Get matched with top concrete mudjacking pros in Carmel Valley, CA

Q: Can you mudjack cracked concrete?

• <div><p>Yes, you can mudjack cracked concrete, but the cracks will need to be repaired once the concrete has been leveled. If the concrete is severely cracked in multiple places, replacement may be a better option, but for less severe cracking, mudjacking is a good solution as long as cracks are correctly caulked and sealed.</p></div>

Q: Which is better for lifting concrete: polyjacking or mudjacking?

• <div><p>Polyjacking and mudjacking can both be effective solutions for sinking concrete, but they have key differences. Polyjacking, which uses expanding polyurethane foam, is often considered a better option because the foam is significantly lighter than the cementitious material used for mudjacking. This reduced weight puts less pressure on the underlying soil and lowers the risk of future sinking. Polyjacking is suitable for any sinking concrete slab, while mudjacking is typically only recommended for non-structural concrete, such as sidewalks, patios, pool decks, and driveways. The primary drawback of polyjacking is its cost, which can be up to four times higher than mudjacking&mdash;as much as $25 per square foot compared to a maximum of about $6 per square foot for mudjacking.</p></div>

Q: What is a good slump height?

• <div><p>A good slump height really depends on the project, but there is a use for nearly all slump levels. For example, low slumps are best in projects that require structure, such as curbs and roads. High slumps often require additional reinforcement, but they flow more freely into hard-to-reach spaces. </p></div>

Q: Can mudjacking be done in winter?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;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&rsquo;s a higher risk of damaging the slab during the drilling and lifting process in winter. </p></div>

Q: What is the best underpinning method?

• <div><p>Generally speaking, push piers&mdash;or steel piers&mdash;are the best option for underpinning, as they reach down to solid bedrock to find support for your foundation rather than relying on soil, which could be subject to the same issues as the soil directly below your foundation. However, the best underpinning method for your home depends on your location, how far down the bedrock is, and the type of soil in your area. Helical piers are usually the best option for sandy soil or in areas where the bedrock is too deep to use steel piers. </p></div>
