"I have had two issues since they installed the new sump pump and irrigation. Issue number one was water still getting passed the new concrete. The other issue is that the new concrete was not level at all which has caused issues with the new flooring I installed. However, their customer service is top notch and will work hard to take care of you."

"Two jobs completed at separate times; three days altogether for both. TerraFirma quickly completed both jobs and the basement environment is significantly improved. We immediately noticed a difference in the air quality in the basement. The crawl space looks great and is now a clean environment. The concrete patio is now even and water no longer flows towards the house foundation. Issues : Crawlspace - 1. The invoice I was presented at the completion of the job was $900 more than the agreed upon price. After an hour, and me needing to make several phone calls, the situation was resolved. 2. The dehumidifier was not placed in the designated position described by the salesperson and noted in the plans. The dehumidifier was to be placed in an open spot in our basement adjacent to our utility sink. The foreman on the day of installation said that was not standard, pointed out how it was not possible to place it in the basement and installed it in the crawl space. The foreman and I tried to contact the salesperson for clarification but we were not able to get ahold of him. The foreman said this was typical. The salesperson did call me back at the end of the day but by then decisions had been made and work completed. 3. The dehumidifier was placed in such a way that the programming screen is not visible from the crawl space opening. If the unit throws a code there is no way to tell other than entering the crawlspace. 4. The salesperson said we would be provided with “decorative screens” to cover the crawlspace openings in the basement. What we received was wire mesh glued on to the cement walls. 5. We needed to make further arrangements with an electrician to accommodate the unplanned crawlspace placement of the dehumidifier. Patio polylevel – One of the two-man service crew brought his family (friends?) onto my property and worksite without consulting me and entertained them in my backyard for about a half an hour, mid-afternoon. Besides being a serious liability issue, I have to say that it is one of the oddest things I’ve ever seen a service person do; and I’ve seen some odd stuff."

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.
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.
Polyjacking and mudjacking can both be effective solutions for sinking concrete, but they have key differences. Polyjacking, which uses expanding polyurethane foam, is often considered a better option because the foam is significantly lighter than the cementitious material used for mudjacking. This reduced weight puts less pressure on the underlying soil and lowers the risk of future sinking. Polyjacking is suitable for any sinking concrete slab, while mudjacking is typically only recommended for non-structural concrete, such as sidewalks, patios, pool decks, and driveways. The primary drawback of polyjacking is its cost, which can be up to four times higher than mudjacking—as much as $25 per square foot compared to a maximum of about $6 per square foot for mudjacking.
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.
It restores concrete, prevents replacement cost disruptions, reduces trip hazards, and provides stability at a lower cost.
