Aggregate Jacking in the Greater Minneapolis-St. Paul Metropolitan Area

As property owners, going the DIY route for your next concrete leveling project can be tempting. While some may think it would help them save money, one mistake could turn everything around. When concrete is not prepared, handled, placed, and cured correctly, it can pose safety concerns and be costly to fix or redo.

We start by strategically drilling 1 1/8-inch diameter holes in the concrete that needs to be lifted. And then, we’ll hydraulically pump crushed gravel or Portland Cement slurry through the holes, filling all cavities and pushing the slab back to its original grade. After the slab is back in its original place, we clean the concrete surface thoroughly and patch the holes with cement. 

Most local aggregate jacking companies in Minnesota follow the same process but use different materials. One commonly used material is Calcium Carbonate or pulverized rock. This soft, chalky substance will lift slabs but will not stay due to the material’s inability to compact and because Calcium Carbonate is also very vulnerable to water. 

Another popular product is Polyfoam. This injectable liquid chemical reacts to air to make foam. It’s proven to be three to five times more costly than traditional aggregate jacking. Due to its liquid form, it can be hard to control in residential settings.
