Can I do my own concrete mudjacking?

• <div><p>It’s possible to rent the equipment necessary to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/diy-mudjacking.htm">do your own mudjacking</a>, but we don’t recommend it. Mudjacking involves pumping a precise amount of cementitious slurry under your slab to lift it back into place and keep it there. It’s easy to pump too much or not enough, in which case you may need to call in a professional to help anyway. We strongly recommend against mudjacking any load-bearing slab, as you could easily cause irreversible structural damage to your property if you make a mistake. This is one job where paying for a professional is worthwhile.</p></div>

Does expanding foam lift concrete?

• <div><p>Yes, expanding foam (also known as polyurethane foam) can lift concrete. This approach, called polyjacking, involves injecting the foam rather than concrete slurry to fill voids and raise the concrete slab back into place. It’s often faster and requires smaller drill holes than traditional mudjacking, though it may come at a higher cost. Some contractors also prefer <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/mudjacking-vs-polyjacking.htm">polyjacking over mudjacking</a> for more damaged and delicate slabs.</p></div>

Q: Is mudjacking worth it?

• <div><p>Mudjacking can be an expensive foundation repair process, but in many cases, it&rsquo;s well worth the investment. This is especially true if you&rsquo;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.</p></div>

Q: How long do you have to stay off concrete after mudjacking?

• <div><p>Mudjacking can take <b>24 to 72 hours</b> to cure enough to resume normal use. Because the slurry mixture contains cement, it needs to fully harden to ensure that added weight won&rsquo;t shift the concrete slab before it has completely set. Your <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/concrete-mudjacking/">concrete contractor</a> will be able to tell you when you&rsquo;re free to use your concrete surfaces again after mudjacking.</p></div>

Q: How much does mudjacking cost?

• <div><p>The average <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-mudjacking-cost.htm">cost of mudjacking</a> is around <b>$5</b> <b>per square foot</b> of concrete, with most concrete leveling jobs totaling between <b>$3 and $8</b> <b>per square foot</b>. The typical cost to fix a sinking portion of concrete slab with mudjacking is around <b>$1,100</b>. The price you&rsquo;ll pay depends on the size of the concrete slab you need to be leveled, the accessibility of the slab, and the type of material your contractor uses beneath the concrete to lift it back into place.</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...
