For example: a 10 ft. x 10 ft. section, that needs to be raised, figures to 100 square feet. This job would cost somewhere between $200 and $500 to repair. How far the slab is settled, if there are voids present, or if other sections need to be involved in the repair, will determine where in that scale the job would cost. This is why we offer FREE estimates, so our experienced crew member can come to your home or business, and provide you with an accurate estimate for completing your specific project.

Mudjackingmaterial is a sand based grout that will not lose its density. Combined with Portland cement this non-organic mixture is pumped under the slab of concrete.  Different from organic material, RaiseRite’s slurry will not decompose or breakdown.

The RaiseRite trucks remain parked on the street, while the concrete repair crew maneuvers the equipment to the site requiring repair. The hydraulic mudpump is roughly the size of a riding lawn mower. Armed with many lengths of hose, the mudjacking crew can reach just about anywhere.

Foam plugs help RaiseRite patch the holes, and act as a shock absorber, when slabs are affected by the frost cycle.  Holes that are not patched with foam can pop out, when the material and earth under the slab expand from freezing.

When concrete is raised with polyurethane foam (FoamJacking), these plugs are not used. The material used for raising the slab replaces the inserted foam plug as a shock absorber.

Solid slabs of concrete can be raise and stabilized. Gravel areas or blacktop are unable to be repaired, and need to be replaced or re-installed to remedy settling issues. Slabs of concrete that are badly cracked may also be too damaged to lift.

If you are not sure if your concrete can be raised, call us for a Free Estimate. Raising settled concrete can be half the cost of replacing it with less damage to your landscaping and downtime. Our expert estimators will be able to assess and provide you with an accurate, FREE estimate for your project.

Both methods of concrete lifting will achieve the same results. Mudjacking concrete leveling and polyurethane concrete raising will raise and support sunken or unstable concrete slabs by drilling holes and pumping material under the slab.

Mudjackinguses a sand based material that is infused with Portland cement.  This slurry is hydraulically pumped under the slab to fill voids and raise the concrete.  Mudjacking material weighs on average 100 lbs per cubic foot.

After the slab has been raised, the only visible evidence that the concrete has been repaired are the holes.  For this reason, polyurethane has gained HUGE popularity because of the nearly invisible 5/8″ holes that remain after the job is completed.

Polyurethane concrete raising drills a nearly invisible 3/8 or 5/8″ hole and the process calls for considerably fewer holes than traditional mudjacking.

Concrete raising is typically half the cost of replacing your concrete slab. When large voids are present, this can increase the cost of the repair. While polyurethane material is more expensive than mudjacking material, the smaller hole size, lighter material weight, and fewer injection holes, make the investment in polyurethane over mudjacking well worth it.

RaiseRite is the most honest and friendly company that I have ever worked with. I called for an estimate and instead of telling me I need all these repairs done, they told me just to keep an eye on it. They felt at the time that yes there was some settling happening, but not enough to warrant me paying thousands of dollars in repairs. I had another company come in to give me an estimate and they said I had so much damage that I better get them fixed right away. I did my research, called an inspector, and realized I made a great choice listening to RaiseRite.

“This company performed when scheduled/promised, they were punctual, professional, and clean. I’ve gotten very fast replies when needed as well. Such a smooth experience! Not to mention, our driveway is finally raised and level! It was HORRIBLE before!”

“RaiseRite did a great job not to mention saved me from having to replace my driveway and sidewalk. The crew were very efficient and knowledgeable have already referred them to family members and neighbors.”

The HMI HM-1 hydraulic mudjacking pump was the first concrete raising product engineered and manufactured by HMI, just over 40 years ago. It’s reliability and superior engineering maintains its place in the market, but has also acted as the springboard for other, more advanced models / options which offer various options of engine horsepower, hopper size, pumping pressure, and so much more.

Our largest, self-propelled, multi-functional pump. This rugged and durable pump is the top-of-the-line mudjacking unit. With the highest available pumping pressure, largest material hopper, most horsepower and versatility.

Our most popular model, the self-propelled, hydraulic mudjacking pump drives circles around the competition. Affordable and durable, the Power Pump is a great way to start-up or add to a concrete raising business.

NO REPLY FROM RAISE-RITE. This floored me. As a business owner myself, it"s unbelievable that you are okay to lose a job because you are too lazy to make a phone call and talk to your own company.

Based on this,  I decided to try to salvage the project with Raise-Rite since I was now on my own. I called them, hoping to get someone who understands a customer, and was complexity surprised that they actually had people who could just say, "sure, let"s see what we have", and schedule the job.

MORAL OF THE STORY- a seriously broken piece of the chain can cost you business. Raise-Rite was propped up in this case because there were people WORSE in the sales process.

Raise -Rite did a good job in the end, but when you have a process that makes people look for other options, you"re really vulnerable. If you really can perform the job, as RR can do, it is an absolute crime to act indifferent, allowing opportunities to simply go away. when the rest of the organization know what they are doing and can accomplish their mission.

That fortuitous weekend of labor was the start of it all. The growth and innovations have followed, whether it was the invention of the first hydraulic mud pump or the introduction of polyurethane systems at the entrepreneur level.

RaiseRite Concrete Lifting, Inc. began in 1974, by myself and two others, with no money to buy our equipment so we rented it from my father-in-law. Our first truck was a 1951 Chevy flatbed, we affectionately named "Bullwinkle". By September, RaiseRite needed to add another crew to cover Green Bay.

In 1978, I knew there had to be a more efficient and less strenuous way to raise concrete, so I developed the first hydraulic mudpump. The next year, sales were well on their way as was HMI as we began manufacturing the "new" hydraulic mudjacking pumps. Today, HMI continues to manufacture mudjacking pumps and systems, polyurethane foam lifting systems, and polyurethane foam.

Monthly, HMI hosts Discovery and Training Seminars either at our Manitowoc training facility or various metropolitan areas throughout the United States. These seminars offer individuals looking to add to their existing business or start-up a business, the opportunity to experience "hands-on" how to raise concrete. As a supplier and trainer, HMI has helped put over 1200 families into business and have contributed to the employment of over 10,000 people.

I am still retaining the position of CEO, but I work side by side with my two sons: Jeff-President HMI and Brian-President of RaiseRite. Over the past 40 years, we have lifted and leveled 14,000,000 sq. ft. of concrete participating in over 70,000 projects. HMI"s equipment has lifted and leveled 240,000,000 sq. ft. of concrete on every continent, but Antarctica. I look at this anniversary not being about us at HMI/RaiseRite. It is all about you-our customers-Thank you again!

About HMI/Raise Rite: HMI/Raise Rite has two Manitowoc locations: 4803 Leonard Lane and 1025 E. Albert Dr. employing approximately 30 individuals. In addition to concrete raising, RaiseRite has a foundation piering and waterproofing division. For more information, please use the contact information and links provided below.
