Concrete repair through lifting can be achieved using the traditional method of mudjacking, which has been used effectively in Utah for decades. The process involves drilling larger holes into a settled slab and hydraulically pumping a cement-based slurry underneath. This mixture fills any voids and provides the pressure needed to lift the concrete back to a level position. While a more affordable option upfront, the heavier weight of the slurry can add stress to already-compromised soil, potentially leading to future erosion and resettling, which can require further repairs. Despite this, mudjacking remains a viable and less disruptive alternative to completely replacing a damaged slab.

CONCRETE REPAIR

Concrete lifting or Mudjacking is a time-tested method for lifting settled concrete in Utah. The process involves drilling small holes into the uneven slab and hydraulically pumping a cement-based slurry underneath. This mixture fills any voids and exerts pressure, raising the concrete back to its original grade. After leveling, the holes are patched with mortar. This method is less expensive and disruptive than full replacement and is typically completed in hours, with many surfaces usable within a day. It is suitable for driveways, patios, and sidewalks with minor to moderate sinking. However, mudjacking is not a permanent solution, as the heavy slurry can be susceptible to erosion from Utah's changing soil, potentially requiring future repairs
