What is an alternative to trenching?

• <div><p>Boring (also known as directional boring) is one alternative to trenching when installing underground utilities. The main difference between directional <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/trenching-vs-boring.htm">boring versus trenching</a> is that boring doesn’t require digging or disturbing the surface. Instead, it involves creating holes or tunnels in the ground and then running utility lines through the openings. Boring is less invasive than trenching, but it’s also more expensive. </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>

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: How long does it take for polyjacking to cure?

• <div><p>The polyurethane used for polyjacking will expand and cure in 15 to 30 minutes. After that point, your slab will be safe to walk on and even drive on in the case of a sidewalk or concrete driveway. Double-check with your concrete lifting specialist to confirm a curing timeline, as products can differ. </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...
