Why replace it when we can raise it! Concrete Raising/Leveling (also known as Mud Jacking) is a faster, cleaner, more cost effective and a long-term fix to your concrete needs. We use a "Limestone Grout" to lift, level and support the concrete by using "injection technology". Concrete Alternatives has been providing a fast, professional, quality service since 2006. The process is used in residential, commercial and industrial applications (nothing structural, metal or wooden). In addition, Concrete Alternatives offers other concrete services such as crack/spalling repairs, joint-filling and foundation sealing..................... PLUS, A VARIETY OF SERVICES LIKE CONCRETE EPOXY COATING & SEALING APPLICATIONS & POWER WASHING THAT CAN RESTORE, PRESERVE AND BEAUTIFY ANY CONCRETE SURFACE. If you need new concrete for a project, we have a company that we work closely with that we can refer you to. WE DO PROVIDE FREE ESTIMATES !!!

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.
