If you have ever seen a cracked driveway, broken sidewalk or uneven concrete or have experienced these issues at your home or business, you’ll understand how annoying these issues are. But as well as being unsightly, they are also dangerous, and if you don’t address the matter – you might well end up with a lawsuit if someone trips and injures themselves!
Concrete is a wonderful and versatile material but it is heavy and overtime because of age, usage and the weather, it can sink causing uneven surfaces and concrete cracks to appear. At this stage you may have reached for the cheque book, thinking you need to replace the entire path or your porch. But there are other options, and mudjacking could be the solution.
Mudjacking is a simple and cost effective way to manage this common issue. By pumping a mixture of “slurry” or “mud” beneath the slabs it fills any voids and gaps beneath the concrete and pushes the slab back up to its correct position. Once set, it forms a hard, stable surface that is more suitable than mere soil but lighter than concrete.

Done by a skilled professional with the correct equipment and knowledge, mudjacking is a great way to fix issues at your home and business, especially those that pose a tripping hazard.

Depending on the size of the area, our team will usually complete the job in around one to two hours. Once a professional has assessed the damage they will give you a more accurate time span.
Once the repair is complete, it is advisable to wait overnight before placing heavy objects onto the area, but it should be okay for light use once complete.
It is not typically recommended to raise a house with mudjacking. Foundation issues are often best repaired by the insertion of piers alongside mudjacking. It is a specialist job that requires skill and the right equipment. Speak to a professional mudjacking expert to discuss how they can help you.
