Mudjacking, also known as Slabjacking:

Mudjacking is an alternative to replacing settled or uneven concrete that restores settled concrete slabs to their original grade.

It is the process of raising or stabilizing faulty concrete pavement, and is performed on cracked and settled concrete slabs such as driveways, steps and sidewalks, concrete pavement, floors and other slab or grade surfaces.

It is referred to as mudjacking when lifting or leveling is involved, or simply pressure grouting where void filling is the sole objective.

In the mudjacking process, instead of replacing the concrete, slurry is pumped under the slab. This process "lifts" the settled and uneven surface back into its proper position.

Performed properly, mudjacking cannot 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 you have water leaking into your basement at your front wall, you may have a void under your front stoop.

Advantages of Mudjacking:

:: It is a relatively quick and easy process.

:: The slurry used to raise the slab provides a stable base, thus strengthening the foundation for the slab.

:: Low cost: The cost to raise the concrete slab to its original position is typically a third to half the cost compared to replacement.

:: Since slabs are not being removed, there is very little mess or inconvenience.

:: No loss of use: This technique allows the client to use the slab immediately. If the slab is replaced the concrete has to cure for a minimum of 28 days.

:: There is no waste involved, compared to slab replacement, where the removed material will end up in the landfill - results are better environmentally.

:: There is no noisy concrete breaking, with its associated dust and debris.

:: Mudjacking can be performed in almost any weather conditions.

:: Surrounding grass is not dug up, so there is no reseeding and waiting for new grass to grow.

:: Because the old slabs are still there, the color of the concrete remains constant.
