"VESTA sent us the outstanding team of JUSTIN and GREG to accomplish an outstanding job in our concrete driveway. They filled the underground voids and leveled off the several misadjusted segments of the driveway. Top notch. Justin and Greg are very courteous and respectful. They kept us informed at every step. They were very diligent and hardworking, particularly on cold temperature days. Upon completion they left the driveway in showroom condition. Or as our British cousins would say: Good show!! Jolly good show!! Bravo Zulu to VESTA and team."

Concrete Mudjacking questions, answered by experts
Mudjacking typically takes 24 to 72 hours (one to three days) to dry and cure completely before you can resume normal use. The exact time can vary depending on the size of the project. Because the slurry mixture contains cement, it must fully harden to ensure that added weight from walking, furniture, or vehicles won't shift the concrete slab. A professional contractor can advise you on when the surface is safe to use. For comparison, if you use polyjacking instead, the polyurethane foam can dry in just a few minutes, but it's best to wait about an hour before use.
It’s best not to perform mudjacking in the winter unless the ground temperature remains above freezing. Freezing temperatures can cause the slurry to harden too quickly, compromising its strength and longevity. Concrete is also more susceptible to cracking and splitting in cold temperatures, so there’s a higher risk of damaging the slab during the drilling and lifting process in winter.
Mudjacking is suitable for sidewalks, driveways, patios, and nearly all exterior flat structures. However, it may not suit severely damaged or heavily cracked areas.
Charges correlate with surface size, settlement depth, and access, often yielding significant savings over concrete replacement.
Concrete leveling is absolutely worth it if you have sunken concrete slabs and want to restore them to level, especially if the slab is part of your home foundation. Concrete leveling is less than half the price of replacing concrete sidewalks, patios, walkways, and pool decks, and it’s about a quarter of the cost of replacing a foundation. If you also treat the underlying problem, it can be a worthwhile and permanent solution.
