Polyurethane Concrete Leveling vs. Mudjacking: What's the Difference?
When it comes to repairing uneven or sunken concrete surfaces, understanding your options is crucial. At Benchmark Concrete Raising, we believe in empowering our customers with information so they can make the best decision for their property. Our core values of clear communication, transparent pricing, and quality craftsmanship guide every project we undertake.
What is Mudjacking?
Mudjacking is a traditional method that involves pumping a cement-based slurry beneath sunken concrete slabs. This slurry fills voids and lifts the concrete back to its original position. However, mudjacking has several limitations:
Mess and Disruption: Mudjacking involves drilling large holes and pumping slurry, resulting in more mess and inconvenience.
Shorter Lifespan: Due to weather exposure and soil erosion, mudjacking can deteriorate over time, requiring repeated repairs.
Additional Weight: The heavy cement slurry can contribute to further settling in unstable soil conditions.
Advantages of Polyurethane Concrete Leveling
Benchmark Concrete Raising specializes in polyurethane concrete leveling, offering significant advantages over mudjacking:
