Kansas City Mudjacking and Concrete Leveling Specialists

Soil underneath virtually all types of concrete surfaces will eventually compact, shift or erode. Mudjacking is the process of filling cavities or voids under concrete. 

Mudjacking can cost up to 60-75 percent less than complete concrete replacement. Most jobs in Kansas City cost less than $1000!

Mudjacking also is an eco-friendly alternative to concrete slab replacement, which puts millions of tons of material in landfills annually.

Void filling under concrete structures is preventative maintenance that will help prevent soil settling, which allows your concrete to sink and become unlevel. Concrete slabs sink for a variety of reasons, including soil erosion, poor soil preparation and soil movement. The slab sinks because there is less soil under it to support it. 

Mudjacking replaces the missing soil with a sturdy material that is resistant to erosion or shrinkage. In some cases, the concrete has not settled or become unlevel, but voids under the concrete can become a habitat for vermin and termites. Voids also can allow water to enter basements and sometimes crack foundation walls. 

The most important time to repair that concrete is during the early signs of unleveling to prevent cracks developing across any of the sections.

The Kansas City area is notorious for having concrete settling issues with driveways, sidewalks, patio’s, garage floors and pool decks that can be corrected with mudjacking technology.   Kansas City weather creates a great deal of freezing and thawing that causes the ground to expand and contract, creating voids underneath concrete slabs.  Kansas City also receives large amounts of rain at times that can cause drainage issues around and under concrete driveways, sidewalks, and patios. 

Mudjacking is an excellent method of replacing the lost soil and raising the concrete driveway or sidewalk back to original levels. During the building booms of the last two decades many Kansas City builders rushed through the process of backfilling and compacting the soil before pouring concrete driveways, sidewalks, patios at new home sites.  Over time as the soil settles, it leaves voids underneath the concrete slab, which causes the driveway or patio to settle, crack, or break. 

Mudjacking is an excellent method of injecting new soil and mortar into the voids and raising the existing sidewalk, patio or driveway to it’s original position without having to tear our the structure and pour new concrete.  More information on Kansas City driveway, patio and sidewalk concrete mudjacking technology can be found at: /www.kansascityconcreteleveling.com
