Mud Jacking Contractor – A Proven Way to Lift and Stabilise Sunken Concrete
Uneven concrete is more than an eyesore; it's often a sign of underlying soil problems that can worsen over time. Driveways, sidewalks, patios, and interior slabs often settle due to erosion, moisture changes, or poor soil support. Hiring a professional mud jacking contractor is one of the most effective ways to fix these problems without replacing the entire concrete surface. Robbins Foundation Systems provides expert mud jacking services designed to restore stability and extend the life of existing concrete.
What is Mud Jacking and When is it Used?
The Technique
Mud jacking is a concrete lifting technique used to lift up sunken slabs by pouring cement-based mortar beneath them. As the mix fills the voids and compacts the loose soil, it lifts the slab back to a level position.
Mud jacking is ideal when the concrete itself is structurally strong but has shifted due to soil settling.
This method is commonly used for:
• Driveways and Walkways
• Garage and Basement Floors
• Patios and Verandas
• Sidewalks and Driveways
• Commercial Concrete Surfaces
Why Does Concrete Settlement Occur?
Concrete depends entirely on the soil beneath it for support. When that soil weakens or shifts, the slab follows. Common causes include:
Water Erosion
Water erosion from rainfall or drainage problems
Soil Shrinkage & Expansion
Shrinkage and expansion of soil due to changes in moisture
Poor Compaction
Poor compaction of soil during construction
Pipeline Leaking
Pipeline leaking under slab
Natural Land Settlement
Natural land settlement over time
A skilled mud jacking contractor focuses on lifting the slab as well as stabilising the soil.
How Does Robbins Foundation System Perform Mud Jacking?
Robbins Foundation Systems approaches mud jacking with precision to avoid excessive lifting or additional cracking. 1
Observe and Plan
Technicians assess the condition of the slab, depth of settlement, and surrounding soil to confirm that mud jacking is the right solution. 2
Strategic Drilling
Small holes are drilled in the slab to allow access for injection while minimising impact on the surface.
Solution Injection
The lifting material is pumped under the slab in a controlled manner, gradually raising it to the proper level. 4
Final Sealing
The injection holes are patched, leaving a clean and functional surface ready for use.
This process usually takes only a few hours and can avoid major disruption.
The Mud Jacking Process
Up Close
Each step is carried out with precision to ensure the slab is restored to a level position without causing further damage to the surface or surrounding structure.
