"Goliath Wendell and Daniel Carter were very open and honest regarding the potential issues of trying to refloat the slab to level it out. They pointed out the problem could actually get worse and there probably was not any void areas under the concrete to fill with polymer. They also pointed out the existing cracks would likely widen and openup an elevation gap between two slabs. I really appreciate their advice"

"Work done involved removing an old asphalt driveway that was cracked and bulging upwards from large tree roots, removing these tree roots, and installing a new concrete replacement driveway. Owner and contractor, Ezequiel Tejeda, provided a written contract and a very reasonable charge for these services. Despite several unforseen and some personal setbacks (truck breakdown, a LOT MORE TREE ROOTS than expected, flat tire, concrete supplier arriving 3 hrs. late), Mr. Tejeda kept the work moving forward to ensure that the buyer would have a driveway completely installed by the verbally agreed upon completion timeline. Mr. Tejeda, his righthand man, Rene, were true professional craftsmen who obviously took pride in providing the client with a top quality finished product that met or exceeded expectations. Mr. Tejeda explained each step of the process as work progressed, the products being used, and why those products had been chosen. The client's approval was sought before proceeding. All workers put in extended hours each day to get the job done in a timely manner, worked hard, and kept the work area and surrounding yard and neighborhood clean and free of trash. Overall a positive experience with an honest, reliable, hardworking contractor and a crew of top quality professional craftsmen. Would hire again. Recommended to others."
"SPECTACULAR!!!! I am so happy and my husband is too. We were nervous after talking to so many contractors but we felt that Ray Hubbard and Legacy Building and Design, Inc was our best choice. When we first met and he was on-time and could answer questions immediately about what we wanted when other contractors said they would have to get back to us. He didn't tell us what we wanted to hear, but really told us the things we needed to hear. Where do you find that these days? We decided to go with Ray and his team! Now we are at the very end of this project and our punch list has only 4 things. As complicated as this was we only had 4 issues! We are picky people and my husband has OCD. Ray and his team worked with us every step of the way and kept us up to date and informed. Ray gave us one price at the start of this project, and we admit it was a bit high, but you we felt you get what you pay for---and honestly we had been told by references that we were getting the best contractor in this area. Turns out his family has been building and remodeling for nearly a hundred years. It made us feel like we were getting a real pro. Turns out we avoided horror stories involving some contractors---and we felt like we hired the best. We really appreciate all the time they took with us before and even after the sale. If there is any negative factor I would have to say that we were disappointed that the concrete truck broke a piece of our driveway, We paid tons for our new driveway. The good news-----we told Ray and he immediately replaced the broken section. We have a few other projects in the future and have found the Contractor we will use again and again. We highly recommend these guys!!! Well worth the money spent."

Concrete Mudjacking questions, answered by experts
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.
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.
A slurry of cement, sand, and water is injected beneath the concrete to lift and stabilize it.
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.
Most houses are expected to settle over time, but foundation sinking of more than a few inches or uneven sinking of more than an inch for every 20 feet is cause for concern. Any significant or uneven sinking should be assessed by a professional to determine the cause and perform any necessary repairs.
