Slab jacking (also known as mudjacking) is one of the best ways to stabilize cracked or broken concrete driveways, floors or sidewalks. Does your driveway seem to have portions that have sunken in? Perhaps you have concrete in another area of your property that is no longer level. Slab jacking, in short, is a method of replacing material from under a slab that’s no longer present. Over time, material under concrete can wash away and erode. Slab jacking helps you to create a level surface again. The team at Robbins and Co. can help you with this reliable service.
How Does Slab Jacking Work?
Slab jacking is a precise and efficient method for lifting and leveling sunken concrete. Here’s how the process works:
-
Assessment & Preparation
Our team arrives at your home or business equipped with specialized equipment and a carefully prepared cement-based mixture. Our experienced technicians first assess the affected area, identifying where the slab has settled and determining the best locations for treatment.
-
Drilling & Injection Points
Once the assessment is complete, we strategically drill small holes into the sunken slab. These holes are evenly distributed to ensure uniform lifting and structural stability.
-
Injecting the Lifting Material
A specialized pump is then used to inject a concrete-like mixture through the drilled holes. As the material flows beneath the slab, it fills voids and gently lifts the concrete back to its original level. You’ll see the slab gradually rise in real time as the voids are filled.
-
Final Stabilization & Finishing
After achieving the desired elevation, we inject a thinner material to fill any remaining gaps, ensuring a stable and durable foundation. The drilled holes are then patched, and the area is cleaned, leaving minimal signs of repair—aside from your newly level surface!
Slab jacking is a cost-effective and non-invasive solution for restoring concrete surfaces, helping you avoid the expense and hassle of full slab replacement.
