Concrete Raising

Sunken, unlevel concrete slabs look bad, are a safety issue, and may damage your vehicles. Settling, broken, or uneven concrete can be caused from soil settling, water drainage problems, and freeze/thaw weather shifts. Continuing to drive on or use uneven slabs can worsen your problem and lead to trip hazards of up to six inches or more between concrete slabs!

 

Concrete raising is a fantastic alternative to replacing your sinking concrete, often saving 50% of the replacement cost! Not only does it save you money, but concrete leveling can be completed in hours, not days like pouring new concrete.

Kent Home Services can help make your concrete surface level or stabilized. Common exterior and interior concrete areas that benefit from polyjacking or mud jacking are:

 

  • Driveways
  • Concrete Steps
  • Sidewalks
  • Garages
  • Concrete Porches
  • Patios
  • Parking Lots
  • Swimming Pool Decks
  • Pole Barn Floors
  • Commercial and Industrial Floors
  • Airport Runways

Our Process Video

Concrete raising is the first option you should explore when considering fixing your uneven concrete slabs. There are two types of concrete raising solutions available that our technical experts will help you select from: polyurethane foam concrete raising and mudjacking concrete raising.

Polyurethane Foam

 

Polyjacking is the process of inserting high density polyurethane foam beneath a concrete slab to raise and level concrete. Polyurethane foam is injected through 5/8” holes (the size of a dime) and expands underneath your concrete slab, fills crevices and hollow voids, stabilizes your subsoil, and then lifts the concrete back to its original, correct level. Polyurethane foam is a lightweight and long-lasting material – plus your concrete is ready to be used again immediately after our service.

Mudjacking

 

Mudjacking, also known as slabjacking or pressure grouting, is the most cost-effective method to level uneven concrete slabs. The mud jacking process raises concrete slabs by hydraulically pumping grout, a composite of sand-based material and Portland cement, through holes in the slab and lifting the concrete back to level. The composite also hardens the ground underneath to help strengthen below the concrete too. Quick and clean, your concrete slab is ready to use again after 24 hours.
