Concrete surfaces that sink or settle can cause more than just an unsightly appearance. They can also present tripping hazards, damage vehicles and contribute to erosion of the soil underneath. Thankfully, there is an affordable and effective repair solution to these issues: concrete lifting.

Concrete lifting process, which is also known as slab jacking or mud jacking, involves injecting material beneath sunken concrete to raise it back to its original position. Skilled concrete technicians use specialized equipment to create channels in the concrete, then inject the lifting material into those channels. This method is a great option for repairing driveways, patios and other recreational concrete slabs. It also allows for quick and accurate repairs, often without the need to remove or replace the existing concrete.

There are several different methods for concrete lifting, including mud jacking and polyurethane foam injection. Mud jacking involves drilling holes in the concrete, then pumping a mud-like mixture called “mud” or concrete slurry into those holes to lift the slab. This is a more traditional and cost-effective option than more modern concrete lifting methods, but it can still cause uneven lifting and additional damage to the surface of the slab.

Polyurethane foam is a more modern concrete lifting technique that uses injected polyurethane to raise sunken or settled concrete. This process offers superior stability and longevity compared to other concrete lifting options. It’s also much quicker than other concrete lifting methods, typically allowing for projects to be completed within a day or two.
