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: 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: Can you mudjack cracked concrete?

• <div><p>Yes, you can mudjack cracked concrete, but the cracks will need to be repaired once the concrete has been leveled. If the concrete is severely cracked in multiple places, replacement may be a better option, but for less severe cracking, mudjacking is a good solution as long as cracks are correctly caulked and sealed.</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: How long does polyjacking last?

• <div><p>Polyjacking can be a permanent solution to sunken concrete if you also address the underlying issue&mdash;like poor drainage&mdash;at the same time. The polyurethane material itself can last as long as or even outlast the concrete you&rsquo;re lifting it with. Your sunken concrete issue will likely return if you don&rsquo;t couple polyjacking with proper drainage to prevent future soil movement and sinking. </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...
