"Great experience with a very professional crew. The work of fixing my front sidewalk and driveway was completed quickly, on time, and looks great now! Thanks to Jackie and Ryan, who did the repair work. They were friendly, efficient, and quickly completed all the work needing to be done. They answered all my questions. I would go to Baird Foundation Repair without hesitation for any future foundation or concrete work, if the need develops. I'll be recommending Baird to all of my neighbors and friends. Oh, and the cost of the work being done actually came in a little under what I was expecting, which was a very nice surprise!"

"Robert and Glenn talk very fast and both mumble, so it is difficult to understand them. Each conversation has to be repeated so we can understand clearly what was to happen.
Previous foundation work by LevelCheck in 2002 paid $8,450.00 (22 piers outside) (7 interior piers) some piers were placed on concrete blocks; no i-beams were place which did not insure the integrity of the foundation. Since we've had severe movement inside and outside, cracks on ceilings, walls, window movement/broken, windows open with difficulty, as did doors, some doors did not latch and were crooked in the frame and there are cracks in the new siding, ?Hardiplank,? outside. (The previous company "LevelCheck" gave us a "Lifetime Guarantee" BUT ARE NO LONGER IN BUSINESS . Make sure whomever you choose to do your foundation, they have a good reputation and have been in business for a LONG TIME, AND SOLUBLE!!) VERY, VERY EXPENSIVE LESSON!!
The total cost was approximately $37,000.00. BUT the first contract was $18,000, required a $10,000 immediate payment with a $4,000.00 check when piers are ?ready? and another $4,000.00 after the ?flowable fill material? (slurry concrete) is poured. (Giving a 10% discount off original quote before the $18,000) The 2nd contract required a $10,000 so already paid $20,000 and only into 5 hours of work. Another payment due on the 21st when they found more plumbing problems under both bathrooms. Of course, another payment was asked for when the plumber came. Glen ultimately wanted the final paymentbefore the work was completed. We had never worked with a contractor before that wanted payment before the work was done. Really poor business practice. We were having work done through the week before Thanksgiving and several of the workers left town and went to Mexico. Work continued, but only with a couple workers.
I could never get a clear answer on whether they were going to go through the garage to access the load bearing wall. I asked several times. The foreman decided to dig from the back of the house and the midline over to that wall (then Glen told us he hadn't charged us for 6 feet of tunnel, which was included in the first contract.) How can we tell, other than what we see and hear? We certainly weren't going to crawl in the tunnels ourselves. In my opinion, that was a miscue between the boss and the foreman.
They worked through Nov. and part of Dec before they started to level the house. When they started working on the wall between the dining room and the kitchen, the wall went right through the ceiling a couple inches. The front door is still out of square, as are the front windows. They are still extremely hard to close. When I told Robert the floor was still not level he said, "I told you I couldn't promise everything would be level," Well, what is the point of paying to have the work done??
They were supposed to check the existing piers and shore them up, but when I continued to ask if they would lower the east wall, they said they had not found the previous piers. Whenever we would point out to Glen that we had already had a tunnel dug under the house before, or pipes repaired, or already had piers placed, he always had an excuse for why he "needed" more money. He had to have money to pay the plumber beforehand; he had to have money to pay for 2 cement trucks of slurry beforehand, he had to have money to pay his people; had to have money because he was going to Austin. Really? Just poor business!
After Christmas, they sent a couple men to backfill. They were supposed to place pvc pipe under the house to allow the slurry to be pumped under the house, They backfilled a 14 foot tunnel with no pvc and another 10 foot tunnel on the other side of the house without putting a pvc. They had had to stop work because of the rain. The next day when we noticed the tunnels filled and asked about the pipe they dug a little way on one side of the house and placed a pipe. It certainly was not as far into the tunnel as it had been dug. Then on the 14 ft tunnel no pvc. When they came to pump the cement truck hardly used all slurry, and certainly not 2 trucks filled for which we paid. When Mark asked Glen about it, he said he had given us other discounts. That wasn't the point; our concern is what about the 1 foot gap between the cement and foundation that didn't get slurry pumped up under the foundation?? I am sure within a short time we will have the dirt compacted and another gap between the foundation and the ground. Then we will have to pay another foundation company to level our house again.

Concrete Mudjacking questions, answered by experts
Mudjacking is your best bet for leveling concrete on a tighter budget. It’s less expensive than foam or grout mixture. For smaller, surface-level issues, you could also use a self-leveling compound, which creates an even surface over existing concrete—it’s a budget-friendly option suitable for DIY enthusiasts.
Charges correlate with surface size, settlement depth, and access, often yielding significant savings over concrete 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.
Concrete leveling is absolutely worth it if you have sunken concrete slabs and want to restore them to level, especially if the slab is part of your home foundation. Concrete leveling is less than half the price of replacing concrete sidewalks, patios, walkways, and pool decks, and it’s about a quarter of the cost of replacing a foundation. If you also treat the underlying problem, it can be a worthwhile and permanent solution.
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.
