Mudjacking in Baltimore and Surrounding Areas

Reasons for leveling

The hardscaping around a building is a valuable investment. Whether it’s a concrete walkway, patio, or driveway, it should function as intended for safety purposes. However, if exterior concrete starts to sink and become uneven, it can crack or create a dangerous tripping hazard. The more it sinks, the bigger the problem, so making prompt repairs is essential.

Many times, property owners believe the damaged concrete must be torn up and replaced, an expensive and stressful endeavor. Fortunately, there’s a better solution.

Mudjacking

Also known as “concrete leveling,” mudjacking is a service that takes existing concrete, which has sunk below the level of the surrounding surfaces, and raises it. It’s a cost-effective (and less stressful) solution to jackhammering the concrete out and replacing it entirely.

How mudjacking works

It’s simple. Concrete mudjacking works by drilling holes into the concrete through which contractors inject a special limestone/Portland concrete mixture with a high-pressure pump. The mixture forces the concrete up and level with the surrounding slabs. The process also fills in the empty space while re-pressurizing the soil. This solution lasts for years and will keep the property clean and safe.
