Slabjacking – Polymer vs Mud
Concrete leveling, mud or foam? Whether it be called foam jacking, PolyLEVEL, polylift, or Geo-polymer, polyurethane has many advantages over mud for lifting concrete. Having experience with both Mudjacking and Geo-polymer injection Slabjacking let’s briefly compare the two. Mudjacking advantages – material is less costly, point load lifting is less complex, the equipment is simpler....
Voids, Hollows, Caverns, Dens….are you dealing with void space under your concrete? One of the advantages of using Geo-polymer for filling voids is its light weight. Various formulations can be ordered but our polymer of choice is HMI’s RR401g. For large void fill jobs lighter duty polymers can be a very cost-effective alternative to gravel...
Slab curl is something that can happen along control joints and edges as they cure. The differential in humidity and temperature causes slabs to curl up or down but generally up as the soil keeps the underside cooler and wetter. In residential concrete this isn’t as big of a concern but in warehouses where fork...
Leveling a settled concrete warehouse floor. We saved Bluebird packers a truckload of money on a job we did for them this last year. One of their C/A storage rooms had a section that had settled, after pulling level lines across the floor we found about two and a half inches of total settlement. Because...

We got a call from a homeowner that their fifty year old home was experiencing some settling on a porch and some attached...
