How it works...

A pattern of 1" holes are drilled through the sunken slabs.

Grout is pumped under the slab raising it to the desired height.

The holes are patched with cement.

What is the diff erence between Mudjacking and

Polyurethane Concrete Raising?

BOTH METHODS ACHIEVE THE SAME RESULTS:

Raise and support sunken or unstable concrete slabs by drilling holes and

pumping material under the slab.

MUDJACKING uses a grout-based material that is infused with Portland

cement. This slurry is hydraulically pumped under the slab to fi ll voids

and raise the concrete. Mudjacking material weighs on average 100 lbs.

per cubic foot.

POLYURETHANE CONCRETE RAISING uses a foam material that

is injected under the slab. When the components of this material are

mixed, a reaction causes the material to expand. This expanded foam

fi lls any voids and raises concrete. This material will never lose density.

After it is installed, it is permanent and weighs about 2 lbs. per cubic foot.

MUDJACKING involves drilling a series of 1” holes in a slab of concrete

so the material can be pumped under the settled slab.

POLYURETHANE CONCRETE RAISING drills a nearly invisible 3/8”

hole and the process calls for considerably fewer holes than traditional

mudjacking.

MudjackingMudjacking is a method of lifting concrete that involves drilling 1” holes

through the concrete surface and injecting a grout-based material to

fi ll under any slab. This will fi ll voids and raise the concrete section to

the desired grade. The procedure can be used to raise virtually any rigid

pavement.

After the void is fi lled and the concrete is raised to the desired height,

the holes are then fi lled with concrete. These holes match very well with

existing concrete. The newly concreted holes darken with age; it usually

matches very well within 1 - 8 months depending on the age of existing

concrete.

Mudjacking is much cheaper than Polyurethane Lifting due to the cost

of the foam materials. And in most cases, the Mudjacking does just as

good as the Polyurethane. The benefi t of using Mixan Mudjacking is we

do both, so we will let you know what process will work the best for you

and will be the most cost eff ective.

IS MUDJACKING PERMANENT?

Yes, the material we fi ll your void with is crushed rock. The rock will

not break down over time and is less likely to erode than soil. Most

sinking is caused by compaction or erosion of soil under the slab. This

usually occurs around the foundation of newer construction, leading

to drops in the front of your driveway, in sidewalks near your home,

and in concrete slabs over the utility trenches leading into the home.

In older construction, there can be drainage problems which cause soil

to erode or compact. Even if the concrete is torn out and replaced, the

same problem can occur unless the compaction process is fi nished or the

drainage problem is corrected.

REPLACING CONCRETE?

There are many factors to consider when you are faced with broken or

settled concrete. First and foremost, is the condition of the concrete: if

the concrete is cracked into numerous small chunks or badly eroded,

showing exposed aggregate, you may be better off replacing the slab.

If you have a relatively good slab of concrete, or if you intend to cover

the slab with another fl oor system, you should defi nitely consider

Mudjacking or Polyurethane Foam Lifting to level the concrete.

Consideration should also be given to what has caused the concrete to

settle.

WHY SHOULD I LIFT OR LEVEL MY CONCRETE?

• To eliminate a tripping or slipping hazard, which can be a safety and a

liability issue.

• Aesthetics – to improve the look of an area. In a large area, like a pool

deck, an uneven slab detracts from the overall look.

• Preventative maintenance - stabilizing the subsoil can stop the slab

from breaking.

• Reduced maintenance cost in the long term.

• Control water drainage.

• More cost eff ective than replacing the slab.

• Faster than replacement - you can use the area when done.

Void FillingVoid Filling will eliminate the voids and compact the supporting soils. The root causes of voids are often poor compaction of the fi ll materials, erosion, high water content (shrink and swell cycles), decaying organic materials, freeze and thaw cycles, animals and vibration. These voids, if left unattended, will lead to the eventual breaking of the concrete. Voids can lead to erosion by allowing water to travel under the slab. These voids can be very common under driveways, attached garages and walkways.

In industry, the vibrations of machinery cause the supporting base material to vibrate, which allows the fi ner particles to settle out and consolidate lower down, leaving a void, resulting in settled and eventually broken concrete.

Underground municipal infrastructures are susceptible to voids, especially around manholes, catch basins and utility raceways. Void fi lling and leak repair can be done either from the inside or from the surface, eliminating the need to excavate.

Void Filling Foam is designed to fl ow longer before it cures. The low viscosity of the polyurethane allows it to fl ow and fi ll voids to 1/32. All this means less mess and inconvenience and a minimal loss of use of the slab. In commercial settings, loss of use can be a signifi cant cost when considering repairs.

