Mudjacking & Slab Jacking in Birmingham and Surrounding Areas

Mudjacking: The Old-School Way To Level Concrete

As patios, walkways, driveways, and concrete steps sink, they can crack and create uneven surfaces. Sinking concrete is unsightly, and it can create a tripping hazard. Traditionally, this problem is often repaired by a process called mudjacking.

Mudjacking involves pumping a mortar-based mixture of “mud” or “slurry” underneath a settling slab. As the mixture is pumped underneath the concrete slab, it fills all empty spaces and creates pressure on the slab that lifts the surface upwards.

APS Foundation offers a fast, effective, and less invasive approach to concrete leveling with PolyLevel®. The PolyLevel® system involves injecting an expanding polymer foam under the concrete for a durable, long-lasting solution.

When Is Mudjacking Used?

Mud jacking suits heavier structures when combined with slab piers but not as a standalone fix for settled footings or floor slabs. It often fails to lift both slabs and partition walls, potentially causing uneven lifting.

Mudjacking is temporary since the underlying soil can continue settling, requiring repeated services. For lasting solutions, consider alternatives like slab piers. Due to the need for specialized equipment and expertise, mudjacking should be done by professional contractors familiar with local soil conditions.

The causes of concrete settlement and sinking are the same whether it’s a driveway, walkway, patio, garage floor, or pool deck. As soil underneath a concrete slab shrinks, settles or washes away, this leaves empty space, or voids, beneath the slab. With the soil no longer supporting the slab, the concrete will sink, creating an uneven surface.
