MudjackingWhat is mudjacking?
Mudjacking, also known as slabjacking, concrete lifting or pressure grouting, is a process used to raise sunken concrete slabs by injecting a grout mixture under the slab. No matter what name it goes by, the process is the same but the materials and methods of application have improved greatly. The grout mixture consists of a slurry of cement, water, and clay or sand. This mixture is pumped under the sunken slab using a hydraulic jack. The hydraulic pressure forces the mixture into voids and quickly raises the slab. As you can see, this is no quick and easy job. You will want to work with professionals who have lots of experience and who have all of the latest equipment and technology to get the job done right the first time. The materials used in mudjacking have been upgraded through the years to a polyurethane foam to create a less dense mixture to prevent sinking from reoccurring. We have all the latest technology to provide the highest quality of work that will last for years to come. Choosing to repair your concrete is much more cost effective than replacing it. Estimates range from 25% up to 50% cheaper! Although polyurethane foam is a better option in some respects, mudjacking is still the cheaper alternative. So which option is best for you depends on many factors regarding the type of job, the size of the job, the outcome you're looking for and your budget.
