"Pleased with the work. One disappointment was that they used my hose for the concrete and my broom for cleanup. They should have been more respectful of our property."
"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. "
"My project was concrete lifting. Shawn Hodgson was the repair technician along with another man. Both were very polite and answered our questions before starting the project. They arrived on time and did an amazing job on the repair. I would definitely recommend this company to others."

Concrete Mudjacking questions, answered by experts
Mudjacking restores level surfaces, prevents further damage, and is more cost-effective than a full replacement.
The average cost for mudjacking is around $1,200, though prices can range from $300 to $3,400. On a per-square-foot basis, you can expect to pay between $3 and $8, with an average of about $5 per square foot. The final cost depends on several factors, including the square footage of the concrete, the type of slab, its accessibility, whether it is load-bearing, and the type of material used to lift it. Generally, lifting a driveway, small patio, or sidewalk is less expensive than lifting a slab foundation or garage floor.
Costs range from $500 to $1,500, depending on the size and condition of the area.
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.
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.
