Concrete Slab Lifting and Leveling Dallas Fort Worth

Use a concrete jacking pump and raise the concrete slabs to their original pour position. Backfill areas of void created when lifting the slab to help reinforce the area and lower risk of cracking when in use. If you cannot do it yourself, you can hire a professional concrete lifting and leveling contractor.

Before you pour a concrete slab, you need to consider the place of pouring. If not well organized, use a skip loader or backhoe that will help scrape off the available organic materials on the topsoil.

Use a mudjacking technology where you need to drill a hole or several holes on the sunken concrete section (each hole to be 2 inches in diameter). Inject a slurry of cement, sand, and water with much pressure through the drilled holes. In the process, the slurry lifts the concrete as it hardens underneath.

Dig holes sideways of the sunken concrete until the base of the slap is seen. Hold the slab with an eight-inch c-clamp on both ends. Then use a strong metal strut and cross it to reach the clamp; attach the ends of the metal strut and the clamps with a strong chain. Place one on each end of the metal strut using two car jacks. As you lift your car with a jack, pull up the metal strut on both sides with the carjacks simultaneously to the level required or leave space to fill up with slurry. Improperly filling beneath the slab will result in cracking. This is why professional contractors have specialized equipment to properly lift and level settled or sunken concrete.
