How is concrete raised?

Concrete raising is done by pumping cement grout underneath sunken concrete slabs to restore them to their original grade. It's as simple as 1-2-3!

1. A pattern of 1 1/2-inch holes are drilled through the slabs.

2. A mixture of limestone and cement is pumped under the slab, filling the void. The grout becomes pressurized, hydraulically raising the slab.

3. The holes are then patched with a top patch cement. Since slabs are not being removed, there is little mess, no inconvenience or color change. The area can be used immediately after the slabs are raised.

How much does slabjacking cost?

Slabjacking is usually less than half the cost of pouring new slabs. However, the savings may be even greater, since demolition and removal costs are eliminated, and no landscaping is required.

How long does it take?

Most jobs can be done in hours instead of days.
