How Long Does a Denver Mudjacking Repair Last?
Monday, January 1, 2018

When the concrete on your property starts to sink, your first call should be to a Denver mudjacking company. Before you go through with the repair, however, you might want to ask how long the repair will last. By having as much information as possible at your disposal, you can be certain that you will be happy with the end result of this service.
Age of the House
The first thing that a Denver mudjacking company will want to know is the age of your property. This helps them to determine what is causing the sunken concrete and, therefore, how long the repair should last. Generally, the longer the concrete has taken to settle, the longer the repair will hold up. For example, if your house is just showing signs of concrete damage after 25 years, your repair should last for a significant period. In most cases, you can expect your repair to last for 8 to 10 years.
Some Exceptions
In some cases, your repair will not last as long. If your home is relatively new and you have run into some concrete problems already, there is a chance that some external factors are causing some issues with your soil. You will have to take care of these external issues, such as a misdirected downspout or critters, before having your concrete repaired. When you don’t take care of these external issues, the same problems will arise again in the near future.
Calling a Mudjacking Company
Once you start noticing some problems with your concrete, call a mudjacking company immediately. The folks at Cascade Mudjacking, who you can reach at 303-840-4725, can repair the concrete on your driveway, patio, porch, or sidewalk, making your property much safer.
