Slab Jacking FAQ

Concrete :: HouseSmart Drainage :: Slab Jacking :: Foundation Remedial :: Commercial/Industrial

  
Slabjacking is the process of floating a slab back to its original position by pumping a mixture of sand and cement beneath your slab.
    

Our concrete specialists drill strategically placed holes into the slab then using a portable pump and flexible hoses, they fill these holes with the special mixture. Lifting a slab using this method can often be accomplished in a few hours and costs less than half that of replacing a new slab.

There are numerous benefits to slabjacking.

  • It can be done in virtually any weather. The material injected beneath the slab provides a strong base.
  • There is little or no disruption to landscaping.
  • Nothing needs to be moved off the slab, as the pump can lift the weight of the slab and anything you have placed on it.
