My home was built in 1968. It has settled to one side about 5 in in total. It is on a slab. I would like to have it raised to the proper level. I don't think it is something I would want to try my self so is there someone that I can contact in the New Jersey area. I need to get a few different prices so that I can have it done. The house didn't sink in a corner or one side. The whole thing went down to one side. The left side is in it's original spot while the right side sank down about 5inches. Like I said it is on a slab. I called a few mud jacking companies but they said it would be to heavy for them to mud jack it back up. I would have to have it raised first then put another foundation or something like that. Thanks in advance....Fred
