Residential Concrete Leveling – FAQs
Q: What is concrete leveling and how does it work?
Concrete leveling is the process of lifting and stabilizing sunken or uneven concrete without replacing it. At mudjacking milwaukee, we use polyurethane foam injection (polyjacking) to raise concrete from underneath. It’s fast, effective, and minimally invasive.
Q: How long does the process take?
Most residential jobs take just a few hours to complete. No digging, no heavy mess — and in most cases, your concrete is ready to use the same day.
Q: Is polyurethane foam better than traditional mudjacking?
Yes — polyurethane is lighter, stronger, and more durable than traditional mudjacking materials. It requires smaller injection holes, cures quickly, and resists future settling better than old-school slurry mixes.
Q: How long will the results last?
We back our residential work with a 10-year warranty, but properly lifted concrete with polyurethane foam can last for many years — especially when underlying soil conditions are stable.
Q: Is it more affordable than replacing the concrete?
Absolutely. Concrete leveling can cost 50–70% less than full replacement. Plus, there’s no downtime, no demolition, and no mess left behind.
Q: What types of residential surfaces can you lift?
We level driveways, sidewalks, porches, patios, walkways, steps, garage floors, basement floors, pool decks, interior/exterior slabs, and more.
Q: What causes my concrete to sink in the first place?
Most sinking is caused by poor soil compaction, erosion, or water washout beneath the slab. Our polyurethane foam fills voids and helps stabilize the soil to prevent future settling.
Q: Do I need to be home during the repair?
Not necessarily. As long as we have access to the areas being lifted and clear communication beforehand, we can get the job done even if you’re not home.
