When concrete slabs begin to sink or shift, many property owners believe replacement is the only solution. In reality, working with a skilled mud jacking contractor can restore concrete surfaces efficiently and at a fraction of the cost. Mud jacking is a proven technique used to lift sunken slabs, eliminate voids, and stabilize the soil beneath. Robbins Foundation Systems provides professional mud jacking services that are designed to deliver long-term results without unnecessary disruption.
What Is a Mud Jacking Contractor?
Mud jacking, also known as slab lifting, involves pumping cement-based slurry beneath frozen concrete. As the material fills the void beneath the slab, it lifts the concrete back to its proper level while providing structural support.
This method is commonly used for:
- Driveways
- Sidewalk
- Courtyard
- Garage floor
- Basement slab
- Commercial walkway
When performed by an experienced contractor, mud jacking extends the life of concrete surfaces and restores functionality.
Why Concrete Settlement Happens
Concrete doesn’t fail on its own – the soil beneath it does. Settlement often results from:
- Soil erosion due to water runoff
- Poor drainage near the foundation
- Improper soil compaction during construction
- Seasonal humidity changes
- Pipeline leaking under slab
A professional mud jacking contractor addresses these underlying issues rather than hiding surface damage.
How Robbins Foundation Systems Performs Mud Jacking
Robbins Foundation Systems performs mud jacking with precision and care, ensuring controlled lifting and long-term stability.
Step 1: Inspection and Evaluation – The team examines the slab, soil conditions and the surrounding environment to determine if mud jacking is the best solution.
Step 2: Drilling the Access Points – Small holes are strategically drilled in the slab to allow the lifting material to be inserted.
Step 3: Solution Injection – A specially prepared mix is pumped under the slab, gradually filling the void and raising it to the desired level.
Step 4: Sealing and Finishing – Once the slab is properly leveled, the holes are patched, leaving a clean, usable surface.
