What is Mud Jacking?
If your home is constructed on a slab foundation, it’s prone to shifting, upheaval, and settlement issues from voids underneath that may necessitate foundation repair. Through the process of mud jacking, your slab is lifted from underneath. And here’s the best part – mud jacking can be used on anything that is a concrete slab, from patios, driveways, porches, steps, and most importantly, home foundations.
Mud jacking (also known as slab jacking or pressure grouting) lifts and stabilizes the sunken concrete by injecting a specialized mixture of water, topsoil, sand, and cement beneath the surface. It’s like a facelift for your foundation, restoring it to its original state without the need for costly replacements or extensive renovations.
How does the Mud Jacking repair process work?
Now that we’ve laid the groundwork, let’s dive into the specifics of the mud jacking process and explore how our skilled team at Pinnacle Foundation Repair works to restore your slab to its original level.
Step 1 – Drilling Holes: Small holes, typically around two inches in diameter, are strategically drilled into the concrete slab. These holes provide access points for injecting the mud jacking material.
Step 2 – Mud Mixture Preparation: A mixture of water, soil, sand, cement, and stabilizing agents is prepared to create the mud jacking material. (This mixture is sometimes called “slurry”)
Step 3 – Injection: The mud jacking material is injected into the drilled holes with the help of specialized equipment. The material is pumped under the slab at controlled pressures to fill voids and lift the concrete to the desired level. The mixture not only elevates the concrete surface from below, but also effectively fills in all voids and pockets of space in the ground beneath, solidifying upon drying.
Step 4 – Monitoring: Throughout the injection process, our crew monitors the slab’s elevation to ensure it is being lifted evenly and to the correct height.
Step 5 – Sealing Holes: Once the slab is raised to the correct level, we seal the drilled holes with a concrete patch, ensuring the surface is solid and intact.
Step 6 – Cleanup: We make sure to clear away any leftover mud jacking material or debris from the work area, leaving your home even tidier (and in better condition!) compared to when we arrived. Everyone on our in-house team is punctual, thorough, radically honest, and respectful of your property.
Choosing Your Foundation Repair Solution
Pinnacle’s mud jacking service offers a swift and cost-effective solution to rectify uneven foundations and address floating slabs. However, one thing to point out is that the long-term success of this method relies on the quality of the existing plumbing and drainage systems surrounding the structure – if the soil expands or contracts after repairs, your structure may still experience movement, impacting the effectiveness of mud jacking. In these cases, we will diagnose the issue and suggest a more permanent solution.
It’s also important to note that even the best mud jacking repair won’t miraculously repair concrete that’s already deteriorated or severely crumbled. It’s only effective for concrete that’s still structurally sound, but has become uneven due to settling or uneven pressure from above.
If your slab needs a helping hand, mud jacking repairs can be a surprisingly affordable alternative to extensive concrete replacement, requiring less time and resources. Compared to replacing concrete slabs entirely, mud jacking is quicker and significantly more budget-friendly. While the overall cost may vary slightly depending on the specific needs and condition of the slab, our team at Pinnacle Foundation Repair prioritizes honesty. We’ll work with you to develop a cost-effective solution that meets your budget and delivers lasting results.
