What is Concrete Leveling?
The process of raising sunken concrete slabs through
the use of hydraulic pressure injection where a grout, or
other base material, creates a new sub-base by filling
voids beneath concrete slabs though 1” in diameter
holes and hydraulically raising the sunken slab back to
the original position
Also known as concrete raising, concrete lifting, slab-
jacking, mud-jacking
Environmentally responsible application
Reuse existing slabs versus replacement
Limestone material is natural and non-toxic to plants and animals
Definition

History of Concrete Leveling
1929 Mudjacking Begins – Iowa Hwy Dept
1942 WWII – Navy pumps grout under
concrete airfield runways
1959 Airplaco develops “Hydra-Jak”
one of the first mudjack pumps
for leveling and stabilization
1960 Mud-jacking and slab-jacking
through becomes more widely used
1980 for industrial and municipal
applications; various self-
contained pumping systems
are developed and refined
during this time
1983 Grover Miller invents and
patents the A-1 pumping system;
a more efficient mid-range self-
contained concrete leveling
pumping system

Application

How Does A-1 Lift the
Largest Concrete Slabs?
The Kugel Ball
10,000 lb. Amadeus granite ball
5' sphere
Base of Tittlinger Granite
Floats on a continuous stream of
water
The scientific principle is called
Hydrodynamic Lubrication,
like hydro-planing
If it floats, it will lift…
