Slab jacking in Metro Detroit: what to expect
Slab jacking lifts sunken concrete by pumping material under it through small holes. Traditional mudjacking uses a cement slurry; polyurethane foam lifting uses a lighter expanding foam and smaller holes.
In Metro Detroit, walks, patios, porch slabs, garage floors and driveways settle when soil washes out or was poorly compacted, and freeze-thaw makes it worse. A slab that tips toward the house can send water to the foundation, so lifting it can help a wet basement.
Badly broken slabs may need replacement instead; see concrete leveling or concrete repair. A sinking foundation needs piers, not slab jacking.
What a proper job includes
- An assessment of how far each slab has settled and why
- Drilling of injection holes in a planned pattern
- Controlled lifting to restore slope and drainage
- Patching of holes to match as closely as possible
- Sealing of joints and cracks where included
- Cleanup and written warranty
- Downspout or grading advice so the soil under the slab is not washed out again
What drives the price
- Number and size of slabs
- How far each slab needs to be raised
- Material: cement slurry or polyurethane foam
- Voids under the slab that need extra fill
- Joint sealing and crack repair
- Access to the work area, such as slabs behind fences or under decks
- Removing and resetting items on the slab, like steps or railings

Permits and licensing in Michigan
Lifting an existing slab is usually treated as a repair, but rules for driveway approaches and public sidewalks vary by city, and work in the right of way can need a separate permit. Confirm with your local building or engineering department (BSEED in Detroit).
Concrete work is a Michigan Maintenance and Alteration Contractor trade, and jobs above a threshold set by state law need a licensed contractor. Check the license on the LARA lookup.
