That depends on the size of the job. Most residential work can be completed on the day scheduled. Timing and finishing is always dependent upon the weather.
How big are the holes?
The drilled holes are approximately 1 1/2 inches in diameter.
How are the holes patched?
The holes are patched with concrete.
Will I notice the holes?
The drill holes are noticeable because we are putting fresh concrete on aged concrete. In time, the holes will begin to blend with the existing concrete.
What type of material is used?
We use bentonite, top soil and portland cement mixture.
Will the pumped or mudjacked slab(s) raise anymore after the work is completed?
No.
What will happen to the existing cracks in my slab?
Unfortunately, the cracks will still exist. In addition, we do not fill or patch concrete cracks. That is the owner's responsibility.

Most areas can be used right after we finish.
