Is the porch at your Salt Lake City home sinking? Concrete lifting can solve the problem, restoring the safety, stability and appearance of your porch without breaking the bank.
Sagging porches are a common sight throughout northern Utah, and many homeowners think the only solution is replacement. That’s not the case – concrete lifting, also known as mudjacking, is a reliable repair method, one that’s been in regular use for decades. Read the following, and you’ll understand why it’s the best option for your sunken porch.
Restore Your Porch in a Few Hours
Concrete lifting takes almost no time – professional mudjacking contractors can typically get the job done within a couple of hours. And, when they’re done with your porch, it will be ready for immediate use.
Not only does the mudjacking process make concrete slabs safe and level, but with caulking, it also leaves little evidence. The repair will be barely noticeable, and you will be free to invite guests over without worries of someone tripping and falling.
In comparison, a replacement project could take several days to complete. And if you decide to go that route, don’t expect your porch to be usable for at least a week.
Enjoy Your Porch for Years to Come
Mudjacking isn’t a short-term fix – with concrete lifting, you can look forward to using your porch for at least a decade.
Voids or empty spaces in the soil below are the reason your porch is sagging, and those will be gone after you get mudjacking. As such, the slab will have the necessary support to remain stable for quite a long time.
Replace your porch, and you likely won’t see the same results. The concrete will be new, but the voids will remain. So, the problem could return at any point.
Benefit by Choosing a Low-Cost Repair
Concrete lifting isn’t just fast and effective – it’s also the most affordable solution for a sunken porch.
Project costs can vary depending on the scope of the work, but the average price is just under $1,200. With a serious sag, the cost of concrete lifting may be higher due, but the total will still be much less than it would be if you opted to replace your porch.
Go that route, and you’ll almost certainly have to pay at least $2,000 to $3,000. Given that mudjacking is a more effective fix, does spending more make sense? Probably not.
