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: 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: What’s the most affordable way to level a concrete floor?

• <div><p>Mudjacking is your best bet for leveling concrete on a tighter budget. It&rsquo;s less expensive than foam or grout mixture. For smaller, surface-level issues, you could also use a self-leveling compound, which creates an even surface over existing concrete&mdash;it&rsquo;s a budget-friendly option suitable for DIY enthusiasts. </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>

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...
