Find out how much you can expect to pay for professional concrete leveling services.
Concrete leveling can save your concrete – and save you up to 70% off the cost of replacement in the process.
This sounds great and all, but just how much will it actually cost you?
Here at A-1 Concrete Leveling, we’ve been lifting settled concrete for over 30 years nationwide. With this experience, we’ve put together this comprehensive guide to cover all things concrete leveling pricing.
While you won’t have a definitive number until you get an estimate from a professional concrete leveling company, this article will help you get an idea of what to expect.

Concrete Leveling Costs by Concrete Leveling Method
Stone Slurry Grout Concrete Leveling
Stone slurry grout concrete leveling uses an all-natural mixture of pulverized limestone and water pumped below a settled concrete slab to gradually raise it back up to the right position.
Stone slurry grout leveling costs between $750 and $6,000+, depending on the job. This big range can seem kind of scary, but in reality, most stone slurry grout leveling repairs cost between $1,100 and $1,500 on average.

Foam Concrete Lifting
Foam concrete leveling (also called “polyjacking”) works by injecting a two-part closed-cell polyurethane foam under a settled concrete slab. When the two parts combine, they expand and lift the concrete back up.
Due to the higher material costs associated with synthetic polyurethane foam, the cost is usually 20-50% higher than other options. It can range between $875 and $8,100 or more, depending on the job.

Mudjacking
Mudjacking uses a mixture of soil, sand, and water pumped below the settled concrete to lift it back up to the right position, usually at a high speed and pressure.
Mudjacking is usually the least expensive concrete leveling option of the three with prices ranging between $585 and $5,400+ depending on the job.

Concrete Leveling Price per Square Foot
Mudjacking can cost between $3 and $8 per square foot according to Angi, while polyjacking can cost between $5 and $25 per square foot, according to sources across the web.
While this may be true in some cases, using square footage to calculate the cost of concrete leveling isn’t accurate.
Instead, professionals look at the depth of the voids under the slabs and the total amount of lifting needed (which may be more than it seems) when calculating the final price.
By just measuring the surface area, you’d miss many important details that influence the actual price. For this reason, we don’t have a simple in-house answer to this question here at A-1.
What Influences the Cost of Concrete Leveling?
The price ranges listed in this article are estimates to give you a ballpark idea of how much concrete leveling may cost.
In reality, many different factors go into determining the final cost of your concrete leveling project. Here are just a few:
-
Size
The size of a concrete leveling job includes the number of slabs to lift, how high they need to be lifted, and the depth of the voids underneath. The bigger the job, the more time and material are needed to complete it, meaning a higher cost.
-
Accessibility
How easy or hard it is to access the concrete leveling job site will also impact the final cost. Navigating around obstacles like fences, pipes, tree roots, etc., and working in hard-to-reach parts of your property will usually lead to increased costs.
-
Location
A higher or lower cost of living in a given region will cause the cost of labor, fuel, materials, etc. to fluctuate, which in turn means a higher or lower final concrete leveling cost.
-
Material
Natural materials used in some concrete leveling compounds are generally less expensive than synthetic foams.
-
Crack Repair
Filling gaps and cracks is crucial to maintaining concrete leveling repairs long-term. Caulking cracks and gaps is usually included in the total price, and if you have more cracks that need to be caulked, it will end up costing more.
Concrete Leveling Cost Minimums
All companies have fixed costs that they must cover to stay profitable. Because of this, minimum costs do exist for many concrete leveling repairs.
Minimum costs can range anywhere from $300 to $2,000 depending on the area and the concrete leveling service provider.
How Much Will Concrete Leveling Cost You?
While you won’t know exactly how much it will cost to lift your settled concrete until you have an expert inspect the area and provide a detailed quote, this article can serve as a great starting point to get a ballpark idea of numbers.
