Concrete Repair and Leveling in Lubbock
Sunken slabs, trip-hazard edges and gaps usually mean soil under the concrete has moved or washed out. Leveling can cost less than replacing, but not every slab qualifies.
Signs you may need this
- A slab that has dropped or tilted
- Uneven edges at joints or the garage apron
- Voids or soft spots sounding hollow underneath
- Water pooling where it never used to
- Cracks that keep widening
What the work usually involves
- Inspect the slab and probe for voids
- Drill small injection holes through the slab
- Pump slurry or foam underneath to lift it
- Check level and patch the holes
- Address the water source that caused the settling

Common questions
How much does leveling cost?
Angi (2026 data) lists mudjacking at $3 to $6 per sq ft and polyjacking at $5 to $25; a driveway project is cited at $600 to $3,000.
Leveling or replacing?
HomeAdvisor says mudjacking is 25% to 50% less than replacing the slab, but a badly cracked slab may not be a candidate.
Why do slabs sink here?
Lubbock's annual rainfall has ranged from 8.73 to 40.55 inches, per a local foundation guide, and swings in soil moisture move soil.
Will it happen again?
If water keeps flowing under the slab, yes. Ask about drainage fixes.
