Benefits of slab jacking
The new concrete mixture acts as a strengthening base for the old concrete mix. The place where the slab lift was performed can be used in a few hours. There is no waste or noise pollution compared to replacing a new structure. This method does not spoil that place compared to other places, so there is no need to clean the place. There is no color change in the structure as the new concrete mix extends below the old slab layer.
However, the process involves excess pump concrete mix, thin concrete mix that can lift structures to the wrong place, form new cracks, or enlarge old cracks. But you can’t do it yourself you need Underpinning Slab Foundations professionals they have good knowledge of this work.