SETTLEMENT

Settlement can destroy the integrity of concrete slabs and foundations.

The root causes are often poor compaction of original fi ll materials, high

water content, decaying organic materials, freeze-thaw cycles, animals,

vibration, heavy equipment, erosion caused by poor drainage, or broken

underground pipes.

Poor compaction and erosion are the most common reason concrete

settles, and when water is added to the equation, even the most

compacted subgrades will settle. By tending to the root cause, the job

gets done correctly and the slab is only lifted once.

Polyurethane Concrete Raising achieves the same results as traditional

mudjacking, with a lightweight material that requires smaller and fewer

injection holes. Also known as Foam Lifting, Polyurethane Concrete

Lifting/Raising is the latest and greatest concrete repair method

available.

The equipment is contained in a truck

or trailer, and has a suffi cient length of

hose to accommodate your needs. The

equipment remains parked while the

polyurethane crew pulls out enough

hose to reach the area being repaired.

Polyurethane foam is injected under the

slab, fi lling voids and raising it to the

correct level.

MORE EFFICIENT

It’s over 80% faster than alternative methods of repair. Material hardens in

minutes, allowing the project to be completed in hours, versus the days or

weeks that other methods require.

SUPERIOR ACCURACY

Polyurethane foam creates its own hydraulic lift, so we can control

the lifting process precisely to within 10/1000th of an inch. Other

methods must account for shrinkage of material by over-lifting the area,

polyurethane will never shrink.

LESS DISRUPTION

Due to the fast curing time of high-density polyurethane, traffi c control can

be removed and lanes reopened to traffi c immediately after the injection

process. Nighttime scheduling lessens delays and inconveniences.

HIGHER DURABILITY

Polyurethane’s compressive strength provides a solid and dense product,

yet its tensile strength and elongation allows for the material to be pliable,

allowing it to permanently support the roadway structure by being tough,

yet forgiving.

Polyurethane Injection/Lifting CONFORMABILITYBy expanding 20 times its liquid volume, polyurethane foam material moves laterally beneath the pavement, fi lling all voids. Additionally, it perfectly contours to the size and shape of the voids to fully completely support the pavement with 100% coverage.

COMPACTION ABILITYAn additional benefi t during the lifting process is the compaction of base soils through the resistance of lifting the concrete structure. The material bleeds into the subbase and binds soil particles together, strengthening the base material.

LIGHTER WEIGHTPolyurethane only adds 2 pounds per cubic foot to the subbase, compared to the 100 pounds-plus that mudjacking grout adds.

BETTER STRUCTURAL INTEGRITYTo help maintain structural integrity of the concrete pavement, injection holes are only 3/8” in diameter, versus 1” or larger for other concrete lifting methods.

MOISTURE RESISTANTOur specially formulated polyurethane material is designed for wet conditions. Its hydrophobic properties displace and repel water without being compromised and replaces any missing subbase with a solid/dense material unaff ected by moisture.

MOISTURE SEAL BARRIERPolyurethane seals the underside of concrete pavement joints and cracks to eliminate water penetration and erosion issues.

We Can Handle All Sorts of Agricultural

Mudjacking and Concrete Applications

Repair the tired and cracked base of your grain bins!

We do a number of Bins and Silos.

We can usually come in and Mudjack your bin and

silos without disrupting your operation.

Grain bin fl oors are challenged by the heavy weight of the grain stored

inside. They are also less supported as rodents tunnel holes underneath.

Help maintain your grain bins by allowing us to fi ll the voids and help

raise and support the concrete slab. This will provide a better storage

base for your grain.

Damaged grain bin fl oors and foundations are unsafe and unhealthy, not

to mention the damage caused to the grain.

By fi lling in any crack or open area under your fl oors, we would be able

to return your bin to a safe and functional storage facility. Grain bins are

a large investment, so don’t jeopardize your bins or silos by overlooking

problems that may come up with your foundations, fl oors or pads.

Fixing voids or settling issues when they are fi rst noticed may save

thousands in later fi xes. Let us be your partner to solve any foundation

or fl oor problems you may encounter on your farm or feedlot. We’ll do

our best to ensure that your foundation remains strong and functional.

Remember, without a solid base many things can go wrong.

Grain Bins & Silos

Your grain bins are usually fl oating foundations, meaning the

foundations don’t go below the frost line. So, with this said, the bins

are much more likely to shift and crack over time, so instead of paying

thousands to have a new fl oor installed with our specialized equipment,

we can lift your bin back in place or fi ll a void due to rodents. This will

provide a solid base under your bin fl oor that will support all of your

grain. A 9,000 bushel bin weighs over 500,000 lbs. plus the bin and fl oor

so any part of the fl oor, that isn’t supported with this much weight, you

can imagine what damage can be done to a fl oor or bin.

