Today, I have Jennifer Strauch with Classic Concrete Raising to discuss mudjacking. I’m sure you’re wondering what it is and why you might need it. I used this company seven years ago when I had a problem with my house.

Jennifer has been doing mudjacking in Colorado for 32 years and this is an alternative to breaking out and replacing sinking concrete. Mudjacking really can only help where concrete has sunken in. Mudjacking is not a structural issue for the property.

If your floors have sunk but your walls have not, then that is a sign that your problem is not a structural issue. Mudjacking is a unique process that raises concrete that has sunk from its once perfect levels back to its original state using high-grade, non-shrinking concrete mixtures. During this process, professionals will attempt to raise the slabs of concrete close to their original grade and alignment. 

The concept of mudjacking is very simple, but should still only be attempted by professionals. The process requires specialized equipment and takes a trained eye to get the job done just right.

This is a great alternative to foam jacking, and mudjacking is more environmentally friendly. Concrete slabs that have been created through foam jacking must be disposed of properly because of the chemicals involved.

If you have any further questions about mudjacking, or if you want to contact Jennifer, please don’t hesitate to contact me!
