If the soil is frozen, it will be harder to compact using our material which makes it harder to tell for our technicians how compacted the soil is at any given point during the process. The adjacent slab may also freeze to the slab being lifted, adding a bit more… (read more)

Many of our customers have either had concrete lifted by mudjacking or they are getting quotes from mudjacking companies alongside Jackcrete. Many don’t even realize that what we do is a completely different process. While there are many similarities between mudjacking and polyurethane foam concrete lifting, understanding… (read more)
