If a road or a building’s foundation wasn’t prepared correctly, it might begin to sink over time. When this happens, the structure built upon the foundation could be put in jeopardy. This is a potentially disastrous problem, but it has a solution. Slab jacking is a process in which a chemical grout is injected into the foundation to fill gaps and stabilize it. Below are three major benefits to this method.

Advantages of Slab Jacking

1. Minimal Disruption

Many other repair methods stabilize the foundation by excavating around it. This process can wreak havoc on your landscaping and make your business look unappealing. It also generates a lot of dust and debris. In contrast, slab jacking uses small holes, usually smaller than an inch in diameter, to inject the grout mixture. The result is a stable foundation without any visible changes to your property.

2. Quick Turnaround

Slab jacking can be completed quickly. The process’s quick dry time means that the foundation will be usable within a few hours. For roads, that means less time blocking off traffic. For businesses, you’ll be able to operate vehicles on the foundation within a matter of hours—a vital difference for warehouses and production facilities.

3. Unaffected by Weather

Weather is a major factor in traditional concrete repairs. Frozen ground can make excavation impossible, and rain can keep concrete from drying properly. The drills used for slab jacking are powerful enough to pierce frozen ground, and the holes are small enough that rainwater won’t threaten your project deadline.
