Frequently Asked Questions
We often use a method called concrete mudjacking. When you contact us for concrete repair in Shawnee or the KC Metro area, we’ll talk through which solution makes the most sense for your project.
Concrete-jacking, also known as slabjacking, involves pumping a mixture of Portland cement, sand, and water under the concrete slab to lift it back into place. This method works well for heavier concrete surfaces and is a cost-effective option for repairs.
Typically, a concrete leveling repair lasts up to 5 years, although this can vary depending on factors like soil conditions, drainage, and water runoff in the area. Proper maintenance and care can extend the life of the repair.
The concrete leveling process will sometimes close up existing cracks, but extensive cracks made need separate crack repair in addition to concrete leveling. Concrete-jacking does fill any gaps between the concrete and underlying base. This helps prevent further sinking or settling, providing long-term stability.
Concrete repair can be done in winter, but special precautions are required, such as using heated enclosures or additives that prevent freezing. We typically don’t recommend doing concrete leveling if the temperature is 40 degrees or lower. Cold temperatures can slow curing times, so it’s essential to work with experienced professionals during this season.
Generally, the concrete leveling process won’t damage your landscaping or surrounding structures. Our team takes great care to ensure that the surrounding area remains undisturbed during the repair.
