CONCRETE LIFTING
Concrete lifting, otherwise known as mudjacking or slabjacking, is a proven process that has been around since the 1930's.
Since all concrete is subject to cracking and settling, lifting concrete has become a well-known alternative to replacement. The process begins by strategically drilling into the concrete slab, injecting a grout mixture that contains portland cement, and then patching the injection hole using concrete.
This injected grout mixture does three things. First, it spreads out to fill all voids under the concrete, second it compacts the ground under the slab, and third it lifts the concrete to its previous, original height.
Holes drilled are usually 2 to 5 feet apart and are approximately 1¼” inches in diameter. The portland cement is added to the injected mixture to ensure the material resists erosion and rodents.
The concrete used to patch your holes is carefully mixed and applied to match the color and texture of your concrete as close as possible. A slight difference in color is typical and will deminish with aging.

Some of the benefits of concrete lifting verses replacement;
- Most jobs are completed in one day and can be used while the work is being performed.
- Typically there is no disturbance to the surrounding yard and landscaping.
- The color and texture of your concrete will remain the same.
- Lifting your concrete slab helps to compact the soil under your slab and prevent future settling.
- The cost of lifting your concrete is usually much lower than replacing.
- Most types of concrete can be lifted...porches, patios, driveways, walkways, steps, and more!
