Advantages of Slabjacking
It is a relatively quick and easy process.
- The grout used to raise the slab provides a stable base, thus strengthening the slab.
- Low cost: The cost to raise the concrete slab to its original position is approximately one third compared to replacement.
- Since slabs are not being removed, there is very little mess or inconvenience.
- No loss of use: This technique allows the client to use the slab immediately. If the slab is replaced the concrete has to cure for a minimum of 28 days.
- There is no waste involved, compared to slab replacement, where the removed material will end up in the landfill results are better environmentally.
- There is no noisy concrete breaking, with its associated dust and debris.
- Slabjacking can be performed in almost any weather conditions.
- Surrounding grass is not dug up, so there is no reseeding and waiting for new grass to grow.
- Because the old slabs are still there, the color of the concrete remains constant.
