FILL VOIDS    Click here to see an example.

Frequently, foundation problems in the Metroplex are the result of the perimeter of the foundation settling. When the concrete piers are installed under the perimeter grade beam and the foundation is returned to its original position (raised), a void is created under the slab. In some instances, it may be necessary to fill this void to properly support the foundation. Mudjacking to fill this type of void is accomplished from the outside of your home by drilling 2" holes thought the perimeter grade beam and pumping a mixture of soil/cement grout into the void. This type of mudjacking uses a fluid mix of soil/cement grout and is not intended to raise the foundation.

In some situations, the interior portion of the slab foundation may have settled. Mudjacking may be used to return interior floors which have settled to their original position. Mudjacking to raise interior floors is accomplished from the inside of your home by drilling 2" holes through the slab in the areas that have settled and pumping a mixture of soil/cement grout under the foundation. This type of mudjacking uses a stiff mix of soil/cement grout and is often associated with more complicated foundation problems. As a result, it is important to deal with experienced professionals and with a reputable company. Longhorn personnel have extensive experience with the mudjacking process and monitor the work carefully while in progress. Longhorn has an excellent reputation and stands behind its work.
