Arizona Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

This family down in Glendale, Arizona, was very worried about the longevity of their concrete, especially because of the many oil stains on it. They were looking for something to protect it from the arid summers in AZ. Additionally, the family wanted a fresh new look for their concrete without compromising the integrity of their concrete.

Foreman Anthony assessed the situation, noting the mismatched and stained concrete surfaces that dotted the property. The driveway showed signs of wear and tear, with unsightly stains marring their appearance. Anthony understood the importance of addressing these issues not only for aesthetics but also for the durability of the concrete against the harsh Arizona climate.

After Project Description:

With Foreman Anthony at the helm, the concrete sealing project in Glendale, Arizona, was a resounding success. Anthony and his team utilized DecoShield™ Concrete Sealer to rejuvenate the family's concrete surfaces, providing both protection and visual enhancement.

The process began with meticulous surface preparation, using a special etching liquid to ensure maximum adhesion of the sealer. Next, the concrete was power washed to remove any dirt, grime, and oil stains, leaving behind a clean canvas. Once dry, the team applied the tinted DecoShield concrete sealer in multiple coats, allowing each layer to cure before proceeding to the next.

The result was striking. The once dull and damaged concrete surfaces now boasted a translucent tint that not only enhanced their appearance but also provided robust protection against chemicals, moisture, and UV rays. The family's worries about the longevity of their concrete were alleviated, knowing that their surfaces were now fortified against the harsh elements of an Arizona summer.

Thanks to DecoShield's wide array of concrete stain colors, the family was able to achieve the fresh new look they desired without compromising the integrity of their concrete. The mismatched and stained concrete floors were transformed into a cohesive and visually appealing feature of their home, boosting curb appeal and leaving a lasting impression on visitors.

In conclusion, Foreman Anthony and his team demonstrated their expertise and dedication to delivering exceptional results, leaving the family in Glendale, Arizona, delighted with their beautifully sealed concrete surfaces. With DecoShield Concrete Sealer, they can now enjoy their outdoor spaces with confidence, knowing that they are both protected and aesthetically pleasing.

In Glendale, Arizona, our foundation repair team, led by Foreman Alonso, worked with the design expertise of Ted, our Design Specialist, and the organizational support of Aly, our Customer Care Representative. The project involved comprehensive foundation repair services to stabilize and raise a residential foundation that had shown signs of settlement due to fluctuating soil moisture levels. By utilizing our patented foundation products, including hydraulic piers and helical piles, we addressed the underlying issues effectively and permanently.

Before the Repair:

The initial evaluation by Ted included a thorough inspection of the property’s foundation. Notable symptoms included:

Vertical cracks in the slab foundation

Uneven floors and misaligned door frames

Visible signs of foundation settlement affecting the home’s structural integrity

Upon inspection, it was determined that foundation settlement was caused by changes in moisture levels in the soil, which had weakened the ground beneath the foundation. With a manometer survey, we confirmed the areas of greatest displacement and developed a customized plan using push piers and helical piles. This ensured a cost-effective, scientifically backed solution specifically tailored for Arizona’s soil conditions.

Foundation Repair Process:

Once the repair plan was approved, Alonso and his team took the following steps:

Excavation: Small pits were dug around the foundation at specific points to allow for the installation of hydraulic push piers. Each pit measured 3 feet by 3 feet, providing adequate space for the brackets and piering equipment.

Foundation Preparation: The team trimmed the foundation footings, ensuring that they could securely receive the steel brackets that anchor the piers.

Pier Installation: Heavy-duty steel piers were driven deep into load-bearing strata, approximately 20 feet beneath the surface, bypassing the problem soils. This provided a stable and permanent support for the structure.

Foundation Raising: Using hydraulic rams, the house was slowly lifted to its original level. This process was carefully monitored to avoid undue stress on the structure, ensuring a safe and controlled lift.

Finishing Touches: Once the foundation was level and secure, the piers were cut to height, and the pits were backfilled. The jacking hardware was removed, and the landscaping was restored to its original condition, leaving no visible evidence of the work performed.

After the Repair:

With the foundation stabilized, the homeowners noticed an immediate improvement in the structure's integrity. Key benefits included:

Level floors and properly functioning doors and windows

A significant reduction in visible cracks and stress lines

Peace of mind knowing the foundation was supported by durable, long-lasting piers anchored to bedrock

Additionally, the homeowners received a detailed report from our team, outlining the work done and future maintenance tips to help prevent further settlement. They were also given a warranty on the foundation piers, ensuring long-term security for their investment.
