Frequently Asked Questions

What Supports Concrete Better, Polyurethane or Mudjacking?
Polyurethane will support your concrete much better than any mudjacking service. When injected, mudjacking materials are much thicker than polyurethane and do not spread out beneath the slab as well as polyurethane.
Should You Ask About Warranties When Getting Concrete Lifting Estimates?
Absolutely. A warranty shows that a company stands behind its work and values long-term results—not just quick fixes.
Ask us about our warranty—we’re proud to stand by our work and happy to answer any questions you have.
Can I use my raised concrete right away?
Yes. Our lifting material fully cures in about 15-30 minutes. When the job is complete, the concrete is free to use without restriction.
Do you require us to provide water or electricity?
No. Our equipment produces all the utilities required for us to get the job done!
Do you offer concrete lifting services in Colorado during the winter?
During the winter months, the ground temperature in Colorado drops too low for effective concrete lifting. When the soil is frozen, it prevents the material from spreading and lifting properly. To ensure the best results and long-lasting repairs, we pause lifting services until the ground thaws in the spring.
What Lasts longer? Polyurethane or Mudjacking?
Failure of the material used to raise your concrete is the most common reason for raised concrete to sink again. Rain and moisture typically causes mudjacking materials to soften and slump back down, or wash out completely. The excessive weight of mudjacking materials – regardless of the slurry used – can also promote further settling to occur.
How long does it take to raise concrete?
Most residential projects are completed in a few hours. Projects involving large municipal concrete raising projects or commercial locations may take a day or more, depending on size.
Can you lift sunken concrete that has been previously mudjacked?
Yes! In fact, a large portion of the projects we do involves concrete that was previously mudjacked. These mudjacking materials range from clay/sand mixtures to slurries resembling a concrete like consistency. If mudjacking materials don’t wash out, their excessive weight likely causes continued sinking. We regularly raise mudjacked slabs.
What is concrete grinding, and when is it a good option?
Concrete grinding is a fast and effective way to smooth uneven concrete surfaces without lifting. We recommend it when the height difference between slabs is minimal or when lifting isn’t necessary. Grinding provides a quick, clean, and affordable solution to create a safe, level surface.
Do you work with HOAs?
Yes, we are happy to work with all HOAs to ensure the shared areas are safe and secure. Concrete lifting extends the life of existing sidewalks without the mess or expense of demolition and new concrete pouring. It also limits your liability by eliminating uneven or sunken sidewalks that create tripping hazards.
