What is an alternative to trenching?

• <div><p>Boring (also known as directional boring) is one alternative to trenching when installing underground utilities. The main difference between directional <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/trenching-vs-boring.htm">boring versus trenching</a> is that boring doesn’t require digging or disturbing the surface. Instead, it involves creating holes or tunnels in the ground and then running utility lines through the openings. Boring is less invasive than trenching, but it’s also more expensive. </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 are the benefits of mudjacking?

• <div><p>Mudjacking restores level surfaces, prevents further damage, and is more cost-effective than a full replacement.</p></div>

Q: Is mudjacking or foam better?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/mudjacking-vs-polyjacking.htm">Polyjacking and mudjacking</a> can both be good solutions to sinking concrete, depending on your situation. Polyjacking, which uses expanding polyurethane foam to lift concrete, is a better option than mudjacking because the foam weighs less and won&rsquo;t contribute to additional sinking. Polyjacking can be a suitable solution for any sinking concrete slab, while mudjacking is normally only a good option for non-structural concrete, like sidewalks, patios, pool decks, and concrete driveways. However, polyjacking costs much more&mdash;as much as $25 per square foot, compared to the maximum of $6 per square foot you&rsquo;d pay for mudjacking.</p></div>

Q: Is there an alternative to underpinning?

• <div><p>There is no real alternative to underpinning, although mudjacking and polyjacking are other repair methods that can add support from underneath your foundation. Rather than placing supportive piers under your structure, these involve pumping a material under your slab to lift a sunken section back into its original position. Polyjacking, in particular, is sometimes a suitable solution for stabilization issues under slab foundations, but underpinning is often accepted as the best and most permanent solution.</p></div>
