Raise Sinking Concrete
Mudjacking (also known as slabjacking or concrete leveling) is a way to raise sinking concrete.
Occasionally concrete needs to be repaired, no matter if it is a driveway, sidewalk or patio (or indeed any form of concrete slabs) with time and wear it can sink and become damaged.
Concrete is susceptible to settlement and sinking due to a wide variety of factors, mudjacking can help to give it a brand new look and raise any sinking concrete, thus in turn repairing whatever is on top
It is a far more cost effective way to repair sunken concrete as opposed to having new concrete poured.
Usually the mudjacking procedure is performed at small businesses, warehouses and factories as well as airports and roads, that is not to say that mudjacking is not performed at private homes, quite often residents will want their patios raised and leveled, in fact it can also possibly save your house, by leveling off the foundations.
Mudjacking is a very specialist process, and it lifts the sunken or settled concrete by pouring a grout through drilled holes in the concrete, essentially lifting it up from underneath, altering the foundations to a more level state, although similar processes (raising concrete by the use of hydraulic pressure) have been around for years, mudjacking is a very cost effective way to raise sinking concrete.
The success of mudjacking is dependent on several factors, the most important of which is the quality of the sunken concrete in the first place, if the concrete is beyond repair, or want take the extremes of drilling or pressure then it is likely to become more damaged.
