Q: What materials are used in mudjacking?

• <div><p>A slurry of cement, sand, and water is injected beneath the concrete to lift and stabilize it.</p></div>

Q: Is there an alternative to underpinning?

• <div><p>There is no real alternative to underpinning, although mudjacking and polyjacking are other repair methods that can add support from underneath your foundation. Rather than placing supportive piers under your structure, these involve pumping a material under your slab to lift a sunken section back into its original position. Polyjacking, in particular, is sometimes a suitable solution for stabilization issues under slab foundations, but underpinning is often accepted as the best and most permanent solution.</p></div>

Q: How long does polyjacking last?

• <div><p>Polyjacking can be a permanent solution to sunken concrete if you also address the underlying issue&mdash;like poor drainage&mdash;at the same time. The polyurethane material itself can last as long as or even outlast the concrete you&rsquo;re lifting it with. Your sunken concrete issue will likely return if you don&rsquo;t couple polyjacking with proper drainage to prevent future soil movement and sinking. </p></div>

Q: Do concrete mudjacking companies need to be licensed?

• <div><p>Most states and municipalities don&rsquo;t require concrete mudjacking companies to carry a specific license, but they usually need to have a general contractor&rsquo;s license, and they should be fully insured. The only exception is if the mudjacking company provides foundation repairs as well, or if it offers mudjacking for home foundations. In that case, they will typically need a foundation repair contractor&rsquo;s license. You can check state requirements and then use Angi&rsquo;s <a href="https://www.angi.com/angi-license-check.htm">license lookup tool</a> to confirm that a company is properly licensed to provide mudjacking services in your area.</p></div>

Q: Is mudjacking worth it?

• <div><p>Mudjacking can be an expensive foundation repair process, but in many cases, it&rsquo;s well worth the investment. This is especially true if you&rsquo;re lifting a portion of sunken foundation slab back into place. In that case, mudjacking can help avoid major structural damage and even home collapse by restoring the integrity of your structure with minimally invasive procedures. Mudjacking a concrete patio, walkway, or sidewalk can be worthwhile because it removes tripping hazards and makes your outdoor area more aesthetically appealing.</p></div>

"I had a terrific experience with Foundations On The Level. Peter provided terrific insight and took the time to fully explain the issue with my foundation. Peter took care of everything, including setting up the engineer and getting the necessary permits with the city. Although my foundation issue was not a big job, Peter always took the time to properly communicate and made sure my repairs were done properly. The project started and ended on time, which is a big plus. Foundations On The Level is a great and unique contractor because they are professional, communicative, and are not looking to take advantage of you."
