"Probably due to the sever draught during the summer of 2011 we started having cracks in drywall, sticking doors and windows and other problems related to settling of the foundation. We got five bids from companies listed on Angie's List. None of the bids estimated the same work deemed necessary to fix problem and prices were all across the board. The first person you meet is the "estimator" who assesses the damage and provides a bid. He/she is also a sales person. You will frequently hear from him/her, to try encourage you to use his company, until you make a decision. You probably won't see him/her again if you agree to their proposal. We chose this company (their bid was not the highest or the lowest) because their work estimate seemed reasonable based on what we could see. Our repair included tunneling under the foundation to install three piers under the outer wall and four piers across the back, three of which meant cutting holes in our concrete patio. The company may show you sample pictures of their work showing very small, neat and almost invisable concrete repairs but don't believe it. Their payment terms were half down and the other half on completion. The work contract (if you have this work done, read the contract carefully. The company won't be responsible for any damage to electrical, mechanical or plumbing damage related to their performance. This contractor provided a plumbing company (A&A Plumbing) to perform a pre and post static test of under foundation drains. The work crew (work took three and one-half days and there were 4-5 people there at all times) showed up on time on the scheduled day and every day that they worked on the property. This is labor-intensive work and everyone was industrious and knowledgeable. These guys worked hard all the time. The lead person, Mike, was very accomodating and good to deal with. Ours is a patio home with a postage size yard (apprx. 15'x20') between the house and the garage. The amount of dirt excaved filled the entire area. We lost 5 very old and healthy shrubs across the back (Co. takes no responsibllity for replacing) and don't know if grass will ever come back. They put down plywood to place excavated dirt on but not enough to contain all the dirt they removed and all uncovered places became packed with clay. These workers are not landscapers and their clean up left a lot to be desired. Be prepared for lots of additional clean up after they leave. The workers install piers and place bottle jacks for the "lift." Note that the end result is not to level the foundation to "0" but to lift only enough to bring within acceptable tollerences. Two men (one was presumably an engineer (?) and the other was a supervisor from the company to supervise the "lift" which is done by hand with one laborer on each jack following the supervisor's instructions) showed up for the scheduled lift. During the lift one of the piers across the back broke which resulted in the foundation setting down rather abrubtly. On the last day after all back-filling was done and the work crew had left the plumber showed up to do the post-lift static test. After about half hour he determined that their was now a leak in our drain and wouldn't fill to ground level. I hired the same plumbing company to come a few days later and run a camera through all drains and perform a "pin-point" inspection to locate the leak. After apprx. four and one-half hours they determined that there was no leak. The "pin-point" inspection is an expensive proposition. I called two other plumbing companies to get a ball park estimate of cost and the same company was as reasonable or more so than the others. The cost is approx. $100 per hour for plumber and a $125 camera charge. After the plumber concluded that there was no leak and speculated that the post-test was somehow bad, he greatly reduced the charge for the "pin-point" inspection. I thought this was reasonable and was happty that there was no leak. I would recommend that if a homeowner has foundation work performed and the post-test indicates a leak get a second plumber to do an independent post-test static test to verify. The permit charge is an add-on with this company which is added to the final payment. The company indicated that the City will call to arrange for a final inspection but I seriously doubt that this would happen. Since they didn't want to inspect the work while the piers were uncovered, I can't imagine what they would "inspect." Suspect that this is just another FEE that doesn't result in any in-progress quality inspection or follow-up. My overall rating for this company is a B because I would consider an A to represent excellent or near perfect work. I don't think any foundation company would rate an overall A unless they left the property in the same condition they found it and that didn't happen. I would recommend this company and A&A Plumbing."

"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.

Pros often use mudjacking or polyurethane foam injection to level a sunken concrete patio. Both methods lift the slab by filling voids beneath it. After properly compacting the soil beneath it to prevent future settling, the concrete may need to be removed and re-poured for severe sinking.
Polyjacking can be a permanent solution to sunken concrete if you also address the underlying issue—like poor drainage—at the same time. The polyurethane material itself can last as long as or even outlast the concrete you’re lifting it with. Your sunken concrete issue will likely return if you don’t couple polyjacking with proper drainage to prevent future soil movement and sinking.
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.
Common issues with concrete that may require professional repair or resurfacing include cracks, spalling, uneven surfaces, and weather damage.
Most projects take 1-3 hours, with immediate usability after completion.
