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>

Q: What is a good slump height?

• <div><p>A good slump height really depends on the project, but there is a use for nearly all slump levels. For example, low slumps are best in projects that require structure, such as curbs and roads. High slumps often require additional reinforcement, but they flow more freely into hard-to-reach spaces. </p></div>

Q: How long does mudjacking take to dry?

• <div><p>Mudjacking normally takes between one to three days to dry completely. The larger the project area, the more time it will take to dry. You should not walk on the concrete or place furniture or vehicles on the lifted concrete until it&rsquo;s completely cured, which a pro can help determine. If you&rsquo;re polyjacking instead, the polyurethane foam can take just a few minutes to dry, but wait an hour to be sure.</p></div>

Q: 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&rsquo;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&rsquo;re free to use your concrete surfaces again after mudjacking.</p></div>

Q: Is concrete leveling covered by insurance?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;ll pay out-of-pocket for concrete leveling.</p></div>

I highly recommend Mitchell Masonry. Brent is very knowledgeable and does excellent work. Had new flashing installed as well as tuck pointing on my chimney. The concrete crown he installed on the chimney is a huge improvement over the original and looks great.

I hired Joe after he helped do a major concrete job on our new build. I couldnâ t find anyone to add a porch to the front of our house and it was complicated. He took it head on and he did an amazing job. I showed him some photos and drawings and his work was beyond my expectations. I have been...

Beware of this contractor, do your homework. Steve is a personable guy and comes across very friendly but doesn't listen, cuts corners, and will defer you to his attorney if you have problems with his work. Our property is now de-valued because he was there. - Water lines all over the building...

It went very well. They masked off the garage walls and concrete sidewalks to prevent over-spray. They put up a barrier to keep vehicles off the driveway. This is a family operated business and I have dealt with them in the past. They are very professional and extremely honest to deal with. ...
