"Brent explained how the leveling process worked, which was much more involved than I thought. He advised me as to how leveling slab-A might affect slab-B, so we could decide exactly how to approach the job. As the work progressed, he leveled a couple other slabs free of charge, for a better result. He ran into a problem with a small slab under a step, but took his time, and did the best he could. He, and his partner, were professional and courteous, taking time to assess how each slab might affect the next one. They cleaned up the mess very well before they left, and never gave me the impression that they were only concerned about how quickly they could finish and leave. They're pricing was much better than two other quotes, and their salesman seemed more willing to help me decide which slabs to level without running up the cost. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again. "
"Good alternative to replacing concrete. CLI Concrete Leveling out of Ypsilanti was the first to respond with an estimate for driveway repair at my home. I live in Kalamazoo. They are now going to do some work at my office and also do a neighborâ s driveway."
"So far no more leaks into lower level workers very polite told me every thing step by step that was being done very happy with the work that was done to me price was a little high for 4 hours work"
"Alex and his crew used spray insulation foam in the upper level and blew in, injection foam on the main level. I had read a very negative review when I was researching this company but there was only one and all the other reviews were positive. I decided one negative review would not stop me from trying this company. I am very happy I went with Building Performance Solutions!! Alex was wonderful to work with. He accommodated my schedule and my schedule changes. His team was very professional and efficient. I can already feel the difference in the home. We have had some very hot day's and the home is much cooler than it was before the insulation was installed."

"We were very impressed with the work done at our home. We had three separate areas leveled (The two driveway areas previously had water pooling near the foundation of the garage and home every time it rained. The A/C unit was not leveled when we moved in this past winter). The gentleman who came out to do our quote was professional and understanding in practicing social distancing with the Covid situation. When the two gentlemen came out to perform the work they were prompt, on time and overall did an outstanding job. We couldn’t be happier with the results as it’s rained for the past 3 days and ZERO water pooling! I would 100% recommend this company."
"They were very good, and were the most affordable. Tony was very knowledgeable, and did a very nice job sealing it because they also had to seal the concrete against my brick wall, and actually did it beveled so it'd look nice."
A sinking foundation can be lifted, most often by installing piers to re-level and support the weight of the house. Depending on the cause and extent of the sinking, other methods to lift a foundation include underpinning and mudjacking. Consult a foundation repair pro to determine the best way to lift your sinking foundation.
It’s best not to perform mudjacking in the winter unless the ground temperature remains above freezing. Freezing temperatures can cause the slurry to harden too quickly, compromising its strength and longevity. Concrete is also more susceptible to cracking and splitting in cold temperatures, so there’s a higher risk of damaging the slab during the drilling and lifting process in winter.
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.
Polyjacking and mudjacking can both be effective solutions for sinking concrete, but they have key differences. Polyjacking, which uses expanding polyurethane foam, is often considered a better option because the foam is significantly lighter than the cementitious material used for mudjacking. This reduced weight puts less pressure on the underlying soil and lowers the risk of future sinking. Polyjacking is suitable for any sinking concrete slab, while mudjacking is typically only recommended for non-structural concrete, such as sidewalks, patios, pool decks, and driveways. The primary drawback of polyjacking is its cost, which can be up to four times higher than mudjacking—as much as $25 per square foot compared to a maximum of about $6 per square foot for mudjacking.
Mudjacking typically takes 24 to 72 hours (one to three days) to dry and cure completely before you can resume normal use. The total drying time can vary depending on the size of the project. Because the slurry mixture contains cement, it needs to harden fully to prevent the concrete slab from shifting under added weight. You should avoid walking on the concrete or placing heavy items like furniture or vehicles on the surface until it has fully set. Your concrete contractor can provide a precise timeline. As a point of comparison, if you opt for polyjacking, the polyurethane foam can dry in minutes, but it's recommended to wait about an hour before use.
