Concrete Leveling Customer Questions
Concrete leveling is an excellent answer for settled, sunken and cracked sidewalks, pool decks, patios, garage floors, porch steps and driveways. Perhaps the best repair method, concrete leveling or mudjacking stabilizes a fair number of the damaged outdoor slab problems.
Supposing you aren’t conversant with mudjacking Denver concrete leveling experts will sort you out. We receive tons of queries from potential and existing clients, and we thought we share answers to the most common questions.
1. How does mudjacking work?
Mudjacking entails the drilling of well thought out holes in a damaged slab, later pumping cement slurry into the holes. This mix fills the gaps in the soil beneath and the resulting pressure lifts and returns into its original and stable position.
We use a modern polyurethane foam injection method. Polyurethane foam is more resilient and better for the environment than typical mudjacking slurry.
2. What’s the average cost of concrete leveling?
Usually, our team provides a tailored estimate of individual clients depending on their needs. However, according to the popular home improvement forum, HomeAdvisor.com, mudjacking costs range anywhere between $540 and $1290. The average leveling project costs $875. Pulling out and replacing a slab is significantly more expensive and may cost twice or thrice the price of leveling.
3. Is there evidence of repair upon repair?
Once the holes in the damaged slab are sealed, the restoration works are virtually invisible. At close range, the evidence of repairs are perceptible if you pay close attention, from a distance; however, the slab looks flawless. Your choice of concrete leveling contractor determines the quality of finishing. Newly restored slabs normally look peculiar in the midst of the pre-existing concrete, and the variation is evident.
4. How long do concrete leveling projects take?
Leveling repairs take roughly two hours to finish. Following this, the slab is set for use. Vast projects may take longer to complete, but not as much as a slab overhaul. Pulling away from the existing material and the time required for curing new concrete makes a slab replacement all the more time-consuming.
We recommend that customers obtain a time estimate their project will take from the concrete leveling company they wish to engage.
5. How long does a concrete leveling repair last?
Since mudjacking and polyurethane foam injection rectify soil gaps – the root of nearly all settlement-related damages – it affords a lasting solution. Concrete slabs that have undergone leveling remain in one piece for close to a decade.
6. Can leveling fix all slab damages?
Sadly, no – concrete leveling can’t solve all slab damage problems. Where concrete has suffered considerable deterioration or crumbling, it typically needs replacement.
Your concrete leveling company should advise on the best solution hinging on your problem.
