At Helitech, the mudjacking process involves the use of a hydraulic pressure system. This system inserts the grout, which is made up of water, aggregate, and Portland cement, and fills any spaces underneath the concrete slab in order to raise and level the sunken areas.
The process only takes a few hours, and it will cause very little disruption to the movement of traffic in the area.
First, our technicians drill holes that are 2 inches deep through the slab of concrete. In those holes, the grout mixture is injected. Once all of the spaces have been filled, the concrete slab is raised to an even height. Finally, we will broom clean the area and repair the injection holes.
Mudjacking is advantageous on many different surfaces, including driveways, sidewalks, garage and basement floors, porches, swimming pool aprons, bridge approaches, factory floors, and concrete streets. This process has the benefit of both improving the appearance of these areas and costing much less than it would to replace the entire slab. In addition, it rectifies any hazards that the uneven slab has created. The cost of mudjacking varies based on the type of space and severity of the problem – contact us today to request a free estimate.
Our experiences with Helitech has been very positive especially on the heels of some bad contractor experiences! Mark Keleher was such an awesome front person to work with at the QCCA Expo Home show! He has a wealth of knowledge under his belt and really knows how to work with people! He came to our house and took pictures and was very good about giving an accurate estimate while explaining all of the details of the project. Mark called a few times to check in on us before Charlie and his crew came out and worked very professionally. I had originally taken the time off to watch the progress and to make certain things were on the up and up. Within about an hour of talking to them and Charlie carefully explaining down to the last detail what would be done, I was certain we had professionals in here! It was fun to watch the progress of the basement and I checked in every so often just for my own knowledge.
We were so concerned about the water issues that had been created from a poor job on a cement front porch. After the guys were here, it completely relieved the pressure on the walls, the sump pump and eased our minds completely! We would highly recommend Helitech again, and wouldn’t hesitate to call them if we had any other issues!
I heard good things about the company, plus the lifetime warranty on the work done is a very good seller for me. Your Home Care Specialists was friendly and would keep me informed on your time coming out, your project foreman (Dave) was very good and his workers also. They were very friendly and did a good job also. You have some good employees. I’m glad I used Helitech for this job.
