Britton had been worried about our front porch concrete area as it seemed each year it was falling more and more. We were starting to get water running into the garage and in the winter, it would cause an icy, dangerous area when anyone walked up to our door partly because it was shaded on the north side of the house and was draining toward the garage. So, Britton convinced me that it was a structural issue and not cosmetic, so we forked over the $450 to get it mudjacked. It was pretty interesting to watch them pump so much concrete under the porch (it hadn’t started to fall, but was an empty cave underneath and they suggested it for preventive reasons) and then raise the walkway.

I think it looks pretty good except I don’t like the hole/spots all up and down our walkway and I think they raised it slightly too high in one area. Overall, Britton says it will do it’s function better now, so I think it was worth it.
