Most companies in this market publish no prices at all. We think a homeowner deciding whether to make a phone call deserves a realistic range first. The figures below reflect typical Peoria-area residential work; your exact quote depends on slab size, how far it has dropped, and the voids underneath. The measured estimate is free: (309) XXX-XXXX.

What moves the price
- Square footage. Larger slabs need more material and more injection points.
- How far it has settled. A one-inch drop needs far less fill than a four-inch drop.
- Void size underneath. Washout cavities, common near downspouts in Peoria’s clay soil, take material to fill before lifting begins.
- Method. Mudjacking is the budget option. Polyjacking foam costs 10 to 30% more, cures in 15 minutes, and does not wash out.
- Access. Tight backyard access or interior work adds setup time.
How much does mudjacking cost?
Mudjacking in Peoria typically runs $3–$8 per square foot, with most residential jobs between $500 and $1,500. It is the lowest-cost lifting method and the best value on large, heavy slabs such as full driveways and garage floors.
How much does polyjacking cost?
Polyurethane foam leveling typically runs $5–$12 per square foot, with most Peoria jobs between $600 and $2,500. The premium over mudjacking buys same-day use, smaller holes, and a waterproof fill that Central Illinois freeze-thaw cannot erode. Full comparison: mudjacking vs. polyjacking.
Leveling or replacement: the real comparison
Replacement is not only the larger invoice. It also means demolition, damaged landscaping, a new slab that will not match the existing concrete, and about a week of curing before use. Leveling preserves the slab you already own. The honest exception: concrete that is shattered, crumbling or structurally finished belongs in replacement territory, and we say so at the estimate rather than lift something that will not hold.
What about foundation settling?
Slab leveling and foundation settling repair sit in different price classes. Minor settling work such as void filling, stoop realignment and interior slab lifts runs $1,000–$3,000. Structural underpinning of a settling foundation runs $5,000–$15,000 or more. If you are seeing wall cracks and sticking doors along with sunken concrete, start with a free settling inspection.
