Essential Guide to Mudjacking for Cheyenne Mountain Homeowners: Affordable Solutions for Sinking Concrete

What Cheyenne Mountain Residents Should Know About Mudjacking

Homeowners in the Cheyenne Mountain and Broadmoor area often notice sinking or uneven concrete slabs on their property. Sinking slabs can create hazards and affect the appearance and value of a home. Mudjacking, also known as slabjacking, is a reliable and cost-effective solution to raise and level these slabs. For residents looking for a sustainable option, mudjacking can restore concrete surfaces without replacing entire sections, making it an ideal choice in the Colorado Springs area.

Understanding the Basics of Mudjacking

Mudjacking involves injecting a mixture of cement, sand, and water under a sunken concrete slab. This mixture, known as “slurry,” fills any voids beneath the slab, lifting it back to its original position. The process strengthens the foundation and prevents further settling. Unlike complete slab replacement, mudjacking is quick, efficient, and affordable. It restores the original appearance and functionality of concrete surfaces in a fraction of the time.

Why Mudjacking Is Important for Cheyenne Mountain Homes

Concrete settling is common in Cheyenne Mountain and near the Broadmoor due to the area’s unique soil conditions and seasonal weather changes. Expansive soils contract and expand, causing slabs to shift and settle over time. Sinking concrete not only poses a safety risk but can also lead to water drainage issues. Mudjacking addresses these problems by re-leveling slabs and reducing future settling, making it essential for homes in the Cheyenne Mountain area.

When Do You Need Mudjacking?

Mudjacking becomes necessary when you notice uneven surfaces, pooling water, or large gaps around concrete edges. Signs like cracks in the concrete, steps, or walkways that are no longer level indicate foundation issues. Addressing these problems early with mudjacking prevents further settling and reduces the need for more extensive repairs. Mudjacking is an ideal choice for sidewalks, driveways, patios, and garage floors showing signs of sinking. Read how Foundation repair can raise your homes value here.

About Ram Jack

Ram Jack is a family-owned business that began operations in 1968, in Ada, OK, where we currently source our piers and brackets. Back then, concrete piering was the original repair method used simply because it was the only technology available at the time. Over time, it became evident that concrete piers did not provide long-term stabilization of foundations and only provided a short-term warranty period. To guarantee the highest grade of customer satisfaction, a greater solution needed to be found.

The Ram Jack owners embarked on a research program to develop a foundation repair system to stand the test of time. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office first issued a patent to Ram Jack for its foundation repair system in 1985. Over the next few years, additional refinements and patents have followed, resulting in the strongest patented system in the industry. Ram Jack driven pilings are ICC-ES recognized (International Construction Code—Evaluation Services). Ram Jack is one of only two ICC-ES recognized foundation repair companies in the industry. Ram Jack’s products meet or exceed code requirements set down by ICC-ES for both commercial and residential properties.
