Mudjacking is a process of raising settled concrete slabs by drilling holes through the slab and pumping a sand/cement mixture under the slab. This process allows the slab to be “floated” back to it's original position.
Mudjacking is commonly referred to as slabjacking, grout pumping, pressure grouting, and other similar terms, but they all mean the same thing - raising settled concrete slabs.
Mudjacking can be performed to raise a wide variety of concrete slabs: driveways, sidewalks, patios, porches, garage floors, slab garages, basement floors, slab houses, steps, swimming pool aprons, and we also repair grain bin bases. The list goes on and on.
And lets not forget about those pesky rodents that like to dig holes under the concreteslabs. These voids that are caused from animals, erosion, or just plain settlement also provide a lovely home for such critters as ground squirrels, spiders, bees, mice or rats, and a variety of other pests.
The average mudjacking job cost approximately 30% to 50% of the cost of removing and replacing the concrete. So, not only do you save money, but this process can be completed, in most instances, in a couple of hours and can be used within hours. Removing and replacing your concrete can take up to a week or more before it can be used.
Lets say you want to sell your house. Don't you think you’d have a better chance to sell your house if you improved the curb appeal?
What goes through your mind every time you shovel the drive or walk and run into that mismatched slab with the shovel or snow blower? I bet it's not something that should be repeated! How about when you pull your car into the garage? Are you tired of that bump caused by your settled driveway? Have you thought about the additional wear and tear on your tires and suspension? And when your shopping for a new car, do you have to bring it home to make sure it'll go in the garage without scraping the bottom?
