"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"

"Based on Angi?s list recommendation, I contracted Anthony for a new concrete garage foundation and driveway. He and his crew did an outstanding job of clearing trees, leveling land, and setting forms for the footer and slab, etc. He asked for extra funds for unusual circumstances on my land, which I gave him, trusting it would expedite the process. It didn?t. It rained for two months. Then Anthony said he needed surgery, and that he was getting out of the concrete business, but he would take care of me first. He never called me after that, and when I called about his surgery recovery progress, he still insisted he was going to finish my job. It was nine months after the contract date that I gave up on him. When I contacted him about refunding the extra funds, he said he would settle up with me. I have turned his debt over to God and hired someone else to finish the job. Anthony is good at what he does."
"A perfect job done by Jose and the team at D&G. They were the 4th contractor that I had called and each of the previous contractors couldn't give me a day, much less a time, to come out for an estimate, just that they would call when they had time to come out. I called D&G at 4pm and Jose was at my house before 8am the next day. The quote was spot on to what I expected, perhaps even a bit less, considering they were so accommodating on the schedule. I called the others and told them not to bother coming out. They had a crew of 4 of the hardest working guys I've seen come out on the first day to tear out an existing concrete pad and prepare the ground and forms for the concrete. The next day, the truck was here before 8am and they were done and cleaned up and on the way home mid-afternoon, after pouring and shaping a 12x36 pad. I could not be happier with the service these folks offered and recommend them fully. I know that the next time I need concrete work done, I won't bother with anyone else."
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.
Mudjacking is suitable for sidewalks, driveways, patios, and nearly all exterior flat structures. However, it may not suit severely damaged or heavily cracked areas.
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.
Many contractors offer warranties for their work. Confirm terms before starting the project.
