Filling the Void

Frequently, foundation problems in certain parts of Charles J Coyle, Missouri 63125 are the result of the outside of the foundation settling. When constructing a house, concrete piers usually are set up beneath the perimeter grade beam. The first attempt to fix the problem is by using industry tools to return the house to its original placement. After the readjustment, a void is usually created underneath the main slab.

We then make use of a "mudjacking" technique to fill this emptiness. This is achieved by drilling 2" holes through the perimeter grade beam surrounding the home and pumping a mixture of soil and cement grout into the emptiness. Then the pockets are filled with a fluid blend of soil/cement grout.

Raise Interior Floors

In other situations, the interior area of the slab may have settled. Mudjacking is used to boost interior floors and is achieved from the inside of your house by drilling 2" holes through the slab in the areas that have settled and pumping a blend of soil/cement grout under the foundation. This process uses a stiff mixture of soil/cement grout and is typically associated with more complex foundation problems.
