Mudjacking or foam lifting
Both methods raise a slab by filling the void below it. The right one depends on the weight, the soil, the size of the void and how soon you need the surface. Tap an option to compare, then add your pick to your job notes.

Before you book concrete slab leveling (mudjacking & foam lifting)
Quick things that save a trip. Tick them off as you go; none of it is required to book.
Photograph the height difference
Lay a straight board or a level across the gap and photograph it with a tape in view. Show the pros the size of the step between slabs and which direction water runs.
Find the source of water
Look at downspouts, sprinklers, hose bibs and low spots that drain toward the slab. A leaking source under the surface is the first thing to rule out.
Mark any pipes and pool lines
Tell the pro about buried irrigation, drain lines, pool plumbing and electric near the slab. Drilling and pressure can break what you cannot see.
Ask which method fits your slab
Have the pro explain why they recommend slurry or foam for your soil and slab, how the lift is measured and how they avoid overlifting.
Keep expectations realistic
Lifting raises a slab toward its original height, and cracked concrete will still look like cracked concrete. If appearance matters, ask about sealing and patching afterward.
Plan for the cure
Keep vehicles and heavy loads off the lifted slab until the pro says it is ready. Foam and slurry set at different speeds, so ask for the specific time.
Say where in Los Gatos you are
Add your neighborhood, for example Downtown Los Gatos, Almond Grove, and Belgatos, or your ZIP code to your notes. Pros choose the neighborhoods they cover, and it tells them how far they have to travel.

Best time to book concrete slab leveling (mudjacking & foam lifting)
The ground is workable and the materials cure predictably in mild weather. Very cold weather and frozen soil can slow the work and affect the cure, and wet weather may mean the soil is soft again soon after. In Los Gatos, the dry season from late spring to fall is the easiest time for outside work, and the fall calendar fills before the first big rain.
