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...
Concrete cracks, every concrete contractor will tell you the same thing, live with it. It is frustrating, can anything be done? Concealing cracks is not always something that can be done completely. There are several materials to fill cracks both cheap and expensive. Can anything be done to better conceal cracks? We have found staining...
Some of the communities we serve have an abundance of concrete that is heaved, primarily by roots. What can be done? There are really just two approaches to this problem other than ignoring and accepting liability. -We can raise adjacent slabs to create a transition up and over the root, in effect a ramp. This...
What does state of the art mean as related to Slabjacking? Three things. 1. The technology we use. Computer controlled equipment that delivers the material at the proper temperatures, pressure and flow. In addition we use gauges that enable us to monitor lift to 1/1000 of an inch. 2. The material we use. There are many...
One of the more frustrating things to have settle is a garage floor. The difficulty of replacement as well as the extremely high cost begs for a better alternative. Fortunately there is one, 1-855-752-2522! One of the garage floors we recently raised is a good example of what is possible. The garage had settled along...
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...

Slabjack Geotechnical is the leader in our industry. Better, faster, more competent, less costly, driven to improve and easier to work with when compared with the alternative....
Outbuildings and shops are typically built by a simple concrete slab on grade construction. While not heavy, due to the lack of a foundation they can be prone to settling. Replacement of the slab foundation is extremely difficult making concrete leveling the “go to” method of repair. In addition to settling, cracking is also common....
You have choices when it comes to concrete repair, you can replace it and not just with new concrete, or you can use a competitor so why should you choose 1-855-752-2522? 1. Compared to new concrete or professionally installed pavers, concrete Slabjacking will be 1/4 to 1/2 as costly. A new 10×10 concrete slab is...
Raising settled concrete is as much art as it is science. As much as we would like to be able to just use a mathematical formula, a tape measure or a calculator to tell us how much material will be needed, where to drill and how long to squeeze the trigger it just isn’t that...
