"We were very pleased with the job that Sam and Mike did on raising and stabilizing our pool pump house. Very professional and easy to talk with when voicing any concerns we had about the process. Having had such a good experience, we would most likely contact Adirondack Basement Systems if we have any further issues with sinking concrete. We rate them a 5+ for service and professionalism."
"The crew arrived on the planned date and worked diligently. They were knowledgeable about the issues of an old house and knew exactly what they were doing. They had to carry out the debris (concrete and dirt), and bring in the material and equipment by hand. They were careful to partition off the part of the basement where they worked and keep dust and dirt from going out of the work area. The crew did a great job in making sure the work sites were cleaned up and everything was done right. A truck had to come back 2 days later to finish up the river rock in the outside trench, as they had run out of material. The yard, considering how difficult it was to dig the trench away from the house, was in very good shape. There were tree roots ans shale that made things difficult and required a jackhammer at times. It was a difficult and messy job that they did wonderfully, inside and outside. I have been very pleased with the work and there has been no problems with water or excessive dampness in the basement."
"We cannot say enough good about Dylan, Seth and Tim. 3 very hard workers. Lifting heavy heavy loads of concrete and stone up my and down my cellar and porch steps. They never stopped for breaks. Great workers. Respectful and pleasant and knew their job requirements. Very careful with doors, floors etc It?s a messy job. ThankYou"

"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. "

Concrete Mudjacking questions, answered by experts
Generally speaking, push piers—or steel piers—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.
Concrete leveling is not typically covered by insurance. In some cases where the shifting concrete is caused by a natural disaster or storm, you may be able to file an insurance claim if your policy specifically covers those circumstances. In most cases, though, you’ll pay out-of-pocket for concrete leveling.
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.
Trenching and boring are two distinct methods for installing underground utilities. Trenching involves digging a channel using equipment like an excavator, trencher, backhoe, or shovel. While it is a simpler process, it causes significant disruption to the surface, landscaping, and surrounding ecosystems.
Boring, also known as directional boring, is a less invasive alternative that uses a drill to create a tunnel for utility lines without disturbing the surface. This method is more precise and is ideal for installations that need to go underneath buildings, roads, or bodies of water. Although boring is less disruptive, it is generally more expensive than trenching.
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.
