Specifically with that mud jacking or whatever it's called where the crew pumps stuff under the concrete to level it out.
I'm just looking for a ballpark cost.
I have 5, 2 foot by 4 foot sections of sidewalk that are all over the place and I'm just curious what it might cost to fix without ripping them out and pouring new.
One nice thing is by the time they get the equipment there, it's not much more to do 5, than it is to do 1. In Philly it was $1200 for the first, $150 each additional. April 2022.
It cost me about $700 to have a section of the apron in front of my garage jacked up.
Not sure of the best metric to measure the scope of the job, but that required 2-3 injection sites if I recall correctly.
Outfit who did it provided free estimates, and said that more than likely the slab would crack. Slab did crack, but the left itself was successful.
In reply to Steve_Jones :
That's downright reasonable. The wife unit was convinced it would cost similar to what having the driveway torn up and redone would cost.
I had the garage apron and front walk jacked. It was done with foam and has lasted very well. The company lifted 125 sq ft of area, up to 7" and two sections had a brick wall sitting on them. The bill was $1400.
Had couple slabs moved 10 years ago. Its due to be redone.
I bought a house that had a patio mudjacked - Ugh.
The issue was the "mud" was chemically bonded and rock solid. The mudjacking failed, like they all due, because the underlying issue was not corrected. Now I had a slab pitched toward my house that was pitched the wrong way and essentially 18" of nonpermiable mess. Made a lot of trouble for basement water ingress.
Solution was to dig it all out, down about 18", then proper gravel, traffic bond, and so on to build a decent patio. 8 years later still as flat as the day I put it in.
I would mudjack if I had a house I was flipping or it was a surface that would not affect the drainage.
