Concrete Slabjacking is an alternative to replacing sunken or uneven concrete; restoring sunken concrete slabs to their original grade.
It is the process of raising or stabilizing faulty concrete pavement, and is performed on cracked and sunken concrete slabs such as; driveways, garage floors, patios, porches, steps, sidewalks, stoops, and other “slab on grade” surfaces.
It is referred to as slabjacking when lifting or leveling is involved, or simply pressure grouting where void filling is the sole objective.
In the slabjacking process, instead of replacing the concrete, a cement slurry is pumped under the concrete. This process “lifts” the sunken and uneven surface back into its proper position. Performed properly, slabjacking can not only bring the concrete up to grade, it can also eliminate costly and irritating water problems by filling hidden cavities under the concrete and diverting water away from the foundation.
If your concrete is sinking. there is a very good possibility that the concrete slab was installed on poorly compacted fill dirt. Sub-surface erosion and shrinking soils are also possibilities.
We drill strategically placed holes into the existing slab. Using a portable pump and flexible hoses, we fill these holes with a special limestone & portland cement mixture. Lifting a slab using this method can often be accomplished in a few hours or less.
Often the cost to perform this service is less than 25% that of replacing a new slab.
There are numerous benefits to SlabJacking:
* The material injected beneath the concrete provides a new strong base.
* There is little or no disruption to landscaping. (not so with replacement!)
* You can begin to use your concrete again right away.
