Concrete lifting is a process used to raise and level settled concrete surfaces. Also known as mud jacking or slab jacking, the process involves introducing cement based material beneath the concrete slab to fill underlying voids and carefully lift the concrete toward its intended position.
Mud jacking is a traditional concrete lifting method that uses a cement based slurry to raise and support settled concrete. The process has been used for decades on residential and commercial concrete lifting projects.
Concrete lifting may be an option for:
Not all concrete is a good candidate for lifting. The condition of the concrete and the underlying causes of settlement should be evaluated on a project-by-project basis.
Concrete settlement can occur for several reasons, including:
These conditions can create voids beneath concrete slabs, causing sections of concrete to settle unevenly.
In many situations, concrete lifting may cost less than complete concrete replacement because it can avoid demolition, haul-away, and new concrete installation costs.
However, every project is different, and pricing depends on the size of the project, the amount of settlement, accessibility, and the condition of the existing concrete.
Every project is different, but majority of concrete lifting projects are often completed in a short period of time compared to complete concrete replacement.
The size and complexity of the project will determine the overall project duration.
Concrete lifting can help improve the level and functionality of settled concrete, but existing cracks and surface imperfections will remain visible after lifting.
No.
Some concrete may have structural damage, significant deterioration, extensive cracking, or conditions that make lifting impractical.
Every project will be evaluated to determine whether lifting is the appropriate solution.
Access holes are patched following the lifting process. While patch locations may remain visible, our goal is to leave the finished project looking as clean and professional as possible.
