Movement to a slab foundation generally
occurs as a result of soil shrinking, expanding, compacting, consolidation
or inadequate support
To the same extent the slab will move once
raised, with bearing support not restored. This occurrence can be
remedied by a process of soil-cement injections to the affected
areas to ensure support and stability known as mudjacking or pressure
grouting
Mudjacking employs a low pressure hydraulic
process wherein a soil-cement grout is pumped into a series of 2"
diameter holes. The process dictates that the grout will follow
the path of least resistance and therefore fill any voids
