What is an alternative to trenching?

• <div><p>Boring (also known as directional boring) is one alternative to trenching when installing underground utilities. The main difference between directional <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/trenching-vs-boring.htm">boring versus trenching</a> is that boring doesn’t require digging or disturbing the surface. Instead, it involves creating holes or tunnels in the ground and then running utility lines through the openings. Boring is less invasive than trenching, but it’s also more expensive. </p></div>

Q: Can you mudjack cracked concrete?

• <div><p>Yes, you can mudjack cracked concrete, but the cracks will need to be repaired once the concrete has been leveled. If the concrete is severely cracked in multiple places, replacement may be a better option, but for less severe cracking, mudjacking is a good solution as long as cracks are correctly caulked and sealed.</p></div>

Q: How long does mudjacking last?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-mudjacking-lasts.htm">Mudjacking should last</a> for five to 10 years, so it&rsquo;s considered a temporary solution to sinking concrete. However, there are some cases where mudjacking fails before this time period, like if you have loose soil below the concrete or a karst landscape is to blame for the sinking concrete. Some mudjacking projects can last for well beyond a decade, depending on the underlying issue.</p></div>

Q: Do concrete mudjacking companies need to be licensed?

• <div><p>Most states and municipalities don&rsquo;t require concrete mudjacking companies to carry a specific license, but they usually need to have a general contractor&rsquo;s license, and they should be fully insured. The only exception is if the mudjacking company provides foundation repairs as well, or if it offers mudjacking for home foundations. In that case, they will typically need a foundation repair contractor&rsquo;s license. You can check state requirements and then use Angi&rsquo;s <a href="https://www.angi.com/angi-license-check.htm">license lookup tool</a> to confirm that a company is properly licensed to provide mudjacking services in your area.</p></div>

Q: Can mudjacking be used for all types of concrete floors or surfaces?

• <div><p>Mudjacking is suitable for sidewalks, driveways, patios, and nearly all exterior flat structures. However, it may not suit severely damaged or heavily cracked areas.</p></div>