If you are aff ected by any of these issues, give us a call. We would be

happy to provide you with a written proposal for the necessary repairs.

MUDJACKING OFFERS ADDITIONAL BENEFITS

• Mudjacking stabilizes the subsoil, and fi lls the void, eliminating erosion,

water penetration, certain foundation leaks, animals and insects.

• On much larger grain bins, if you are having problems with the bin

sinking, we can stabilize the bin with push piers. This process will

stabilize the bin by placing 3” piers into the ground 10’-100’ depending

on the soils.

• This has a lifetime warranty.

• We can also lift the grain bin back into place using push piers and

mudjacking, if needed.

Curtain Grouting

Water leaking through cracks and joints in storm sewer pipes, culverts, manholes and other

below grade structures creates a maintenance nightmare. Water carries surrounding soil

into the structures resulting in erosion problems, cave-ins, potholes and broken sidewalks.

Serious structural damage can occur if left untreated. You can seal the leaks and stabilize the

soil inexpensively and permanently.

Curtain Grouting is a process of pressure injection of our polyurethane resins to stop water leaking through cracks or joints in concrete or masonry. The resin will react with water and expand to form a water-tight gasket inside or behind the structure.

Curtain Grouting is used for manholes, sewer pipes, water pipes, and underground tunnels.

Soil StabilizationSoil stabilization is a process where

a low dose of catalyst is used,

slowing down the reaction which

allows the material to permeate

loosely compacted soil. The resin

is normally injected through small

diameter pipes or “probes” deep into

the soil, and as it cures it solidifi es,

encapsulating the soil where it

has penetrated. These columns are

then used as the solid base for the

polyurethane to do the heavy lifts or

for soil compaction.

This method is useful to stabilize the soils under roads, around manholes,

basins and bridge aprons and is recommended before lifting after through

poor or loose soil substrates (sandy soils, poorly compacted fi ll, etc.) results

in erosion, movement and/or loss of soils causing failure in above-and

below-grade structures such as slabs, foundations, roadways and bridges.

Leak/Crack Sealing

FAQsHOW MUCH MONEY WILL I SAVE BY MUDJACKING?

Mudjacking is approximately 1/2 - 1/3 the cost of concrete

replacement.

HOW LONG DOES MUDJACKING TAKE?

Average mudjacking jobs usually take 1 - 2 hours. Larger jobs take

longer, but usually not longer than 1 day.

WHAT CAN BE MUDJACKED? WHAT CANNOT?

All concrete can be mudjacked. Examples include driveways, steps,

patios, pools, basement fl oors, garage fl oors, sidewalks, grain

bins, city streets, boat ramps, parking lots, interior fl oors, loading

docks, runways, highways, schools, generator pads, warehouse

fl oors and more.

There may be a few circumstances when concrete cannot be

mudjacked. It is best to get an estimate to fi nd out. Also, if the

concrete is severely broken up, it is usually better to be replaced

than mudjacked.

WHEN CAN WE DRIVE ON THE DRIVEWAY?

Vehicle traffi c 4-6 hours for average size vehicles when

mudjacking and 15 minutes when using polyurethane.

HOW LONG WILL CONCRETE LEVELING OR RAISING LAST?

This process can last many years or decades, because our product

is crushed rock or Polyurethane, so it will not settle or deteriorate

over time. However, if the ground is not 100% compacted or

there continues to be soil washed out under the product this may

reoccur. If it does, these slabs can be lifted back into place again

using the same holes.

Polyurethane foam can be very eff ective in sealing leaking cracks

in foundation walls and fl oors, in both residential and commercial

applications. The polyurethane foam is injected from the inside, through

the concrete wall, to form a permanent waterproof barrier that adheres

to the outside of the concrete wall displacing moisture and water. This

method of sealing compared to other methods, in most cases, solves the

root cause of the problem by addressing the issue on the outside of the

wall rather than only sealing the crack on the inside, which over time

may allow water to eventually push through again.

Installation is easy with minimum disruption or mess. This process is cost

eff ective, and also adds an insulating value to the wall or fl oor where

foam is added.

This process can be used for basement walls,

fl oors, parking garages, garage fl oors,

retaining walls and commercial buildings.

business. You guys are the Best... Thanks again Glen D. (Omaha, NE)

Mixan came out and raised our 65’ grain bin for much cheaper than what it was going

to cost me to have a new one installed. I still can’t get over what they did, they lifted it 6”

and fi lled in the void made by mice. I’m very happy, I've seen them on their website. I never

thought this could be done. You guys saved me thousands and you were very informative.
