"Gerad Walker came out to my house to check on my crawl space. He found the dehumidifier that I thought had quit working had been set to high. He adjusted the settings and said the unit was working like a champ. In this day and time it is rare to have someone not give you a long story of what they found and how much it was going to take to correct. Having someone be 100% honest and fix your situation without charging you a dime is very rare. I'm a fan of this company and will use them again, for sure."

"It is my pleasure to write a review of our dock builder, Smoky Mountain Deck Builders. The more broad description of their work is attention to detail, great work ethics and desire to please their customer. Nick DiRoberto, the owner, listened patiently to our desires and goals and then offered some inventive, cost saving and aesthetically appealing ideas. He even came by several times to observe the project and tweaked a few things to improve the ultimate product. He is very artistic and creative and a pleasure to work with. The first crew sent to build the infrastructure and decking started early and stayed busy all day, every day! Crew chief Flip led by example. He, Marty, Jeffrey, Brandon and Ryan were meticulous in details. Absolutely no corners were cut or jobs rushed. Flip came up with a great way to have a ramp without steps. We loved this. Ryan, Marty and Jeffrey built a really nice storage unit with a custom made door frame that matches any factory frame. Some of the decking boards were cut and shaped several times over until they were satisfied with the results! No nails, only bolts and screws! Precision ruled the day. Fran, Nick’s father, who brings years of experience in dock and deck building, framing etc., joined with them to do the joists and roofing. Again, precision and attention to details were quite noteworthy. The poles were notched to set the joists on adding tremendous strength. Fran and others added high wind connectors to every cross beam, a practice usually done in Florida and other locations more prone to hurricanes and strong storms. All of these workers had a hand in attaching the rub-rails. They even mitered the corners and used special screws designed to prevent cuts to clothing, feet or skin. On the swim platform where the black rub-rail would prove too hot they rounded the decking edge. Mid way through the project we decided to use some carriage lights on each pole. Fran, Jeffrey and Ryan drilled angled long holes in the poles so the wiring would exit close to the ceiling. Very time consuming at no extra cost. Fran made special plates to mount the carriage lights onto , which was very aesthetically pleasing. The 4x4s and 6x6s were rolled to make them fit flush against the poles. Again, attention to detail. The wiring was done to minimize being seen overall. Fran and Brad installed the boat lifts with extreme accuracy. The leveling of the cross beams was nothing short of perfection. Finally, Fran and Patrick added some LED rope lights all around the bottom edge, suggested by Nick to accent the dock. They look great! Fran and Patrick ran the power down to the dock and met all of the inspector’s demands concerning breakers, wiring underground, GFI plugs etc. I need to also mention Gina, the office manager, who came by frequently, ordered any additions in a timely manner and stayed in constant contact with us. She possesses very good people skills. Great job Smoky Mountain Deck Builders! You will always have our gratitude and highest recommendations and endorsements. It was a pleasure to see such pride and attention to detail by all involved. If we plan any other additions to our house or property we will come to you first."

Mudjacking and foam jacking differ significantly in both materials and methods. Mudjacking uses a cement-based slurry to fill voids beneath a slab, while foam jacking uses expanding polyurethane foam delivered under high pressure to achieve superior structural support. This material distinction enhances load-bearing strength and overall stability in your repair.
Mudjacking takes between one and three days to dry completely. During this time, it's important to avoid putting weight on the slab until it's fully cured. The drying time depends on the project size and environmental conditions. In contrast, polyurethane foam used in foam jacking can cure in as little as one hour.
No, mudjacking is not a permanent fix for sinking concrete. While it effectively lifts the slab and can last five to 10 years, it doesn't address underlying soil issues that may cause future sinking. For a more permanent solution, you might consider foam jacking or complete slab replacement, which can address deeper structural problems.
