Beware of the mudjacking pyramid scheme
Raise settled concrete. The Great Leap Forward in concrete raising took place in 1983 when Geo-polymer Slabjacking was first introduced. The material being injected as a liquid which quickly expands eliminated “pyramiding” of the material. Pyramiding is when material goes in the opening of the concrete slab during the Slabjacking process and supports the slab...

Voids now, settling concrete later
An obvious void under an entry, most voids are unseen This picture demonstrates how voids against foundations form. In most cases the concrete would also settle but with this example the entry was “pinned” with rebar to the foundation. Over time the rebar will rust and weaken, eventually failing causing the slab to drop. As...
A typical patio with minor settling under the sliding door Jobs done! Notice how it is nice and tight against the door frame, just like new! Once concrete settling starts you can expect it to accelerate. This is because rain, snow melt, sprinklers and any other source of water will start to drain in...

Most are done in about two hours. -What’s the big deal? Liability, aesthetics, personal injury, foundation damage, flooded basements. -Damage to my yard? No. In rare...
A two inch drop from the garage to the driveway Problem – Driveways like the example above are common.
