2. Helical Slab Repair
When faced with settling, broken concrete floors in your basement or garage, slab piers can solve
the problem.
Steel helical piers are installed into the soil under the slab to transfer the weight of the slab to
competent load-bearing strata (soil) or bedrock. Once the piers are installed, you can also lift the
slab back to a level position.
Slab piers allow you to fix your settled slab quickly, without the need to remove the existing slab and
any walls in the area. Heavy-duty steel brackets are attached to the failed slab and steel piers
driven beneath to stable soil strata. Utilizing hydraulic equipment, the concrete slab is lifted to the
appropriate level, stabilized and the bracket is removed.
Some Advantages of Slab Piers
q Concrete floors can be leveled and stabilized without replacing the concrete
q Installations can be performed year round and do not require the use of heavy equipment
q Can be installed in limited access areas
q Cost effective solution
Why concrete sinks...
There can be many reasons as to why concrete sinks: improper compaction of soils during or after
the building process, water intrusion from bad drainage, and natural settlement.
Soils consist of solid particles and the spaces (voids) between these particles. However, void spaces
in soil can cause big problems for buildings and concrete slabs. Concentrated loads, such as
buildings or slabs, can literally squeeze air and water from soils. When this happens, the soil sinks
and the buildings or slabs follow closely behind.
Mudjacking / Concrete Lifting Solutions For St. Louis Area
Owners
Many times we can solve sunken concrete problems using a process called mudjacking. (Also called
void filling or pressure grouting).
Holes are strategically drilled into the slab. Using a portable pump and flexible hoses, we fill these
holes with the special mixture. Lifting a slab using this method can often be accomplished in a few
hours.
There are numerous benefits to concrete lifting or mudjacking.

3. q It can be done in virtually any weather. The material injected beneath the slab provides a strong
base.
q There is little or no disruption to landscaping.
q Nothing needs to be moved off the slab, as the pump can lift the weight of the slab and anything
you have placed on it.
q Driveways, patios, basement floors, warehouse floors, and concrete slabs of any kind can be
repaired using the mudjacking method.
