Can mudjacking damage my foundation?

• <div><p>Mudjacking is usually reserved for light-duty slabs, like patios, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-concrete-driveway-cost.htm">driveways</a>, and sidewalks. However, it can be an effective way to lift garage slabs and concrete around the perimeter of the home, which could harm your foundation if it’s not done properly. The risk of damage is why having a professional mudjacking company carry out the work is important. This type of slab or foundation repair is relatively inexpensive, especially if you consider that a DIY job requires that you pay to rent the necessary equipment.</p></div>

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: Is concrete leveling covered by insurance?

• <div><p>Concrete leveling is not typically covered by insurance. In some cases where the shifting concrete is caused by a natural disaster or storm, you may be able to file an insurance claim if your policy specifically covers those circumstances. In most cases, though, you&rsquo;ll pay out-of-pocket for concrete leveling.</p></div>

Q: What’s the most affordable way to level a concrete floor?

• <div><p>Mudjacking is your best bet for leveling concrete on a tighter budget. It&rsquo;s less expensive than foam or grout mixture. For smaller, surface-level issues, you could also use a self-leveling compound, which creates an even surface over existing concrete&mdash;it&rsquo;s a budget-friendly option suitable for DIY enthusiasts. </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>
