[s-cars] Epoxy garage floor finishing (NAC)

[Jerry Scott]

Mudjacking is where they drill several holes in the concrete and pump 
concrete under the slab to get it back to level.  The hydraulic pressure 
will lift the slab where it is low.   The holes get filled with concrete 
when they get it to the level that is needed.  I have had it done and it 
works.
