Is mud-jacking permitted?
Mud- jacking is not recommended as a sidewalk replacement/repair process by the city. However, the city does not prohibit the practice with the following limitations: • Only panels that are settled may be lifted by mud-jacking. Lifting a good panel to align with a raised panel is prohibited. • Mud-jacking is at the property owner’s risk. If unsuccessful, the sidewalk must be replaced. • No city warrantee applies to mud-jacked panels. • No permits or licenses are needed for mud-jacking, however, the property owner must receive an inspection by Public Works to comply with the sidewalk replacement notice/order.
