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>

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: 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&rsquo;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&mdash;as much as $25 per square foot, compared to the maximum of $6 per square foot you&rsquo;d pay for mudjacking.</p></div>

Q: How do I maintain leveled concrete?

• <div><p>Address drainage issues, avoid heavy loads, and seal cracks to prevent future settling.</p></div>

Q: Is there an alternative to underpinning?

• <div><p>There is no real alternative to underpinning, although mudjacking and polyjacking are other repair methods that can add support from underneath your foundation. Rather than placing supportive piers under your structure, these involve pumping a material under your slab to lift a sunken section back into its original position. Polyjacking, in particular, is sometimes a suitable solution for stabilization issues under slab foundations, but underpinning is often accepted as the best and most permanent solution.</p></div>

Two guys came (called first) and cleaned the basement. Really smelled bad for a few hours. Painted the concrete walls. Second day they painted the floor. They removed garbage too. Very nice job!
