"This is the second time that I used Jim @ crawlpaces.com Came in the morning like we schedule cover everything with plastic so no mess or dirt on the floor . Did his work and left, it was like nothing happen in my basement.. In my first house we did the encapsulation of the crawling space it make a big difference especially if you have kids with ASTHMA. The second house we have a problem with water coming from the foundation, he did the french drain , water pump and plastic on he walls. "
"We had a very difficult problem diagnostically with water leaking in our lower level. I believe that if we had gone with another company we would have tried several different fixes before finding the solution. In the long run I am sure this saved us money and a lot of aggravation. Additionally, Jim is just a great guy! We feel comfortable giving him our highest recommendation."
"CGS Waterproofing worked on my house couple months ago. Pierre gave me the best customer care and job was done in 2 days! Never had water problems again!"
"They put a pro flo system in to prevent any further water coming in the house. They gave me a lifetime warranty. They explained everything to me. They cleaned up after themselves. These guys worked so diligently to get the job done and left no mess. Very nice experience."
"Raphael and his crew gave a very competitive estimate, showed up on time and on the date requested. They removed all the old materials and took them away, then formed in and poured a new concrete walk and steps to our requirements and finished it nicely. They cleaned up the area to our satisfaction. We will use R B concrete again for future restorations."
"William and team gave me frequent updates of steps in project to eliminate water coming in my home. William made sure I was also pleased with the completed project visually including the basic landscape."
"Concrete lifting. Highly recommend. A concrete pad on the side of the garage was sinking and had dropped about 16 inches below level grade. I wanted the ground stabilized so that it would not pose a threat to the garage, and I wanted the concrete lifted as much as possible back to level. I did not expect it to be completely made level, but I hoped it would be improved as close as possible to level. Raymond and Mike did an outstanding job! Their customer focus was at the top of their priorities. They set realistic expectations and far exceeded them. They kept me involved in the key decisions all through the day. Each time I went to see their progress I kept being surprised at the level of achievement they had already met. There were problems with our slab being thin and unreinforced but they worked creatively to overcome the issues. I will see what happens with the warranty and how things progress in the future, but my expectations are good. Their word was not full of hype and marketing puffery, but if anything it was understated, realistic, and totally credible so I have a good feeling about the future of their repairs. I already recommended them to a neighbor.."
"I will definitely be rehiring Islas Masonry! As new House owners, my husband and I have a few changes to make to our home. Luckily we found Islas Masonry. We wanted to compliment our backyard with a beautiful FirePit. Islas Masonry’s response upon first contacting them was very prompt. I spoke directly with Francisco he and I selected a time for him to come out and see the project. He worked with our availability and was at our house within the same week. A few days later he was working on our backyard. He gave us the best quote and gave us options that would best work with our vision and our budget. Needless to say I was very impressed! I will definitely be calling them again to make finishing touches before our house warming I know they’ll get it done right, beautiful and on time."
"Along with new driveway they waterproofed my garage wall, that was leaking and installed diverters for the water from my roof. Would recommend them for any concrete work and waterproofing you would need done. ONLY REASON FOR 4.5 STAR IS THEY LEFT A LARGE STAIN IN THE ROAD IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE DUE TO HYDROLIC LEAK IN ONE OF THERE MACHINES. {POWER WASHER WILL NOT REMOVE IT}"
Common issues with concrete that may require professional repair or resurfacing include cracks, spalling, uneven surfaces, and weather damage.
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.
Concrete leveling can last anywhere from five to 10 years or more, and in some cases, it can be a permanent solution. The longevity depends on the method used and whether the underlying cause of the sinking is addressed. For example, mudjacking typically lasts five to 10 years, while polyjacking can last for 20 years or more. It's best to consult a professional for an accurate timeline based on your specific situation and any factors that could cause the issue to recur.
Mudjacking can be an expensive foundation repair process, but in many cases, it’s well worth the investment. This is especially true if you’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.
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 polyjacking over mudjacking for more damaged and delicate slabs.
