Is mudjacking or foam better?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/mudjacking-vs-polyjacking.htm">Polyjacking and mudjacking</a> can both be good solutions to sinking concrete, depending on your situation. Polyjacking, which uses expanding polyurethane foam to lift concrete, is a better option than mudjacking because the foam weighs less and won’t contribute to additional sinking. Polyjacking can be a suitable solution for any sinking concrete slab, while mudjacking is normally only a good option for non-structural concrete, like sidewalks, patios, pool decks, and concrete driveways. However, polyjacking costs much more—as much as $25 per square foot, compared to the maximum of $6 per square foot you’d pay for mudjacking.</p></div>

Is mudjacking worth it?

• <div><p>Mudjacking can be an expensive foundation repair process, but in many cases, it’s well worth the investment. This is especially true if you’re lifting a portion of sunken foundation slab back into place. In that case, mudjacking can help avoid major structural damage and even home collapse by restoring the integrity of your structure with minimally invasive procedures. Mudjacking a concrete patio, walkway, or sidewalk can be worthwhile because it removes tripping hazards and makes your outdoor area more aesthetically appealing.</p></div>

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’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’re free to use your concrete surfaces again after mudjacking.</p></div>

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>

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>

"Giovanni and his team removed the paint from my three house chimneys I had asked him to paint over the white and he thought I would be happier to have the chimney's restored to the origingal brick boy was he correct. While up on the roof he cleared it of moss and dirt, cleaned and repainted my 6 dormers. . His price was lower than other quotes I got. I got a fixed price for the project yet when he did somethings he thought needed to be done - like power wash my garage doors and side he didn't ask for more money. Giovanni doesn't speak English however his assistant Arlette was in constant contact with me translating and orchestrating conversations between us. She texted me when the guys would come and leave. For my barn roof painting project Giovanni pointed out that I had to shore it up. He was correct. I feared the worst. But he reinforced beams and made the entire barn secure by installing steel beams I had between three of the support beams. The price to do this was VERY reasonable. Most contractors overdo projects then charge for it. The photo is of the back of my barn which had a rotting overhang. He saved the gutter (most would had wanted to replace it) ripped down the useless overhang, installed metal sheeting along the face and reinstalled the gutter."

"This individual came and quoted the job to level the floor in half of our basement so we could put floor down in August 2022. He said it would be done in 3 days. Subsequent occurrences: - Got COVID and started the job late. Understandable - Only poured half of the materials when self-leveling so the floor wasn't level. - He unevenly mixed sand in the concrete in certain parts, which caused holes in the concrete when we had to grind it down. - When he poured the rest, it made several parts of our floor too high, to the point where we wouldn't be able to open our back door if we installed the tile. - Came back several times to try to correct the floor but couldn't get it flat because so much grinding needed to be done. - We made the mistake of paying him in full after he came back for the 10th time, in good faith, so he could take his family on vacation... (our mistake) - Damaged the walls in the basement... - Got COVID a second time? a month or two after he had COVID last time... - Kept saying he would show up to fix the floor then wouldn't show up for weeks at a time. - After taking 2-3 months to finally stop showing up, the floor was NOT level, he still hadn't finished the job... and wasn't communicating with us about when he was going to come back. We had to then grind the $500 in materials we purchased into dust and remove it in trash bags, taking up several weeks of trash collection to fully dispose of the excess concrete that was poured. - My husband ended up finishing the job himself between December 2022 and February 2023.... and emailed M&R to let him know. He emailed us yesterday, July 27, 2023, (11 months after he quoted the job and 8 months after he stopped showing up) to say he wanted to come over and finish the job.... with the email title "stupid."... said he wants to "square this up for you and my own sanity" with a "Kind Regards" at the end."
