Can mudjacking damage my foundation?

• <div><p>Mudjacking is usually reserved for light-duty slabs, like patios, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-concrete-driveway-cost.htm">driveways</a>, 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.</p></div>

Q: What is the best underpinning method?

• <div><p>Generally speaking, push piers&mdash;or steel piers&mdash;are the best option for underpinning, as they reach down to solid bedrock to find support for your foundation rather than relying on soil, which could be subject to the same issues as the soil directly below your foundation. However, the best underpinning method for your home depends on your location, how far down the bedrock is, and the type of soil in your area. Helical piers are usually the best option for sandy soil or in areas where the bedrock is too deep to use steel piers. </p></div>

Q: How much foundation sinking is too much?

• <div><p>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. </p></div>

Q: Can I do mudjacking myself?

• <div><p>DIY is not recommended due to the specialized equipment and expertise required. Professional services ensure accurate results.</p></div>

Q: Is mudjacking or foam better?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/mudjacking-vs-polyjacking.htm">Polyjacking and mudjacking</a> can both be good solutions to sinking concrete, depending on your situation. Polyjacking, which uses expanding polyurethane foam to lift concrete, is a better option than mudjacking because the foam weighs less and won&rsquo;t contribute to additional sinking. Polyjacking can be a suitable solution for any sinking concrete slab, while mudjacking is normally only a good option for non-structural concrete, like sidewalks, patios, pool decks, and concrete driveways. However, polyjacking costs much more&mdash;as much as $25 per square foot, compared to the maximum of $6 per square foot you&rsquo;d pay for mudjacking.</p></div>

The whole process was very smooth considering how many unexpected situations popped up. When I tore up the old tiles i damaged the underlying concrete so badly that Euro Painting had to put down a self leveling cement to make the process possible. I was offered the choice of doing this myself or...

I was happy with them because Chris offered some suggestions to make the yard work better for me. But the options are not probably the best for my needs. The gravel and mulch areas are great and the drip system seem to be working just fine but the mulch may not be a good choice for my dogs since...
