What is Traditional Mudjacking?
Mudjacking is a proven concrete leveling method that has been around since the 1930's. The mudjacking process generally starts with drilling small diameter access holes strategically located in the concrete. Material injections of water, sand, portland cement, and sodium bentonite, will fill void space under the concrete and lift the concrete. Once the concrete is leveled, the access holes are patched and the work is complete.
A common misconception is that Mudjacking is not a permanent fix. Concrete, including the "mud" that is pumped under sunken slabs, is only as good as the ground beneath it. Subsoil erosion and settling from new construction are the most common causes of sunken slabs. If the ground is done settling and water drainage is adequate, then there is no reason why your existing concrete can't last for many, many more years.
Old concrete won't need to be torn out and hauled away making mudjacking easier on the environment as well as your pocket book. We mix our concrete on site to make the custom "mud" that's right for your job. No heavy equipment to tear up your yard.
Mudjacking is often 50-70% less than the cost of replacement. The savings are astronomical.
