"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"
"System was installed on time as scheduled. Customer service was great, all questions or concerns were addressed. Would recommend the company to anyone with water leaking in basement."

"Thanks Carlos for completing the job. Concrete slab came out excellent and all the clean up and mulch is done very well. Thanks again. Will refer you to my friends as well. For any future projects will contact you. Thanks again"
"Joe and his team were a pleasure to work with. We had kind of an unusual project, but they jumped right in and handled it beautifully. The project was set back by problems on the supply end (not the fault of Brick Solutions, but rather of Lowe's, who sold us a broken window) and Joe took it in stride. He just moved us around in his schedule and everything worked. (We were able to be somewhat flexible, which helped.) When problems came up (again, with Lowe's), he returned text messages within minutes and gave me the confidence to move ahead in his absence. As the project progressed, we asked Joe to do other related tasks (like our steps and eaves), which he was happy to do at a very fair price. The only drawback was that Joe & Co. don't do any interior work, so we had to hire other contractors to finish this rather large project. Not a big deal, but we would've been perfectly happy to hire Brick Solutions to do everything!
"I had an old raggedy 2500 square foot house I needed tore down and the ground completely leveled and MGT Enterprise were life savers. When I called and asked for a quote they were there with bells on to give me my free estimate. I called several other excavation companies to get other quotes and opinions. MGT Enterprise was definitely not the cheapest estimate I received but it was well worth the price. The owner, Shaun, informed me the quote was a ball park estimate but the price for whatever reason would not go up. He then called several places for all the materials to be hauled to and from for the best prices and shortest distance to save me as much money as possible. My final price was almost $3000 less than the price I was quoted. WOW! When choosing who to hire I looked for quality not quantity and they were the best. Everyone had great personalities and attitudes, very punctual and just all around a great team. Their honesty and integrity was very important to me. I will most definitely be calling them again."
"It was a pleasure working with them. There service was sharp and on point. The installation of the holiday lighting was a joyful experience. The team of guys work very well and they were very polite. Would recommend them to anyone.
"We received 3 estimates on our scope of work. We chose We Do Concrete Cheap not only for the cost but because of Eric Parker, the owner. He's a no nonsense, tell it like it is, type of person who isn't out to scam you or make a fortune. He wants to do a good job and make you happy by not over charging you but by making a living as well. We had 28 yards of conrete poured in our back yard. For those that don't know, that's 3 1/2 cement truck loads. The crew got there, unloaded the equipment, unloaded the fill dirt, put up the forms, and had the pour ready within 1 day. They came the next day and worked all day into the evening to pour the 3 1/2 truck loads of cement. Eric has a lead man who oversees the job and he was knowledgeable and pleasant to work with. Our 11 year old son was allowed to work with the crew and boy what a crew! There were at least 5 to 7 people working in our yard at one time, getting the concrete poured, leveled, and brushed. After the concrete cured, the crew removed the forms and hauled off the debris. Eric came and took pictures and made sure we were happy with their work. This was the best money that we have spent on our home this year and the We Do Concrete Cheap crew was excellent to work with. Eric is also working with our insurance company on trying to settle a lightning strike that occured on 7/2/13 that put nine 2-3' holes throughout our extensive front driveway. Eric has emailed the insurance company, called the insurance company, and is going to meet with the structural engineer in regards to our claim. Talk about going above and beyond. All of this because he wants the job and knows that the only way we can re-pour our front driveway is if the insurance company pays for the lightning damage. Regardless of whether we can settle amicably with the insurance company or not, Eric and his team from We Do Concrete Cheap will be back at our home in the next 2 months to pour, stamp, and stain our front walkway. We cannot wait for the final results as they do fabulous work! "
"Mr Clay did a fantastic job at my new rental home with much needed trim work and refresh of mulch and rock trimmed areas. He was on time, polite, well spoken, courteous, and professional. He conducted himself in a very high quality way and represented gis business well. He made sure I was completely satisfied with his work before leaving and asked if I needed him to change anything or do anything else before packing up for the day. He did so well, I will have him come back to work on a fencing project I need done next month! Thanks Mr Clay!!"
"I call this young team the miracle workers. They came in and repainted our complete interior. It was beautiful, not a mismark anywhere. Would hire them again and again and would recommend them without fail to anyone who wants painting in their home."
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.
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.
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.
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.
Mudjacking can be an expensive foundation repair process, but in many cases, it’s well worth the investment. This is especially true if you’re lifting a portion of sunken foundation slab back into place. In that case, mudjacking can help avoid major structural damage and even home collapse by restoring the integrity of your structure with minimally invasive procedures. Mudjacking a concrete patio, walkway, or sidewalk can be worthwhile because it removes tripping hazards and makes your outdoor area more aesthetically appealing.
