Mudjacking / Slabjacking in Surf City, NC

Over time, concrete surfaces such as driveways, sidewalks, patios, and foundations can sink or become uneven due to soil settlement, erosion, and poor compaction. This results in cracked, uneven, or sunken concrete that can be both hazardous and unsightly.

Mudjacking and slabjacking are cost-effective methods used to lift and stabilize concrete slabs, restoring them to their original position without the need for complete replacement.

At Surf City Foundation Repair, we provide professional mudjacking and slabjacking services that effectively fix sunken concrete surfaces and foundations.

Step 1: Concrete Assessment & Inspection

• A thorough site evaluation to determine why the concrete has settled.
• Use of laser leveling tools and soil stability tests to assess uneven surfaces.
• A customized repair plan is created to restore the concrete slab’s original elevation.

Step 2: Repair Methods for Mudjacking and Slabjacking

Mudjacking (Slabjacking with Cement Slurry)

• A cement-based slurry mixture is injected beneath the slab through small drilled holes.
• The slurry fills voids, stabilizes soil, and lifts the concrete back to level.
• Works best for sidewalks, patios, driveways, and small foundation sections.

Polyurethane Foam Injection (Polyjacking)

• A lightweight, expanding polyurethane foam is injected under the slab.
• The foam hardens and lifts the sunken concrete, offering a faster and long-lasting solution.
• Ideal for garage floors, pool decks, and commercial concrete slabs.

Soil Stabilization and Drainage Correction

• Soil compaction issues are addressed to prevent future concrete sinking.
• French drains, gutters, and grading adjustments improve drainage around concrete slabs.

Step 3: Final Inspection & Preventative Measures

• A final assessment ensures the slab is properly leveled and stable.
• Homeowners receive maintenance recommendations to prevent future settlement.
