At a glance
- Angi reports a normal range of $662 to $1,884; HomeGuide reports $700 to $5,000.
- Foam costs more per square foot than mud: $5 to $25 against $3 to $9, depending on the guide.
- The American Concrete Institute says slabjacking often costs less than half as much as a new slab, but lifting does not fix poor soil.
- Every figure comes from an aggregator or seller, and Angi and HomeAdvisor share a parent company; we found no neutral cost data.

On this page
Concrete leveling is one of the cheaper repairs on a house, and the published ranges show it, though they do not agree: one guide’s normal range ends under $2,000 and another’s runs to $5,000. This page shows what each source says, with the date we checked it, where they disagree, and what to look at when you have real bids in hand.
It is background for reading bids, not a price for your slab. Every project is different. These ranges are not a quote.
Yes Home Pros is a directory. We do not lift slabs, and paid placement never changes a rating or badge. See how we list and rank pros. For how the methods work and when a slab should be replaced instead, read the concrete leveling guide.
The headline range, and who is saying it
| Source | Typical total | Date checked | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Angi | Average $1,242; normal range $662 to $1,884 | Sep 4, 2026 | Says it is based on 2,631 Angi Pro projects. Angi is a lead-generation business. Called “the lead-generation guide” below. |
| HomeGuide | $700 to $5,000 total; $3 to $12 per square foot | Nov 3, 2025 | Minimum charge listed at $300 to $700 or more. |
| Bob Vila | Average $1,174; typical $630 to $1,723 | Aug 31, 2023 | Attributes its figures to the lead-generation sites, so it is not independent. Older than the others. |
These are aggregators, not government or university data. We found no neutral cost survey for concrete leveling. Bob Vila repeats numbers from the same family of sites as the lead-generation guide, and the lead-generation sites share a parent company, so agreement among them does not confirm anything.
None of the three explains how it separates small patio repairs from long driveways, which is a large part of why “average” tells you little.
Prices by type of work
The method changes the price per square foot. These are the ranges we found, by source. They are not additive and one job uses one method.
| Method or item | Range reported | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Mudjacking, per sq ft | $3 to $6 | Lead-gen guide; Bob Vila |
| Mudjacking, per sq ft | $4 to $9 | HomeGuide |
| Slabjacking, per sq ft | $3 to $20 | Lead-gen guide |
| Polyurethane foam (polyjacking), per sq ft | $5 to $25 | Lead-gen guide; Bob Vila |
| Polyurethane foam, per sq ft | $8 to $25 | HomeGuide |
| Sandjacking, per sq ft | $3 to $8 | Lead-gen guide |
| Stone slurry grout, per sq ft | $6 to $15 | HomeGuide |
| Self-leveling overlay, per sq ft | $1 to $5 | Lead-gen guide |
| Replacing the slab, per sq ft | About $10 (lead-gen guide); $6 to $15 (HomeGuide) | Lead-gen guide; HomeGuide |
| Sidewalk | $150 to $800 | Bob Vila |
| Driveway | $600 to $3,000 | Bob Vila |
The lead-generation guide says labor is 50 to 70 percent of the total, which is one reason small jobs hit a minimum charge.
The American Concrete Institute, which is not selling anything, describes slabjacking as often costing less than half as much as a new slab. It gives no dollar figures, and it adds that lifting does not correct poor soil and may need repeating if the ground is still moving.
What changes the price
Where the sources disagree
- Totals. The normal range is $662 to $1,884 in the lead-generation guide and up to $5,000 at HomeGuide.
- Mudjacking. The top of the per-square-foot range is $6 in the lead-generation guide and $9 at HomeGuide.
- Foam. Both top out at $25 per square foot, but the bottom is $5 in some guides and $8 in HomeGuide.
- Slabjacking. It lists $3 to $20, a wide range with no explanation of what moves a job to the top.
- Replacement. About $10 at the lead-generation guide and $6 to $15 at HomeGuide, so the saving from leveling depends on which one you believe.
We do not average these. An average of different methods, sizes and sources is not a number you can use.
How to compare the bids you get
Get two or three written, itemized bids and compare what each one includes, not the bottom line alone. The FTC advises against choosing only the lowest bid, advises getting a signed copy of the contract and warns against paying the full amount up front. Questions that make bids comparable:
- Which method, and why that one for this slab?
- What caused the slab to sink, and does the bid address drainage or soil, or only the lift?
- How much lift per hole, and how will the final height be measured?
- Where will the holes be, and how will they be patched?
- Will they check for utilities or drains under the slab before injecting?
- What is guaranteed in writing, and what does the warranty exclude?
- What are the payment terms? Avoid paying everything in advance and never pay in cash.
For sidewalks in front of your house, ask your city whether a right-of-way permit is needed; we found no general rule.

Concrete Leveling FAQs
Both appear. Guides quote a price per square foot, and contractors often have a minimum. Ask for the area, the method and the total so you can compare.
Often, according to ACI, which says slabjacking is often less than half the cost of a new slab. Badly cracked or broken slabs may be better replaced, so ask the contractor which applies.
It may use a different method, skip the drainage fix or leave out hole patching, or it may be a mistake. Ask what is different, in writing.
No. Use them to spot a bid far outside the published ranges, then ask why.
