Slabjacking

Slabjacking Concrete Reconstruction
Part of our selection of industrial flooring services, slabjacking reconstruction from Houck Specialty Contractors can alleviate the problem of sinking concrete and return uneven flooring to a level state.

What is slabjacking?
If concrete within your facility is starting to sink, there's a good chance that your concrete slabs were installed on poorly compacted fill. Subsurface erosion can also cause sinking concrete. A simple procedure designed to stop concrete from sinking and restore your flooring to a level condition, slabjacking involves filling holes which may have formed under your concrete with a mixture of sand, cement, and other stabilizing additives. Lifting a concrete slab through slabjacking can usually be accomplished in two or three hours.

Slabjacking Benefits
Slabjacking offers an array of benefits in terms of both convenience and cost effectiveness. Slabjacking can be done with little disruption to your facility; because slabjacking can lift the weight of a concrete slab, nothing needs to moved from your flooring to make room for the slabjacking procedure. Plus, because slabjacking is a relatively quick procedure, your flooring can be restored much faster than with other restoration methods. Slabjacking benefits include:

• Slabjacking uses existing sound concrete.
• Slabjacking incurs minimal downtime and inconvenience.
• Slabjacking can usually be accomplished for less than conventional replacement.
• Slabjacking can be performed in any weather condition.
• Slabjacking can restabilize eroded or settled subsoil.
• Slabjacking can be used to raise virtually any interior or exterior concrete surface, including flooring, ramps, walkways, driveways, and steps.
