Concrete Lifting / Mudjacking

Mudjacking & Concrete Leveling Services in Pennsylvania

What Is Concrete Leveling?

Concrete leveling — also called mudjacking or concrete lifting — is a process used to raise uneven or sunken concrete surfaces without replacing the slab. Material is injected beneath the concrete to lift and stabilize sidewalks, driveways, patios, garage floors, and commercial slabs.

Concrete Alternatives provides concrete leveling and mudjacking services throughout Pennsylvania, including Scranton, Wilkes-Barre, Allentown, Hazleton, and surrounding areas.

Signs You May Need Concrete Leveling

You may need concrete leveling if you notice:
  • uneven sidewalks
  • sinking driveways
  • trip hazards
  • pooling water
  • cracked patios
  • settling garage floors
Early repairs can help prevent additional damage, drainage issues, and safety hazards.

Step 1 – Drill Access Holes

A pattern of 1-1/2 inch holes are drilled through the sunken slab.

Step 2 – Lift The Concrete Slab

Specialized equipment pumps grout beneath the slab to lift and stabilize the concrete surface.

Step 3 – Patch & Finish

The drilled holes are patched using a concrete mixture for a clean finished appearance.

Why Choose Mudjacking Instead of Replacement?

Mudjacking is typically faster, less disruptive, and more affordable than full concrete replacement. Most projects can be completed in one day while preserving the existing concrete surface.
