Raising a sunken concrete slab can be a daunting task, but with the right approach, it can be done quickly and efficiently. There are several methods for raising a sunken slab, each with its pros and cons. Here are a few of the most common ways to raise a sunken concrete slab.
Mudjacking: This method involves injecting a mixture of sand, cement, water, and other materials under the sunken slab to lift it back into place. This method is often the quickest and most cost-effective option for smaller concrete slabs, but it may not be suitable for larger or more severely sunken slabs.
Concrete Slabjacking: This method is similar to mudjacking, but uses a heavier mixture of concrete instead of a lighter mixture of mud. This method is often more effective for larger or more severely sunken slabs, but it may be more expensive and take longer to complete than mudjacking.
Polyurethane Foam Injection: This method involves injecting a special type of foam under the sunken slab to lift it back into place. The foam expands as it is injected, filling any voids under the slab and lifting it back into place. This method is often the most effective for severely sunken slabs, and holds up the best long term.
Jackhammering and Replacing: This method involves breaking up the sunken slab and removing it, then installing a new concrete slab in its place. This method is often the most effective for severely sunken slabs, but it may be more expensive and time-consuming than any of the other methods.
