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 does the concrete injection leveling/mudjacking process involve?

• <div><p>The method involves lifting settled concrete using pressurized cement slurry via drilled holes. This solves uneven surfaces and prevents further settling.</p></div>

Q: Do concrete mudjacking companies need to be licensed?

• <div><p>Most states and municipalities don&rsquo;t require concrete mudjacking companies to carry a specific license, but they usually need to have a general contractor&rsquo;s license, and they should be fully insured. The only exception is if the mudjacking company provides foundation repairs as well, or if it offers mudjacking for home foundations. In that case, they will typically need a foundation repair contractor&rsquo;s license. You can check state requirements and then use Angi&rsquo;s <a href="https://www.angi.com/angi-license-check.htm">license lookup tool</a> to confirm that a company is properly licensed to provide mudjacking services in your area.</p></div>

Q: What materials are used in mudjacking?

• <div><p>A slurry of cement, sand, and water is injected beneath the concrete to lift and stabilize it.</p></div>

Q: How long does mudjacking take to dry?

• <div><p>Mudjacking normally takes between one to three days to dry completely. The larger the project area, the more time it will take to dry. You should not walk on the concrete or place furniture or vehicles on the lifted concrete until it&rsquo;s completely cured, which a pro can help determine. If you&rsquo;re polyjacking instead, the polyurethane foam can take just a few minutes to dry, but wait an hour to be sure.</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...

After 6 months the concrete began to leech a white chalky substance out of the top of the concrete in certain places and essentially discolored our colored concrete. Imagine brown concrete with white streaks and spots all over it. It looks like it has a disease. It also began to spald in these...
