(57) Systems and methods for raising a slab, such as a concrete slab, that has sunken and needs to be raised. In one injection, dried sand is carried in a stream of pressurized air and injected underneath the slab. The pressurized air raises the slab, and the dried sand is dispersed over a broad area and great distance underneath the slab to fill voids underneath the slab. Water is then injected underneath the slab for a predetermined period of time to wet the injected dried sand which stabilizes the injected sand and seals the injected sand to minimize or prevent air from passing through the injected sand. After the water injection, additional dried sand and pressurized air is injected underneath the slab to continue the slab lifting and filling of the void(s) underneath the slab.
