"Thrasher did an excellent job repairing our driveway. They leveled out the entire driveway with amazing precision, and they fixed all the gaps with an attractive sealant that blends beautifully with the concrete. All of the team members I interacted with were professional and polite. I am very pleased with the results and only wish I’d called them sooner."

"Dug holes in garage slab to connect plates from outside to inside with threaded rod and filled holes with concrete. My task was to use large wrench they provided to tighten the nuts on the outside after concrete had time to set. One wall was over 1/2 inch from slab before tightening and the other was over 1/4 inch. After a few weeks I had the gap for both too small to measure. Over 6 months later and all is well. Very professional job."
"The sales guy was very impressive. He explained everything about the process and did a detailed inspection of the areas to be worked on. He was honest in saying that sometimes the concrete seams don't match up perfectly, but that the installers would use a grinder to feather out any spots where this would happen. I asked about cracking and he said that it rarely occurred. The installer came on the appointed day and was still there when I returned from work. He had completed much of the job, but indicated that he had trouble with some of the equipment and that some of the poly-leveling material had sprayed around some of the work areas. He said he would come back and finish the next day (which was a Saturday). He returned Saturday and finished. I inspected the work and was generally happy with the concrete leveling; my front step was now very close to it's original height and my patio was shedding water away from the house. But I did find a couple of things that distressed me and told the installer about them: 1. There were two very noticeable cracks and a third very thin one. Would he be filling these cracks to prevent future water damage? 2. There were many places in the driveway where the slabs were still uneven. Was he planning on grinding those down as promised? After he left, I also noticed that the patching material used to fill the holes seemed to be chipping away already and in several holes, did not even come up to the level of the slab. He later called back and said that he would come back and use a high quality sealer to fill the cracks. He didn't mention the uneven concrete. I later was contacted by the office about payment. I explained that there were outstanding issues. I was assured that arrangement had been made to fix them. Then I made the ultimate error: I paid them. When the sales guy made a follow up call, I told him there were still outstanding issues, and that I had been promised that they would be addressed. No cracks have been filled, the holes collect water every time it rains and I am mortified at the prospect of trying to clear snow from my uneven driveway this winter. Could I have made more noise with them about this? Sure. Should I have to after making three people aware of the problems? Certainly not."
Concrete Mudjacking questions, answered by experts
Mudjacking restores level surfaces, prevents further damage, and is more cost-effective than a full replacement.
The timeframe is generally a few hours, allowing for immediate use post-hydration, ensuring minimal disruption to surrounding activities.
Polyjacking can be a permanent solution to sunken concrete if you also address the underlying issue—like poor drainage—at the same time. The polyurethane material itself can last as long as or even outlast the concrete you’re lifting it with. Your sunken concrete issue will likely return if you don’t couple polyjacking with proper drainage to prevent future soil movement and sinking.
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 is usually reserved for light-duty slabs, like patios, driveways, 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.
