If you live in a house that is over 50 years old, chances are you have cracked concrete somewhere on your property or a slab sinking. Whether the problem is in a foundation, a sunken sidewalk, a concrete patio surface, a damaged pool deck, concrete stairs, a parking lot or a factory floor, uneven and cracked concrete floors are not only unsightly and potentially dangerous but they also decrease property values and in some case can even result in safety hazards. The reason why so many people don’t ever address the problem is that the idea and the cost of pouring a brand new concrete pad can be too much for most property owners and especially in tough economic times. So what is one to do? Is there a lesser painful and costly alternative?

There is and it is called slabjacking, a.k.a mudjacking.  Considering that you can do a permanent foundation repair and re-level your floor for less than half the cost of pouring new concrete, this is great news. Wait, there is more, you are not only saving on cost, but you don’t have to pay for the usual demolition, removal and dumping. This means that not only you can repair the problem in record time (it can be done in one day because you don’t have to wait for the grout to cure), for about half the price and with a lot less disruption in the area (think costly damage to your landscape)!

How to repair damaged concrete slab:

Let’s say that you decided to mudjack your driveway. All you need to do is drill holes through the slab and pump a sand/cement mixture under the slab until it is filled. Complete the job by sealing up the holes with a cement mix to conceal them. Job done! Over time the strength of the repaired slab is similar to having poured a brand new concrete slab.

What equipment should I use?

For a big jobs you may need a full size trailer line pump.
For smaller jobs like smaller walk-ways and slabs, you may want a gas model machine with variable displacement (50-900psi).

The only green solution

Mudjacking is not only quicker, cheaper and faster it is also greener because not you are not wasting all the additives to do the job like fuel to operate equipment, manpower, waste removal & dumping of all the broken concrete. Mudjacking is a great affordable solution for everyone in need of durable and practical repair.
