Concreate Slab Jacking
Concrete slab jacking, also known as mudjacking or slab leveling, is a process used to raise and stabilize sunken or uneven concrete slabs. It is a cost-effective alternative to concrete replacement and is commonly used for driveways, sidewalks, garage floors, and other concrete surfaces.
Here's how the concrete slab jacking process typically works:
Preparation: The first step involves drilling small holes (usually around 1 to 2 inches in diameter) into the sunken concrete slab.
Lifting and Leveling: As the Foam is injected beneath the slab, it fills voids and lifts the slab to the desired height. The pressure of the injected foam helps to lift the slab and level it with adjacent concrete surfaces.
Sealing and Patching: Once the slab is raised and leveled, the injection holes are sealed. Any cracks or damaged areas on the slab's surface may also be repaired during this step.
Curing and Cleanup: The repaired concrete slab is fully ready for operation as the foam is already cured as soon as its finished expanding.Â
Concrete slab jacking offers several advantages over traditional concrete replacement:
Cost-Effective: Slab jacking is often significantly cheaper than tearing out and replacing concrete slabs.
Minimal Disruption: The process can typically be completed in a matter of minutes or hours depending on the job size, minimizing disruption to surrounding areas and allowing for quicker access to the repaired surface.
Environmentally Friendly: Slab jacking reduces waste by reusing existing concrete slabs rather than disposing of them in landfills.
Long-Lasting Results: Properly executed slab jacking can provide durable and long-lasting results, restoring the structural integrity and functionality of the concrete surface.
