Does expanding foam lift concrete?

• <div><p>Yes, expanding foam (also known as polyurethane foam) can lift concrete. This approach, called polyjacking, involves injecting the foam rather than concrete slurry to fill voids and raise the concrete slab back into place. It’s often faster and requires smaller drill holes than traditional mudjacking, though it may come at a higher cost. Some contractors also prefer <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/mudjacking-vs-polyjacking.htm">polyjacking over mudjacking</a> for more damaged and delicate slabs.</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: Does mudjacking come with warranties?

• <div><p>Many contractors offer warranties for their work. Confirm terms before starting the project.</p></div>

Q: How long does mudjacking last?

• <div><p>On average, a mudjacking repair lasts between five and 10 years, though it can sometimes last for well beyond a decade under ideal conditions. Its longevity depends heavily on several factors, including the condition of the underlying soil, environmental conditions like freeze/thaw cycles and erosion, and whether the root cause of the sinking, such as drainage issues, is resolved. Because it doesn't always fix the underlying problem of loose soil, mudjacking is often considered a temporary solution. Proper maintenance and evaluation can help extend its lifespan.</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>

Mike iwas efficient and thoughtful about how he did the work. We had both power washing and concrete resealing done on patios, porch, sidewalks and driveway. Additionally he repainted the wood posts and ceiling for our back patio. All work was completed on time and within budget.

"A fantastic experience from start to finish, BGL transformed our vague intentions into concrete form. We needed a soil and grass lawn converted to a rock garden with undemanding but beautiful flora. An adjacent ramp and slab needed to be replaced to correct their inclines. BGL rapidly produced a striking design and then enacted it rapidly and thoroughly. In addition to the concrete work, stone walkways were placed and a drip irrigation system was installed and integrated."
