Mudjacking Sunken Slabs

Why concrete sinks...
There can be many reasons as to why concrete sinks.  Improper compaction of soils during or after the building process, water instrusion from bad drainage, and natural settlement.

Soils consist of solid particles and the spaces (voids) between these particles. However, void spaces in soil can cause big problems for buildings and concrete slabs. Concentrated loads, such as buildings or slabs can literally squeeze air and water from soils. When this happens, the soil sinks and the buildings or slabs follow closely behind.

Mudjacking / Concrete Lifting
We drill strategically placed holes into the slab. Using a portable pump and flexible hoses we fill these holes with the special mixture. Lifting a slab using this method can often be accomplished in a few hours.

There are numerous benefits to concrete lifting.

• It can be done in virtually any weather. The material injected beneath the slab provides a strong base.

• There is little or no disruption to landscaping.

• Nothing needs to be moved off the slab, as the pump can lift the weight of the slab and anything you have placed on it.

Driveways, patios, basement floors, warehouse floors, and concrete slabs of any kind can be repaired using the mudjacking method.
