Concrete Lifting
Raising concrete doesn’t have to be difficult to understand. It’s a basic system that follows simple concepts. While called a variety of things, it is the simple process of pumping a mixture below a piece of concrete at pressures in the 500 to 3000 PSI range, lifting the concrete, and filling the void below it.
Concrete lifting works by drilling small holes in the concrete’s surface. We then pump slurry through the holes to fill in the void of earth below the concrete. When the slurry fills in the hole beneath the concrete, the outward pressure of adding additional slurry forces the concrete slab upwards. We fill in each of the holes with shrink-proof grout, and it can be driven on shortly thereafter.
The cost of concrete lifting averages a fraction of the cost of replacement. Concrete lifting is faster, cleaner, and more cost-effective than replacement. Concrete lifting is usually a permanent fix to your concrete problems, making it a worthwhile investment.
Concrete Work
Concrete replacement is rather straightforward on the surface. It is the details that separate one contractor from another. We only use 4000 mix concrete with fiber on all of your projects. This level of concrete ensures you get the best possible project results with your concrete replacement work.
