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>

Q: How do you level a sunken concrete patio?

• <div><p>Pros often use mudjacking or polyurethane foam injection to level a sunken concrete patio. Both methods lift the slab by filling voids beneath it. After properly compacting the soil beneath it to prevent future settling, the concrete may need to be removed and re-poured for severe sinking. </p></div>

Q: How long does mudjacking last?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-mudjacking-lasts.htm">Mudjacking should last</a> for five to 10 years, so it&rsquo;s considered a temporary solution to sinking concrete. However, there are some cases where mudjacking fails before this time period, like if you have loose soil below the concrete or a karst landscape is to blame for the sinking concrete. Some mudjacking projects can last for well beyond a decade, depending on the underlying issue.</p></div>

Q: Is there an alternative to underpinning?

• <div><p>There is no real alternative to underpinning, although mudjacking and polyjacking are other repair methods that can add support from underneath your foundation. Rather than placing supportive piers under your structure, these involve pumping a material under your slab to lift a sunken section back into its original position. Polyjacking, in particular, is sometimes a suitable solution for stabilization issues under slab foundations, but underpinning is often accepted as the best and most permanent solution.</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>

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...
