Best Concrete Mudjacking Near San Francisco

What is Mudjacking?

Mudjacking, concrete lifting, slab leveling and slab jacking all mean the same thing: fixing a settled/slanted slab of concrete by pumping "concrete mud" below it.

The process involves lifting a settled or slanted slab of concrete typically using heavy machinery. Then the company drills holes through the lifted slab in order to pump a concrete mixture called mud below it. When this concrete dries, the concrete slab is now supported back into its original flat surface.

Mud or Slurry is the cement, sand and water mixture pumped under the slab, leading to the term Mud-Jacking.
