"I called for an estimate in early March and they came out promptly.  The guy took some measurements told me what to expect and gave me an estimate.  The price seemed a little high but I have no idea what it costs to raise concrete or cost of materials for the company.  The thing that sold me on them was the fact that they use a concrete slurry instead of just mud (hence the term mudjacking).  The estimator explained that they don't do mudjacking because mud eventually breaks down and you get the same problem again.  If you google the term mudjacking and read reviews like I did you will see a lot of people complaining about the problem returning.  So I liked the fact that CRC used concrete slurry rather than just mud.  I thanked him and told him I would call them when I was ready (scraped together enough money).
    So I called them at end of April and sent in a deposit.  They scheduled me right away for the following week on Tuesday May 7th.  They called the day before and confirmed appointment for 8am the next day.  On Tuesday they arrived a little after 730a and started prepping their equipment.  Once they started drilling I could see what they were dealing with.  The slab was done poorly when it was originally poured.  It had varying thicknesses among the different holes which made me a little nervous on how successful they would be in getting the stairs heading down to the garage to come up with the slab.  The workers were nice guys, polite, but for the most part I left them alone to do what they had to do.  At one point, they rang the bell and asked me to come out and look at something.  When they had tried to drill through the top step heading down the garage it had cracked and split the whole step (tread and riser).  They tried a second hole and it split again.  The head guy explained to me that the original concrete on the stairs just wasn't strong enough to hold up to the stress of the drill (about a 2 inch bit) so that they were going to try their best to raise the stairs and drill every other step rather than 2 holes per step.  I agreed and they went to work.  About an hour later they were done.  The main slab came up great and filled the 3 inch void that was there prior.  The stairs on the other hand looked a little wonky.  For the most part they leveled out but that top step looked pretty bad with the cracks and it high on one side.  The head guy explained that they were sturdy and full of the slurry, but looking down on them, it looks like each step is going in a different direction level wise.  The crew cleaned up the mess pretty good but left some slurry blobs on the stairs and in the corners that I easily chipped away at and cleaned up myself a few days later.  My neighbor has an epoxy concrete finishing business and he's going to help me coat the surface of the slab and hide the patches from the drilling.  Overall a good experience, but I would have rated them a notch higher if those stairs came out better.  I know they can only do what they can do with someone else's poor work, but now I have to refinish that top step so it looks smooth.  Structurally the stairs are fine and I never use that entrance to my garage so not a big deal.

FAQs for concrete mudjacking projects in Canastota, NY

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.

Concrete repair costs range anywhere from about $0.10 to $0.15 per linear foot to fill minor cracks, to about $6 to $14 per square foot to replace damaged concrete slabs. Repair costs vary widely depending on the size and type of work needed. For example, replacing 100 square feet of driveway will cost between $600 to $1,400, on average.

The average cost of mudjacking is around $5 per square foot of concrete, with most concrete leveling jobs totaling between $3 and $8 per square foot. The typical cost to fix a sinking portion of concrete slab with mudjacking is around $1,100. The price you’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.

In most cases, no, mudjacking is not possible as a DIY job. Not only do you need specialized equipment to cut into your slab and pump the cementitious material underneath it, but it’s also a challenging process, and the consequences of making mistakes include additional structural damage to your home. It’s possible to rent mudjacking equipment to attempt a DIY repair, but the risk of added property damage usually isn’t worth the money you’ll save on labor, especially if the concrete you’re lifting is a part of your home’s foundation.

Concrete contractors typically charge anywhere from $6 to $14 per square foot. Cost factors include job size, site prep, base material, accessibility, your location, concrete finish, and concrete thickness. Removal of existing concrete, asphalt, deck, pavers, and grass will cost anywhere from $1 to $6 per square foot. Homeowners can often save money by removing and disposing of existing pavers, decks, and grass. Breaking up and hauling away concrete and asphalt is difficult and time-consuming without the proper equipment and may be worth having the pros do that work.
