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 is the best underpinning method?

• <div><p>Generally speaking, push piers&mdash;or steel piers&mdash;are the best option for underpinning, as they reach down to solid bedrock to find support for your foundation rather than relying on soil, which could be subject to the same issues as the soil directly below your foundation. However, the best underpinning method for your home depends on your location, how far down the bedrock is, and the type of soil in your area. Helical piers are usually the best option for sandy soil or in areas where the bedrock is too deep to use steel piers. </p></div>

Q: Can mudjacking be used for all types of concrete floors or surfaces?

• <div><p>Mudjacking is suitable for sidewalks, driveways, patios, and nearly all exterior flat structures. However, it may not suit severely damaged or heavily cracked areas.</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>

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>

Top notch people. From the customer service in the office support team to the people in the field... CLASS ACT! I would absolutely refer any of my friends or family to Wagner Mechanical. I think the loyalty program is perfect for anyone interested in maintaining their home.

Loysel and his crew did an excellent job for a very fair price. He showed up when he said and completed the work in a timely manner. They actually did an exposed concrete patio. I would recommend them and would hire them again.
