At Keystone Foundation Repair, we understand the importance of maintaining safe and functional concrete surfaces around your home or business. Uneven concrete slabs can create trip hazards, water drainage issues, and even impact the aesthetics of your property. That’s where our slab jacking service comes in—a reliable and efficient solution to restore your concrete to its original condition.
What is Slab Jacking?
Slab jacking, also known as mud jacking or concrete leveling, is a proven method for correcting uneven concrete surfaces. Whether it’s your driveway, sidewalk, patio, or even a garage floor, slab jacking provides a fast and cost-effective way to lift and level sunken concrete slabs. This process not only restores the functionality of your concrete but also enhances its appearance.
How Does Slab Jacking Work?
The process of slab jacking involves injecting a specially formulated material beneath the sunken slab to raise it back to its original position. Here’s how we do it at Keystone Foundation Repair:
Drilling Precision Holes: We start by drilling small, carefully placed holes into the affected concrete slab.
Pumping the Lifting Material: A slurry mixture, typically composed of water, sand, cement, and other additives, is pumped through these holes to fill the voids underneath the slab.
Raising the Slab: As the slurry fills the space beneath the slab, it exerts pressure, gradually lifting the concrete back to its proper elevation.
Sealing the Holes: Once the slab is back in place, we fill and seal the drilled holes with non-shrink grout, ensuring a clean finish.
When Should You Consider Slab Jacking?
Slab jacking is an ideal solution for a variety of concrete issues, including:
Driveways and Sidewalks: Eliminate trip hazards and correct drainage problems caused by sunken slabs.
Patios: Level your patio for improved usability and visual appeal.
Garage Floors: Address uneven surfaces that can interfere with garage doors or create potential hazards.
Foundations: In some cases, slab jacking can correct minor foundation issues, helping restore stability.

Considerations to Keep in Mind
While slab jacking is an excellent solution for many situations, it’s important to note that it may not be a permanent fix if the underlying soil conditions continue to shift or erode. Also, slab jacking is most effective when the slab is intact, and the underlying problem is voids or slight settling rather than severe structural damage.
