"Quicker than I thought, sturdy equipment. Seven jacks, seven concrete disks, a pallet load of gravel, 3 4x4 beams. I do believe is was done right. My floors are level, that's what I wanted. No more bounce."
"I picked All-Dry of the Carolinas because of the way I was made to feel by everyone in this company from the person handling the first inquiry response through the follow-up service technician. I was afraid that I would fall into a scam and I am so glad that I picked All-Dry to provide a solution to my problem. These folks handle a quality system that is priced fairly, for sure, but their people are there most valuable asset. I kinda felt like I was part of the All-Dry family. All of my questions were answered promptly. When I checked out the materials and systems to be used, I was impressed with that they had cut no corners. The installation crew was impressive. This is mean work crawling around under a house for 3 days. These guys showed up on time, never left the site, were friendly and courteous and it was apparent very quickly that their work was first class. The work at the most remote corner with only 12 inches of clearance was as well done as the more accessible areas. They did much more than lay down plastic and plop down a dehumidifier - they had to lay a foundation , install a concrete sill wall and install a wall to isolate the crawl space from the porch areas. All of this work was first class. The dehumidifier unit is best in class and is silent. I cannot hear any noise in my living room directly above the operating unit. They guys even recommended Rh monitoring instruments that I can use to feel good that the system delivers the expected results. In fact the warranty and guarantee is written around hard specifications on deliverables. When there is so much mediocrity around, I wanted to go the extra mile to reward this company with positive comments - ones they correctly deserve! "
"Review by Iris F. in Camden, SC Project: Repair a Concrete Foundation I had a unique problem with termite damage to an old Pier and Beam home. Damage was causing floor sagging and instability in the foundation of the home. (It failed several inspections). I was trying to sell the home and had to have the problem fixed. I had several estimates from general contractors in the Camden area. ALL of them wanted to fix the problem by going through the interior floors to get to the support beams. I did an online request to have an estimate from Canty Foundation. From the initial contact with William Yarbrough/Sales to the Onsite foreman Jonathan Driggers I was impressed. This is a 100 year old home and going thru the inside floors would have created damage that would have been difficult to fix. CANTY did all the work from the crawl space. They were professional and work was completed on time. The home passed all 3 inspections and I completed the sale. When you have a foundation problem I learned to call the experts. AMAZING job guys!!!!!"
"They didn't end up doing the work. They were really high on what they wanted to do. Other people who looked at the porch said that it was not causing an issue with any water intrusion and that there doesn't seem to be any signs on the posts that this could have been recent, it could have been long ago. So no work was done. It was a front porch that had just the level concrete on one side was dipping just a little bit. I think they were going to pump it up from underneath or something like that to level it out. I would say that their response time and their professionalism of getting the quote to us on a timely manner was good. The quote was high and yet the work was not necessary according to other quotes. They should be honest to say when repairs are necessary and when they are not. The guy who showed up was nice and professional and was on time. There was a decent response time."
"Excellent! Mr. Ramsey arrived with his crew as promised, removed the old driveway and leveled the grade. He then set in the forms and made sure that I was happy with the design, which was much better than the straight lined boxy driveway I had. He pushed the new concrete pad further back, added some curves, and then really pulled it together with the sidewalk! Everyone who came by raved at how beautiful the job turned out, and how much it improved the curb appeal of my home!"
"The crew that came to my home worked for three days in my crawl space repairing support beams and pouring new concrete piers. They worked efficiently, they were professional, and knowledgeable, and I really can not complain about anything. They also took before and after pictures of my crawl space."

Concrete Mudjacking questions, answered by experts
On average, a mudjacking repair lasts between five and 10 years, though it can sometimes last for well beyond a decade under ideal conditions. Its longevity depends heavily on several factors, including the condition of the underlying soil, environmental conditions like freeze/thaw cycles and erosion, and whether the root cause of the sinking, such as drainage issues, is resolved. Because it doesn't always fix the underlying problem of loose soil, mudjacking is often considered a temporary solution. Proper maintenance and evaluation can help extend its lifespan.
The timeframe is generally a few hours, allowing for immediate use post-hydration, ensuring minimal disruption to surrounding activities.
It’s best not to perform mudjacking in the winter unless the ground temperature remains above freezing. Freezing temperatures can cause the slurry to harden too quickly, compromising its strength and longevity. Concrete is also more susceptible to cracking and splitting in cold temperatures, so there’s a higher risk of damaging the slab during the drilling and lifting process in winter.
Mudjacking typically takes 24 to 72 hours (one to three days) to dry and cure completely before you can resume normal use. The total drying time can vary depending on the size of the project. Because the slurry mixture contains cement, it needs to harden fully to prevent the concrete slab from shifting under added weight. You should avoid walking on the concrete or placing heavy items like furniture or vehicles on the surface until it has fully set. Your concrete contractor can provide a precise timeline. As a point of comparison, if you opt for polyjacking, the polyurethane foam can dry in minutes, but it's recommended to wait about an hour before use.
A sinking foundation can be lifted, most often by installing piers to re-level and support the weight of the house. Depending on the cause and extent of the sinking, other methods to lift a foundation include underpinning and mudjacking. Consult a foundation repair pro to determine the best way to lift your sinking foundation.
