What is Slabjacking? Part 2 of 3 (In action)
In our last post we briefly discussed slabjacking of concrete pavements.
Since I recently had slab jacking performed at my home, I thought some photos of slabjacking in action would be helpful.
Figure 1 (During) First holes are drilled through the slab at select locations.
Figure 2 (During) The equipment is generally comprised of a grout filled wagon, hose, valve, and a pump.
Figure 3 (During) The is pumped under the slab through the holes drilled in Figure 1. The pressurized grout lifts the slab.
You can see from the photographs that slabjacking is a science and an art. Experience is of the utmost importance.
Next week we see the finished result.
How do you find a reputable slabjacker? I did a search for “slabjacking” on Angie’s List and found a company with a very good rating that I recalled hiring about a decade ago to slabjack another portion of my driveway. This rating confirmed my past experience with them.
(By the way – “Thank you” to Accurate Concrete Leveling, Inc. for allowing me to photograph slabjacking in action.)
