Childers Brothers: Odessa, Texas, Mudjacking Services

Have some concrete slabs in Odessa Texas that need mudjacking? At Childes Brothers, we’ve been helping homeowners and business owners level concrete since 1972. In that time, we’ve performed foundation and concrete work for over 15,000 satisfied customers.

When the soil beneath a foundation is overly wet or dry, it can cause a wide array of negative effects for a structure that’s built on that soil. For instance, soil that does not have enough moisture might settle and cracks, causing the foundation above it to shift. This shifting can result in jammed doors or windows, cracked walls, and more.

Any home in Odessa that’s being affected by settling soil can possibly benefit from mudjacking.

Homeowners who opt for this service can expect the following process:

• Holes are drilled on the failing foundation slabs
• Concrete, or a similarly powerful mixture, is injected into the empty spaces between the foundation slabs and shrunken soil
• The sinking foundation is raised back to its original height
• The drilled holes are patched up

n addition to addressing the issues caused by dry soil, mudjacking can also benefit homes that are affected by plumbing leaks, which can wash away the soil beneath a home’s foundation. This process can also address large root systems that can absorb the moisture of soil surrounding a home.

Mudjacking is among the many services offered by Childers Brothers, a foundation repair and soil stabilization specialist. Since 1972, our local, family-operated company has been addressing foundation issues with the best methods, tools, and products available. In addition to mudjacking, our methods of repair also include the installation of helical piers, structural foam, and pier and beam adjustment.

Slab-Jacking with Injection Foam

We may also recommend structural foam concrete lifting. If so, here’s the process you can expect:

• We’ll drill small holes into the sinking cement slabs
• The structural foam will be pumped through these holes to fill the voids between the sinking foundation and the soil
• Our workers will then seal the holes and leave the area looking undisturbed

To find out whether structural foam is the right solution for your home’s foundation problems, contact Childers Brothers today. We can set up a convenient time for one of our foundation experts to visit your Odessa, TX, home and examine any areas of concern.
