Mudjacking slurry is cheap per yard; foam is not. - **Minimum charges.** A single small panel still pays the minimum, so it costs more per square foot. - **Material choice.** Foam costs more but weighs a few pounds per cubic foot versus roughly 100 for slurry, uses smaller holes, and cures in minutes. - **Joint sealing.** Sealing joints after the lift adds a little cost and prevents a repeat. - **Access.** Pump hoses need to reach; long runs to a back patio add time.

If it’s cracked into several pieces, badly spalled, or heaved by tree roots, lifting won’t give a good surface and replacement is worth the extra cost. And if the sunken slab is part of the house foundation, not flatwork, you need [pressed pilings](https://foundationrepairbatonrougelouisiana.com/pressed-concrete-pilings/), not mudjacking. ## Making the lift last Most flatwork in Baton Rouge sinks because water washes out the base — usually a downspout or yard runoff. After the lift, seal the joints and move the water: see [foundation drainage](https://foundationrepairbatonrougelouisiana.com/foundation-drainage/).

A partial driveway of about 200 sq ft usually runs $800–$1,800, and a full 450 sq ft driveway about $1,800–$4,100 with mudjacking. Foam costs more. ### Is mudjacking cheaper than replacing concrete?
