Residential & Commercial Concrete Lifting Services – 780.218.7511

Just about every kind of concrete driveway or path is going to crack or sink overtime. Over time the concrete will become more and more uneven which is unsightly and also a safety hazard. The curb appeal of your property goes down and you’re at risk of water damage as water seeps into cracks in the concrete and possibly into your foundation. Left unattended, some of the unwanted results can include:

Liability issues as a result of tripping hazards that have not been uncorrected
Large and unexpected water damage expenses and repairs
Significant reduction in your property value

An environmentally friendly and cost-effective alternative to replacing damaged concrete is to fix the problem with what is known as Concrete Lifting or Mud Jacking.

Merritt concrete’s services include:

Repairing and levelling of concrete walkways, driveways, garage pads, and patios
Filling up spaces or voids which exists under concrete

Merit Concrete is committed to grade A concrete levelling services!

Process

Generally, three equipment operators are needed on the job site to manage the process. The lead operator oversees the work and manages the lifting process.

Step 1

Prior to the Concrete Lifting process, holes are drilled through the sunken portion of the concrete in a 1.5″ grid pattern.

Step 2

A special mixture of grout is then used which is pumped down through the holes and under the sunken portion of the concrete. This grout mixture works to fill in the void which allowed the concrete to sink. As more grout is injected, upward pressure is created levelling the concrete slab.

Step 3

When the concrete levelling process is complete, the injection holes are filled in using a non shrinking concrete. The concrete is then cleaned thoroughly and within hours your concrete driveway or walkway is completely usable.

Staff & Equipment Required for Concrete Lifting:

Mudjacking or Concrete Lifting does require very specialized operators and equipment in order for the job to be completed safely and properly. Some of the equipment needed includes:

Truck Mounted Raw Material Hoppers (Sand/Clay and Portland Cement)
Truck Mounted Raw Materials Conveyor System
Truck Mounted Paddle Mixer
Portable Grout Pump
Concrete Drills
Concrete Saws

Testimonials

Hello Doug,

Thanks very much for the caulking and sand info.I wanted to also tell you what an absolute pleasure it was to have you and Merit do the work on my driveway. From the minute you arrived to do the estimate, to work day when Reg introduced himself, through to finish and the extra time and professional knowledge and support you provided at the end of your day. Every encounter with you and Merit was professional, respectful, knowledgeable, timely, and truly hassle-free. I always felt you were honest and full of integrity in both personal and professional character. I appreciate that….and as a single woman I can tell you that it is a rare occasion that I felt treated with such respect and feel perfectly happy with our business dealings. If I ever have the opportunity to recommend a concrete repair company, I will most definitely be recommending you and Merit.Thank you for providing such the wonderful experience and a great job on my driveway and sidewalk.

Please pass this along to Reg and anyone else you would like to share it with.

Dear Doug and Reg,

I thank you all – Reg, Dan, Ryan and you, Doug, for your thorough work, timeliness – both for use of good weather and follow through to do the work when you said you would do it.

And especially, I thank you, Reg, for your kindness ensuring that I understood exactly what the situation was and what was needed to be done to correct that, and that I will always appreciate.

With best wishes to you all,

Blessings, Donna
