Case Study: Concrete Leveling & Void Filling Using Mudjacking in Brooklyn, NY
Client: Residential Property Owner
Location: Brooklyn, NY
Service Provided: Mudjacking Concrete Lifting
Project Type: Walkway & Driveway Concrete Slab Stabilization
Project Overview
Client Concerns
- Uneven walkways posing trip hazards
- Concrete slabs visibly sinking or settling
- Improper drainage slope directing water toward the center of the walkway
- Drainage pipe protruding above the catchment level, making it non-functional
- Long-term water exposure weakening the soil base
The Mudjacking Contractors Observation & Analysis
- The concrete flags were intentionally sloped toward the center to drain water. However, the drainage grill was improperly installed, not level with the concrete, making it ineffective.
- The drainage pipe extended approx. 2 inches above the collection level, causing water to pool instead of flow.
- Voids beneath the concrete slabs were identified, likely caused by prolonged water intrusion and soil displacement.
Solution: Mudjacking Concrete Lifting Method
To correct the settlement without full slab replacement, our team implemented the Mudjacking Concrete Lifting technique. This process involves injecting a specialized stone slurry grout beneath the slabs to fill voids and lift the concrete back to its original position.
✅ Area 1: Four Concrete Flags (Approx.20 Linear Feet)
- Drilled precision holes in the concrete surface.
- Used diamond blades to cut expansion joints.
- Injected stone slurry grout to lift the Northwest side and fill voids.
- Sealed and waterproofed all joints and repaired drilled holes.
✅ Area 2: One Concrete Flag Near Street (Approx. 5 Linear Feet)
- Identified as another critical sinking slab.
- Same mudjacking process applied to raise and stabilize the slab.
- Special attention paid to expansion joint sealing for long-term durability.
✅ Area 3: Two Large Concrete Flags in Backyard (Approx. 258 Linear Inches)
- Focused on the Southwest side, which showed the greatest settlement.
- Slabs were restored to original level after complete void filling.
- Final step included joint waterproofing and clean surface finishing.
Limitations Noted
Final Results
- Walkways and driveway surfaces were fully restored to safe, level conditions.
- Void areas under slabs completely filled, providing long-term structural stability.
- Clients now enjoy improved safety, aesthetic appeal, and functionality of the exterior surfaces.
