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 mudjacking be done in winter?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s best not to perform mudjacking in the winter unless the ground temperature remains above freezing. Freezing temperatures can cause the slurry to harden too quickly, compromising its strength and longevity. Concrete is also more susceptible to cracking and splitting in cold temperatures, so there&rsquo;s a higher risk of damaging the slab during the drilling and lifting process in winter. </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: 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: 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>

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...
