Additional business details
Fundamentally, mudjacking, also known as slab-jacking, attempts to raise sunken concrete slabs by pumping mortar through the concrete, consequently, pushing it from beneath the slab. It is an ideal alternative to replacing the entire sunken or uneven concrete. The mudjacking process restores the sunken pieces of your concrete path of driveways into their original level. In most cases, changes in temperatures are the major cause of the sinking concretes.
The Mudjacking Process
Mudjacking involves three basic steps.
Firstly, a professional drills a 1-1/2 inch holes on the sunken concrete. In some cases, a professional can use a 4-inch thick hole in case the concrete requires additional pressure. The additional pressure ensures that there is enough space for pressure application to raise the slab.
Secondly, the professional pumps a mixture of clay, sand and cement beneath the sunken concrete slab. Once the mortar fills in the void beneath the slab, it stabilizes the sub soil, and it fills the void. Thereafter, the void becomes pressurized, and it raises the concrete through a hydraulic process. Subsequently, the slab raises to the desired level.
Thereafter, a professional patches the holes with the appropriate patch. After completion of the mud jacking process, the entire surface is cleaned using pressure washing machine, and you get a perfect driveway or concrete path, which has leveled ground once again.
