Slab jacking, also known as "mud jacking" and "pressure grouting," is a technique used to raise and level large concrete slabs. It requires drilling a hole through the concrete and injecting grout material into the spaces below the slab, which subsequently, raises it via hydraulic pressure.

Dwyer Company, a renowned foundation repair company serving Lexington and Louisville, KY, as well as West Chester, OH, explains some of the benefits of slab jacking. When you need a slab stabilized or comprehensive concrete repair, the specialists at Dwyer Company get the job done right the first time.

Some of the benefits of slab jacking include the following:

  • Slab-jackingIt Works: The most important benefit of the technique is how effective this method is. The slab stops sinking and stabilizes, and it can be raised and leveled to your specifications.
  • It's Cost-Effective: Slab jacking isn’t inexpensive, but it’s far less costly than replacing the entire foundation. When you need a cost-effective solution to a sunken or unlevel slab, slab jacking should be your first choice.
  • It's Possible Year Round: You don’t need to wait for spring or for a stretch of clear weather to complete your project. Slab jacking can be performed in any conditions during any time of year.
  • It's Quick: The timeline for a slab jacking project is very short. It takes less than a day to complete most jobs, and you can return to using the area almost immediately. 
  • It's Non-Disruptive: Unlike more invasive methods, slab jacking requires no excavation or heavy earth-moving equipment, and it does not disrupt the surrounding areas.
