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 much foundation sinking is too much?

• <div><p>Most houses are expected to settle over time, but foundation sinking of more than a few inches or uneven sinking of more than an inch for every 20 feet is cause for concern. Any significant or uneven sinking should be assessed by a professional to determine the cause and perform any necessary repairs. </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: 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 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...
