No matter where you live, you’ll see concrete forms somewhere, whether in a city or in the country. If you live in a house, there’s definitely concrete in that foundation. Over time, concrete can move and begin to sink – this is where the slab jack process comes into play. Slab jacking is the process of lifting sunken concrete slab and relevelling it to its as-built condition.
Unlike the more traditional method of foundation repairs, which jacks up the entire building and then fills beneath it, slab jacking is a more cost-effective and less time-consuming process. It is achieved by drilling holes in settled slabs or footings and injecting through the holes with polyurethane resin. Eventually, when enough polyurethane resin is injected beneath the footings, the force from this specialised resin will create enough pressure to raise and relevel the structure back into its original position.
This method is particularly effective for sinking concrete slabs, homes foundation, commercial buildings, and even pool surrounds. It ensures minimal disruption while achieving significant soil stabilisation and improving the bearing capacity of the ground beneath. It can be used for residential projects and public buildings, ensuring all structures are safe and level.
