Concrete Lifting Explained

Concrete lifting is a technique that raises and stabilizes sunken concrete to return it to its original position. Uneven concrete slabs can happen for a variety of reasons, including soil erosion and compaction, water infiltration, or poor initial installation. Uneven concrete surfaces can damage vehicles, cause safety hazards, and create tripping risks for pedestrians. Concrete lifting can correct the problem without requiring demolition or replacement, saving homeowners time and money. Find out https://centralsprayfoam.com/

The main methods for concrete lifting are mud jacking, stone slurry grout leveling, and polyurethane foam injection. Mud jacking is an older method that involves drilling holes into the concrete and pumping a slurry of cement or mud under the slab. As the slurry fills voids it builds pressure that lifts the concrete. Once the concrete is in its proper place, the drill holes are patched.

Stone slurry grout concrete lifting uses a mixture of pulverized agricultural limestone, water, and sometimes Portland cement to create a semi-fluid material that is pumped through 1″ holes in the sunken concrete. The slurry is then injected underneath the slab through the holes, filling any voids and creating pressure that slowly lifts the concrete. Once the concrete is raised into place, the holes are filled with color-matched concrete grout.

Polyurethane foam injection is a faster and more precise method for raising concrete. It’s similar to mud jacking but uses foam instead of mud, which allows it to work in much smaller spaces. Professional technicians know how much foam to use, where to inject it, and how deep to drill in order for a safe, long-lasting lift.
