SLAB-JACKING
What is it?

Slab-jacking is commonly referred to as "MUDJACKING" and is mainly used in the field to raise sections of sidewalks that have settled, causing tripping hazards.

When settlement occurs, (usually attributed with improper sub-grade compaction, sub-grade washout, or sub-grade settlement) holes are strategically drilled into the concrete to allow for the injection of a structural grout under hydraulic pressure to fill voids, then raise your existing concrete back to the original grade and level without the costs or disruptions associated with removal and replacement.

EXAMPLE:

Assuming a 30' x 30' (900 square feet) school classroom floor is sunken 2 inches, with vinyl tile or carpet. Removal and replacement would consist of: finding a way to effectively shut down this classroom for upwards of one week, remove the floor, deliver and install a new mechanically compacted stone base, place your reinforcement materials, place and finish your concrete, allow the proper curing time before installing your tile or carpet, all at a cost exceeding $10,000.00.

OR

Call a qualified Slab-Jacking Contractor who can drill strategically placed holes, set up his equipment outside of the building, pump grouting materials inside via an open classroom window, stabilize and bring back to the proper grade and level the classroom floor all within one working day at cost of less than half of the removal and replacement cost reflected above. Perhaps a job well done on a Saturday when there is no school or children to disrupt. Nice!
