What Exactly Is Mudjacking?

Structures built atop the floating concrete slab may eventually suffer damage if it sinks. The building’s stability will be jeopardized, and its foundation will be damaged, if you do this.

Slab jacking, or mudjacking, is a foundation repair method used to lift and support sinking concrete slabs. In order to fix problems, most construction companies use a tried and true method. Poly jacking and mud jacking both accomplish the same goal.

Concrete slabs that have shifted can be lifted using a technique called “mud jacking,” which involves drilling holes through them. Mud, which consists of soil, water, and cement, is injected under the slab in order to raise it.

Repairing a foundation is a complicated process that calls both specialized equipment and the expertise of an expert. Ideally, the job would be handled by a licensed and experienced contractor.

Applicability of Mudjacking:

Cram in

The majority of foundation issues originate from shifting around the foundation’s periphery. Consequently, a contractor will initially use push piers to level all settled parts. After the piers and perimeter grade beam have been installed and the foundation raised, a space will be created under the slab.

Raise the subflooring within

Under some circumstances, movement of the foundation’s inner slab is possible. Typically, “mud jacking” is used to restore the original position of the flooring on the interior. Concrete that has settled can be leveled by drilling holes into the affected regions and pumping a mud mixture under the slab.

When is it appropriate to use mud jacking?

This approach to fixing things is suggested in a few different scenarios:

As a result, this technique can be used to lift just about any concrete floor. However, concrete lifting is not recommended for issues related to the foundation. If your foundation has taken severe damage, this strategy may not be the best option.

Advantages of Mudjacking

It can be done at any time of the year, rain or shine.

It is a faster process than traditional concrete restoration, which requires the removal of the concrete before reconstruction.

-This repair method is more cost-effective.

Mud jacking allows for a quick resumption of service when damage has been repaired. Within 48 hours, the surface can bear weight. The time needed to replace concrete, on the other hand, is often close to 30 days. Disruption is minimal. This means you can keep working while we fix it.

How much does it cost to mud jack?

While alternative methods, such as poly jacking, can be more expensive, mud jacking is considered to be one of the more cost-effective methods of foundation repair. About 50% less than the cost of using the most common and traditional techniques of repair.

Some factors, however, could cause prices to fluctuate. Factors such as the extent of the foundational damage, the company performing the repairs, and so forth, come to mind.

Letting your foundation go for too long without maintenance could wind up costing you a lot. It’s not worth waiting for it to happen. If your slab is sinking, call RLM Retrofit Foundation immediately. Schedule your no-cost Foundation Inspection Cerritos right away.
