"They were able to correct the concrete settlement eliminating trip points and areas where water was standing. This was an excellent alternative to replacing the concrete segments where the problem existed."
I would recommend them to other people and I have. It only cost $850 and the thing they used to fix it is an unusual product. But they did a really good job; it just took, like, a couple of hours for the guys to do it.

"I wasn't sure the steps could even be repaired since so much concrete had chipped off and cracked over the years. But Grover Woody came out and looked it over and gave me an estimate on the spot. Weather and our being out of town postponed the job, but we set a new timeline, and he came just when expected, did a wonderful job fixing the steps. I'm so pleased with the result, and that I decided to check on repair rather than just go with replacement. I couldn't be more pleased with the interaction with Mr. Woody and with the work he did. "
Me and my wife had recently purchased our home. Shortly after we discovered there was water damage in the basement we didn't know how serious it was until Brian (One of the owners of Basement Armor) came out to inspect. He found the home had concrete steps, which were covered by a wooden deck, and the steps began to sink and created a void to which water was filling our crawl space and eventually making its way into our basement. (Previous contractors didn't even mention the steps)
The first good thing about Brian and Basement Armor is the price was very affordable for the amount of work he did! We had two other companies come out and the prices they quoted us was unbelievable and their work did not include the French drain in the basement. Brian offered me references and I was able to contact them and even view the work he performed. Everyone I spoke to had nothing but nice things to say and viewing the work he performed had me sold.
The next thing that really stood out was Brian, the owner, was actually in my basement performing the work WITH his guys! This I have never seen. This made me feel at ease about the work being performed, he was approachable and kept me and my wife in the loop about everything going on. Brian made sure the work being performed was to his satisfaction. He even took care of a few things that was not in the contract.
There are so many good things I can say about the work performed by Basement armor. Its the little things that count and Brian takes pride in those little things. While disconnecting my washer and dryer he noticed we had a leak from the kitchen down into the basement. He took care of it for us without charging extra! Other companies would have not even acknowledged there was a leak, let alone fix it with no additional charge. I hope I am making it clear Brian did an outstanding job for us! We are on his list of references and we highly recommend Basement Armor!
"Scott and his crew were wonderful! The work was done exactly as we had planned and it is beautiful. We are so happy we went with Cincinnati Concrete Solutions and would use them again. Highly recommend!!!"

Concrete Mudjacking questions, answered by experts
Mudjacking typically takes 24 to 72 hours (one to three days) to dry and cure completely before you can resume normal use. The exact time can vary depending on the size of the project. Because the slurry mixture contains cement, it must fully harden to ensure that added weight from walking, furniture, or vehicles won't shift the concrete slab. A professional contractor can advise you on when the surface is safe to use. For comparison, if you use polyjacking instead, the polyurethane foam can dry in just a few minutes, but it's best to wait about an hour before use.
The method involves lifting settled concrete using pressurized cement slurry via drilled holes. This solves uneven surfaces and prevents further settling.
Concrete leveling is absolutely worth it if you have sunken concrete slabs and want to restore them to level, especially if the slab is part of your home foundation. Concrete leveling is less than half the price of replacing concrete sidewalks, patios, walkways, and pool decks, and it’s about a quarter of the cost of replacing a foundation. If you also treat the underlying problem, it can be a worthwhile and permanent solution.
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.
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.
