Conventional concrete restoration of settled concrete flatwork requires saw cutting, removal and disposal of the concrete, leveling the subgrade with a granular base, reforming and replacing the concrete flatwork. In addition, the adjacent landscaping and/or pavement requires rehab. This procedure normally takes several days to complete and is dependant on weather conditions.
Alternatively a typical settled concrete section can be slab jacked in 20 to 40 minutes. In most cases the section can be returned to service upon completion. This significantly reduces any inconveniences to the site residence. Also there is little or no disturbance to adjacent structures or landscaping resulting in less environmental impact.
Because of the reduced down time and little or no rehab to adjacent structures, slab jacking of settled concrete flatwork has proven to be an economical, viable alternative to removal and replacement.
