WHY HOUSTON SLABS SINK

Gumbo soil, flat lots,
nowhere for water to go.

Houston’s clay swells in the wet season and shrinks in drought, and flat lots drain slowly. Water that pools against a slab finds the void under it, and the slab follows.

Where to look first: Look where downspouts empty and where the patio meets the foundation.

We list 16 crews here, each one checked on its own site for concrete lifting in Houston. 11 do foam, 4 do mudjacking. Coverage reaches Pasadena, League City, Katy, Humble, Friendswood, Richmond.

COMMON SURFACES

What sinks, and what to ask

If the slab is cracked into pieces or crumbling, lifting won’t save it. If it’s whole but sunk, it usually can be lifted.

01

Driveways

Usually the apron at the garage drops first. Ask if they’ll seal the joints afterward, because that’s where water gets in.

02

Sidewalks

A 1-inch trip edge is a lawsuit waiting to happen. Ask how many panels they’ll lift to make it flush.

03

Patios

A patio tipped toward the house sends rain at your foundation. Ask them to set it back to slope away.

04

Garage floors

Foam works well here: small holes and you can park on it the same day. Crack repair is usually extra.

05

Steps & stoops

A stoop pulling away from the house is common, and heavy. Ask whether they lift it whole or need to anchor it.

A QUICK METHOD CHECK

Mudjacking or
polyjacking?

Mud is cheaper and heavier. Foam costs more, leaves smaller holes and you can drive on it the same day. Neither one fixes bad drainage.

See the comparison
Mudjacking

Cement slurry pumped through 1–2 in. holes. Usually $4–$9 per sq. ft. nationally.

Foam lifting

Expanding polyurethane through ⅝ in. holes. Usually $8–$25 per sq. ft. nationally.

National ranges from HomeGuide, not Houston bids.

COST CONTEXT

Cheaper than tearing it out.
Usually by a lot.

HomeGuide reports a broad national concrete leveling range of $3–$12 per square foot on average, with a wider reported range of $2–$25 depending on method, location, project size, and complexity. We do not have verified local price data for this metro.
