Extend the life of your concrete with strategic maintenance.
Concrete is a durable material, but it is not indestructible. Over time, exposure to the Midwest’s extreme temperature fluctuations, heavy moisture, and soil movement can lead to deterioration that threatens the structural integrity of your slabs. At Mixan Mudjacking, we believe that the most cost-effective way to manage your property is through proactive concrete maintenance. By addressing minor issues like small cracks and open joints today, you can prevent the large-scale erosion and settling that lead to expensive structural repairs or full replacement tomorrow. Our maintenance programs are designed to keep your surfaces safe, functional, and visually appealing for years to come.
What is concrete maintenance?
Professional concrete maintenance is a multi-faceted approach to surface preservation. It goes beyond simple cleaning to include technical services such as joint caulking, crack sealing, and surface grinding. At Mixan Mudjacking, our maintenance philosophy is centered on “sealing the envelope” of your concrete. We identify every point where water or debris can penetrate the slab and compromise the subgrade. By utilizing industrial-strength materials and specialized equipment, we create a defensive barrier that shields your concrete from the elements and stabilizes the ground beneath it, ensuring your investment remains solid.
The Mixan Concrete Maintenance Process.
A “one-size-fits-all” approach to maintenance often leads to wasted resources and overlooked problems. Our precision process begins with a thorough structural evaluation to determine the specific needs of your property. We don’t just treat the symptoms; we look for the underlying causes of wear and tear. Whether we are performing a simple joint seal or a targeted grind, we apply the same level of technical skill and attention to detail that we bring to our major lifting projects. This methodical approach ensures that every maintenance task we perform provides maximum protection and durability for your surfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions
We recommend a professional inspection every 2–3 years to identify new cracks or failing joints before they lead to structural settling.
While no service can stop all natural soil movement, proper maintenance (especially caulking) significantly reduces the risk of sinking by preventing water from washing away the subgrade.
Yes. Preventative maintenance is a small investment that can save you the much higher cost of mudjacking or full concrete replacement in the future.
Water. Whether through freeze-thaw cycles or subgrade erosion, moisture is the primary cause of almost all concrete failure.
Absolutely. We provide comprehensive maintenance plans for warehouses, retail centers, and municipal infrastructure to ensure safety and longevity.
