Residential Concrete Raising and Foundation Repair for Wisconsin Homes since 1974 |
MudjackingMudjacking is the process of drilling holes into a slab of concrete, and pumping a sand-based material under it to bring it to level. Traditionally 30-50% less than the cost of replacement, this solution avoids the mess of tearing out concrete and is quick and easy. |
Pressure GroutingPressure grouting is another term used for mudjacking, and is a great solution for leveling your concrete. |
Concrete GrindingConcrete grinding is an alternative to mudjacking. Because mudjacking does not offer a solution to lowering concrete, this method can grind down a high spot to correct the trip hazard. |
Void FillingDue to washout, or animal damage, slabs can sink not only because of unstable soil, but also the absence of soil. Material is pumped under the slab until the void is filled and the resistance will then raise the slab to its original height. In cases when there is only a void, and no raising is necessary, material can offer the support necessary to prevent future settling. |
Helical PiersHelical piers are usually used in new construction applications. A helical pier can be turned into unstable soil and the new footing can be built on top of it, allowing structures to be built on otherwise undesirable sites. |
Resistance PiersResistance piers are hydraulically pushed deep into stable soil allowing a building to be raised back to level. Reistance piers can also be placed under a foundation next to an excavation to hold the structure until the area is back filled. |
Wall AnchorsWall anchors are affixed to the wall for helical pier installation. Different anchors are used if it is a poured or block foundation wall. These anchors allow the wall to be straightened after the auger-like piers have been driven into resistance. |
Foundation Insulation SprayFoundation insulation spray is a polyurethane application. Polyurethane material is sprayed on the exposed foundation wall to offer a water resistant and insulated barrier between the soil and your foundation. |
Polyurethane Concrete RaisingThis foam-like material offers the same result as traditional mudjacking. Benefits of the polyurethane include great void filling capabilities, a lightweight characteristic that does not overburden soil, and uses smaller injection holes then traditional mudjacking. |
