Two ways to lift a slab
Concrete slab lifting with polyurethane foam.
Structural polyurethane is injected beneath the settled slab, where it expands, fills the voids that let the slab drop, and lifts the concrete back toward level. The foam cures in minutes, and most slabs are back in use the same day.
Mudjacking.
The original concrete leveling method: a cement-based slurry pumped beneath a settled slab to fill the voids under it and raise it back to level. For the right slab it remains the economical way to fix sunken concrete without tearing it out.
One is not universally better. Slab condition, soil, access, and budget pick the method. If the settlement traces to a drainage problem or foundation movement rather than simple soil failure, the evaluation says so, because lifting a slab over an active washout only rents the result.
