"Donald and Guiles came to complete a job at my home in Granby, MA in September 2026. They were extremely professional from start to finish. They arrived on time and took the time to thoroughly explain everything before beginning the project. Throughout the process, they kept me informed and made sure I understood what was happening every step of the way. They worked slowly, carefully, and thoughtfully to ensure the project was completed without causing any damage to my concrete slab. They also pitched my slab perfectly, which was very important to me. I truly appreciate the care, attention to detail, and professionalism they put into the entire job. I would highly recommend them!"
"Thrasher did an excellent job repairing our driveway. They leveled out the entire driveway with amazing precision, and they fixed all the gaps with an attractive sealant that blends beautifully with the concrete. All of the team members I interacted with were professional and polite. I am very pleased with the results and only wish I’d called them sooner."
"Our sump pump broke and the line froze, so they replaced it with a triple pump system with freeze guards that keep the water from freezing outside and blocking the line. The new sump pump system is so much nicer, bigger, and SO quiet. The electrician, Greg, went out of his way to find a circuit with one item on it and tied into that so we did not need any drywall ripped up...very nice. We have also been battling a basement leak for almost ten years. Jason came and identified the problem and the required fix, then went above and beyond to make sure that all the prep work was done properly and that we were satisfied with what was about to happen, he even came and helped the guys for a while! Mel and his team came, dug up the concrete, and laid a drainage system across one wall of the basement, and took it into the sump pump. At first, I was scared to death listening to all the jackhammering, but from the minute they walked in, the guys were so conscientious about doing everything right and without major upset to our house, it put me right at ease. They were very fast, and the finished product looks amazing, so professional and clean. The entire experience was unbelievable, they all were so helpful, pleasant, knowledgeable, professional. I would recommend Thrasher, hands down, to anyone with any type of basement issue!
Concrete Mudjacking questions, answered by experts
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 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.
Common issues with concrete that may require professional repair or resurfacing include cracks, spalling, uneven surfaces, and weather damage.
Mudjacking is usually reserved for light-duty slabs, like patios, driveways, and sidewalks. However, it can be an effective way to lift garage slabs and concrete around the perimeter of the home, which could harm your foundation if it’s not done properly. The risk of damage is why having a professional mudjacking company carry out the work is important. This type of slab or foundation repair is relatively inexpensive, especially if you consider that a DIY job requires that you pay to rent the necessary equipment.
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.
