"We recently hired JM Concrete LLC to work on our patio, and we were thoroughly impressed with their professionalism and efficiency. From the very beginning, they were prompt in responding to our inquiry, setting a positive tone for the entire project. They took extra care to protect our lawn during the construction by using boards, which demonstrated their attention to detail and respect for our property. The work was completed on time, and we found their pricing to be fair and transparent. We highly recommend JM Concrete LLC for anyone looking for quality and reliable service at a reasonable price.â"
"I was disappointed that the concrete slab didnâ t raise all the way. I was warned by the salesman that this could happen. The people who did the work said to wait a few months and they will try again under warranty."
"As facilities maintenance coordinator for West Point Hunt Club, I was tasked to solicit bids for the repair of a foundation problem that was causing cracking in the block walls of the house. Bedrock Foundation Systems, Inc. was the first of three contractors that I contacted.
Jim and Jason met with me on a Saturday and were on time, despite the fact that their company is based in Virginia Beach and our club is in the West Point area. Communication with them has been excellent and prompt. Both gentlemen were very cordial and took the time to thoroughly explain the cause of our problem, the method and materials they were going to use and also answered all of the questions I had for them. After meeting with the other two contractors I requested quotes from, they were the only one that took the time and were able to fully explain the conditions and the work necessary to re-stabilize the house. The scope of their work not only included the foundation lift, but also grinding out old mortar joints, tuck-pointing the mortar joints and replacing any cinder blocks cracked during the course of the job, not so with the others. Bedrock handled all permits, called Miss Utility and also consulted with a Structural Engineer before any work was performed. The contract was sent promptly and was written in terms that were concise, easy to understand and explained the work in every detail. There were no "escape" clauses nor any hidden/overage costs at all, just a promise to perform all work as stated in a workman-like and professional manner. Bedrock is a family owned and operated company and it shows, even in the contract they submit. The workers came, in force, performed all of the work in half of the estimated time! The job site was clean, no trash or debris left behind. Great job! We have noticed some slight cracking in the block work around the area that was lifted and understand this is due to the building "settling in" after the lift. We notified Bedrock of this and have told them that we will give the building a month or so before calling them back for repairs. They concurred and thanked us for our patience and understanding. I am fully confident they will be as prompt with repairs as they were in every other aspect of the process. Bedrock Foundation Systems, Inc was the highest bidder on this project, however, they were the only contractor to propose a turn-key job. No having to deal with a mason, no questions about who is responsible for any repairs or warranty claims, lifetime by the way, just a good "gut" feeling we have chosen the right contractor for our needs! Thanks, Jim, Jason and all employees at Bedrock who took part in the job. A job well done! If you are ever in need of this type of work, you owe it yourself to contact this company for a bid. Thanks Angie's List!! "
"My concrete porch had cracks and was sinking in a couple of areas. They applied an overlay to the whole porch. The overlay developed a problem within a few days. Ben and Monty responded to my concerns immediately. They came back within a week and fixed the problem. I am very satisfied with the job they did."
"Looking for Quality Service; look no further. Pro Movers is the Provider you need to organize your move. Daniel and his crew really made my move smooth as silk. They took excellent care of all my belongings and worked expeditiously. They worked tirelessly the entire contracted time and made sure I was satisfied every step of the way. Great value for all the hard work they do. I was extremely satisfied!"
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.
Most houses are expected to settle over time, but foundation sinking of more than a few inches or uneven sinking of more than an inch for every 20 feet is cause for concern. Any significant or uneven sinking should be assessed by a professional to determine the cause and perform any necessary repairs.
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.
Concrete leveling can last anywhere from five to 10 years or more, and in some cases, it can be a permanent solution. The longevity depends on the method used and whether the underlying cause of the sinking is addressed. For example, mudjacking typically lasts five to 10 years, while polyjacking can last for 20 years or more. It's best to consult a professional for an accurate timeline based on your specific situation and any factors that could cause the issue to recur.
Trenching and boring are two distinct methods for installing underground utilities. Trenching involves digging a channel using equipment like an excavator, trencher, backhoe, or shovel. While it is a simpler process, it causes significant disruption to the surface, landscaping, and surrounding ecosystems.
Boring, also known as directional boring, is a less invasive alternative that uses a drill to create a tunnel for utility lines without disturbing the surface. This method is more precise and is ideal for installations that need to go underneath buildings, roads, or bodies of water. Although boring is less disruptive, it is generally more expensive than trenching.
