’s get started by first looking at an overview of mudjacking cost ranges for different areas around your home!

Mudjacking Cost Overview

This chart shows the average high and low ranges for mudjacking prices. We will break down what the high and low ranges in this chart mean for each service later on.

Mudjacking Cost per Square Foot

Mudjacking costs between $3 and $8 per square foot on average, according to Angi.

However, this can be a misleading way to estimate the cost of mudjacking. Instead of solely relying on the surface square footage, most professionals account for the depth of voids under the slab and the amount of lifting necessary when deciding the cost of mudjacking. 

Deeper or bigger voids and more lift mean more material and time spent on the repair, therefore a higher cost.

How Much Does Mudjacking Cost by Service Type?

Cost To Mudjack a Sidewalk

Sidewalk mudjacking could cost around $675 for 2 to 6 sections of sidewalk that haven’t settled more than 2-3 inches and aren’t “twisted” or leaning heavily to one side.

An entire sidewalk that has to be lifted up 4 or more inches, has a big void underneath, and/or is leaning or twisted may cost around $2,160 on the higher end of the spectrum. 

Cost To Mudjack a Garage Floor

On the lower end of the spectrum, garage floor mudjacking may cost around $810 for a small corner of the garage that requires only minor lifting. 

A larger 3 to 4-car garage that requires more lifting to get it back to the right position could cost around $4,050 or more.

Cost To Mudjack a Porch

Mudjacking a smaller porch, up to 165 square feet, could cost around $1,080 in the lower range. 

A large or wrap-around style porch that has to be lifted up 4+ inches and/or has a large void underneath (6+ inches) would be considered in the higher range and could cost around $5,400.

Cost To Mudjack a Pool Deck

Mudjacking a pool deck could cost around $1,350 for one end or side of a pool deck, which could be 4 to 6 sections of concrete. It’s common to have larger voids under pool decks than other similarly sized concrete areas, like a sidewalk or small patio.

For an entire pool deck with connected patio areas that tie into the overall repair and more than 6 inches of void throughout, mudjacking could cost around $3,960 or more.

Cost To Mudjack a Driveway

Mudjacking 1 to 2 driveway panels could cost around $810 on the low end of the spectrum.

An entire larger driveway, and possibly a second horseshoe driveway, that requires larger amounts of lifting or has larger voids underneath could cost around $3,780 to mudjack.

Cost To Mudjack Concrete Steps

Mudjacking a smaller set of steps that require less lift (e.g. lifting 2 to 4 steps up 2 to 3 inches) could cost around $890.

Mudjacking 6 or more steps that require a moderate to large amount of lifting could cost around $2,160.

Cost To Mudjack a Patio

Mudjacking a small patio (approximately 100 to 150 square feet) that requires less than 2 inches of lifting could cost around $810.

Mudjacking a larger patio (approximately 350 square feet or more) that has large voids or requires a large amount of lifting could cost around $3,150.

Cost To Mudjack an Interior Floor

Mudjacking the floor in 1 to 2 rooms that require minimal lifting and don’t require navigating around many complexities (like additional rooms, cabinetry, or bathrooms) could cost around $1,260.

Mudjacking in 4 to 6 rooms that require moderate lifting and more complex navigation around the property to get from room to room may cost around $5,400.

Cost To Mudjack an A/C Pad

Mudjacking a small A/C pad with easy access around the unit and that requires minimal lifting could cost around $675.

A larger A/C pad with a larger unit, larger voids, a tight space to work in, and/or that requires more lifting could cost around $1,260 on the high end of the spectrum.

What Influences Mudjacking Cost?

The mudjacking costs provided above are approximate ranges. The final price of your mudjacking project will depend on many factors, but the main ones are listed here:

• Size

How much empty space there is under the slabs coupled with the number of slabs that need to be lifted make up the size of the repair. 

The larger the voids or number of slabs to lift, the greater the amount of material and time needed for the repair. As a result, mudjacking becomes more expensive based on the size of the repair.

• Accessibility

How easy or difficult it is to get to the mudjacking site and any physical obstacles in the way can influence the cost, as it can be a challenge to reach with the mudjacking equipment and hoses. 

Easily accessible areas, like a driveway or front walkway, will generally be less expensive to mudjack than a hard-to-reach pool deck with lots of plumbing, fences, and furniture to work around.

• Location

The cost of living in a specific area affects labor and material costs. Mudjacking in cities and states with higher costs of living will usually cost more than in other locations.

Mudjacking vs. Foam Cost

In general, foam concrete leveling tends to cost anywhere from 20-50% more than mudjacking or stone slurry grout leveling.

This depends on many factors, like the ones mentioned above – the size, complexity, and location where the foam leveling takes place will influence the overall cost.
