Concrete lifting, also known as slabjacking or mudjacking, is a technique used to raise and level sunken
or uneven concrete surfaces. The process involves the following steps.
Ram Jack of North Carolina's professionals assess the condition of the concrete and identify the underlying causes of the settlement or sinking. This evaluation helps determine the most suitable approach for concrete lifting.
The injected material expands, exerting pressure and lifting the concrete slab to its desired level. This process ensures a stable and even surface.
Small holes are strategically drilled into the affected concrete slab. This drilling is less invasive and requires no expensive demolition or excavation.
A high-density polyurethane foam or a concrete slurry is injected through the drilled holes, filling the voids beneath the concrete.
Ram Jack of North Carolina offers two primary options for concrete lifting: polyurethane foam and traditional concrete methods. Here's a look at the two approaches.
Polyurethane foam, a lightweight yet strong material, has become increasingly popular for concrete lifting. It offers several advantages, including its ability to fill voids, provide accurate concrete leveling, and provide long-lasting stability. The foam's quick curing time allows minimal disruption and immediate use of the repaired area.
Traditional concrete methods involve the use of a mixture of cement, sand, and aggregate. While concrete has been a common choice for concrete lifting in the past, it can be heavier and more time-consuming compared to polyurethane foam. Concrete requires longer curing times before the surface can be used.
Concrete lifting is beneficial for various residential applications, including the following.
Uneven or sunken concrete driveways and sidewalks can be hazardous and detract from your home's curb appeal. Concrete lifting provides a cost-effective and efficient solution to level these surfaces and enhance safety.
Uneven concrete surfaces in outdoor living spaces can affect their functionality and aesthetics. Concrete lifting restores sinking and uneven patios and pool decks, making them safer and more enjoyable for family and guests.
In addition to residential projects, Ram Jack of North Carolina offers polyurethane foam concrete lifting solutions for commercial applications.
Uneven concrete floors in warehouses and industrial facilities can impede the movement of machinery and pose safety risks. Concrete lifting ensures a level surface for efficient operations and worker safety.
Leveling sunken areas in retail spaces and parking lots prevents trip hazards, enhances accessibility, and maintains a professional appearance.
