Mud Jacking vs. PolyLevel® in Winnipeg & Surrounding Areas

A lightweight, more precise method to lifting sunken concrete slabs

PolyLevel® is less invasive, less disruptive, and more eco-friendly than mud jacking in Manitoba.

Sinking patios, walkways, driveways, and concrete steps are unsightly and can create a tripping hazard on your property. One method to repairing sinking, settling concrete slabs is traditional mud jacking.

What is mud jacking? Mud jacking is also known as slab jacking and grout pumping. It's a repair technique for lifting concrete slabs with a mortar-based mix. Mud jacking involves pumping a mixture of water, soil, sand and Portland cement under a settling concrete slab. The material, or "slurry", cures to become a solid, stable fill to lift sunken concrete.

The problems with mud jacking: Mud jacking may be widely used, but is it the best option for lifting those sunken concrete slabs? For heavy concrete structures, mud jacking is successful when used in conjunction with slab piers, not as a standalone solution.

For sunken concrete slabs, traditional mud jacking is messy, involves on-site mixing, drilling large holes, and takes hours or days to completely cure, leaving concrete unusable.

• Environmentally friendly & strengthens underlying soil: PolyLevel® does not release harmful chemicals into the soil. On the contrary, PolyLevel® strengthens underlying soil so concrete won't sink down the road, further protecting your investment.
• Stronger & less invasive solution: PolyLevel® is a lightweight foam, but it can support heavy loads and provide greater power than alternative concrete lifting methods. You'll experience greater lifting power than with traditional mud jacking, with less invasive equipment and far less disruption to your daily life.
