Interior concrete that has settled can be a real problem. Basement floors, laundry rooms and garage floors are so expensive to replace. You can see why, demolition has to be primarily by hand with either jack hammers or sledge hammers. Then the material has to be hauled out by hand. With concrete weighing roughly one...
www.SlabjackGeotechnical.com 1-855-752-2522 In some of the communities we serve we have other companies offering the same service, concrete raising. This post explains the differences in both methods, mudjacking and polymer injection. Both methods will raise concrete. Mudjacking is, or should be less costly. Polymer injection is a better choice in appearance. Beyond these two differences...
Concrete Raising with Multiple Polymers.

Erosion of soil is a very common problem. Whether it be ground water movement, drainage, rodents or sprinklers, when soil is carried away settling concrete is sure to follow. So what should you do if you notice erosion around or under your concrete slabs? Many people will attempt to fill these voids with dirt, sand...

There are several different ways to raise settled concrete. Mudjacking, sand jacking, concrete pressure grouting and polyurethane Slabjacking. A brief overview – There are several recipes for mudjacking. Most companies using this method use a mix of native dirt mixed with a little bit of fly ash and a touch of Portland cement mixed with...
Voids under concrete eventually lead to cracking and/or settling concrete. Voids are created when concrete is partially supported by base soils or through the use of anchors or rebar to foundation walls or through the use of Sonotubes. As the soil settles or is carried away by other means a gap opens up between the...
Various hole sizes from raising concrete One of the advantages with polymer Slabjacking is the very small holes needed to raise concrete. What the above picture show is two previous attempts to level this concrete with mudjacking before finally being stabilized with polyurethane injection Slabjacking, the top patch is with our method. What isn’t...
When we built our home back in 2005-6 our builder, perhaps like yours, really didn’t do any kind of compaction. As a result we have had several issues to address, first the porch, then the sidewalk then the driveway and the latest is our garage floor. (And you thought you had it rough!) The settling thus...
Occasionally we’re asked how heavy of a structure we can lift. Geo-polymers Slabjacking has raised structures well over a quarter million pounds. It is actually quite surprising how much a concrete structure will weigh. Entry porches are a good example of this and can be instructive of why they settle. A six-foot deep porch that...
