Case Study: Mudjacking in Woodside, NY

The Problem

A homeowner in Woodside, New York, was experiencing significant issues with their sidewalk. Several concrete slabs on the southwest and northwest corners had sunk noticeably, creating uneven surfaces and tripping hazards. The homeowner was also concerned about potential water damage and the overall structural integrity of the sidewalk.

The Diagnosis

The Mudjacking Contractor team conducted a thorough inspection of the affected area and identified the root cause of the problem: voids and gaps in the soil beneath the concrete slabs. These voids were likely caused by a combination of factors, including soil erosion, water infiltration, and the weight of the concrete itself. The team determined that mudjacking was the most effective and cost-efficient solution to restore the sidewalk to its original level.

The Solution

The team implemented a comprehensive mudjacking solution to address the sunken concrete slabs. The process involved the following steps:

  1. Drilling Access Holes: Precisely drilled holes were created in the affected concrete slabs to allow for the injection of the lifting material.
  2. Injection of Stone Slurry Grout: A high-quality stone slurry grout was carefully injected into the voids beneath the concrete slabs, gradually lifting them back to their original position.
  3. Even Distribution: The grout was evenly distributed under the slabs to ensure a uniform lift and prevent future settling.
  4. Waterproofing and Sealing: Once the slabs were lifted to the desired level, the joints between the slabs and the foundation wall were waterproofed and sealed to prevent future water infiltration.
  5. Expansion Joint Sealing: Expansion joints near the lifted area were also sealed to maintain the integrity of the sidewalk and prevent further damage.
Before: The team is busy at work to get access to the underside of the concrete to provide mudjacking services.
After: a picture of after the mudjacking work is complete showing concrete slabs balanced and in a uniform state.
Conclusion

The result was a level and stable sidewalk that not only improved the property’s appearance but also enhanced safety and prevented potential water damage issues. The homeowner was extremely satisfied with the outcome and the professionalism of the Mudjacking Contractor.
