Sinking Slab Repair FAQ
Common questions about sinking slab repair in Charlotte, NC.
Should I lift the slab or replace it?
If the drop is under 3 inches and the slab itself is not broken into multiple pieces, a lift will hold. If the drop is over 3 inches or the slab is already cracked into panels, the base has to be reworked with the slab out of the way — that is a replacement. We tell you which one on site.
Mudjacking or polyurethane foam?
Mudjacking is cheaper per square foot and works fine on driveways and patios where the void is bigger. Polyurethane foam uses smaller ports (about 5/8" vs 1.5"), lifts more precisely, and holds up better in wet soil. On a pool deck or under a step where the aesthetic matters, foam wins. On a big driveway settlement, mudjacking often wins on price.
How much does slab lifting cost in Charlotte?
Mudjacking runs $3–$7 per square foot depending on the number of ports and the lift height. Polyurethane foam runs $8–$15 per square foot. Replacement (when the slab cannot be lifted) runs $6–$10 per square foot on a driveway or patio.
