Arizona Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

Homeowners in Phoenix, Arizona began noticing warning signs of foundation settlement, including wall cracks, uneven floors, and structural movement throughout the home. These issues are common in Arizona due to expansive clay soils that shrink and expand with changing moisture conditions, placing stress on the foundation over time. Concerned about worsening damage, the homeowners contacted Arizona Foundation Solutions for a professional inspection and long-term repair solution.

After completing a detailed foundation evaluation and elevation survey, our team determined that the home required structural stabilization to prevent additional settlement. To address the problem, we recommended the installation of hydraulic push piers designed to transfer the weight of the structure to deeper, more stable load-bearing soils beneath the property.

Under the leadership of Foreman David, the crew carefully excavated around the foundation and installed heavy-duty steel pier brackets at strategic locations. Using specialized hydraulic equipment, the piers were advanced deep into stable supporting strata to provide permanent foundation support. Once the system reached proper load capacity, the home was hydraulically stabilized and adjusted where possible to help correct the uneven settlement.

Following the installation, the work areas were backfilled and restored, leaving the property clean and structurally reinforced. The completed repair provided the homeowners with a durable, long-term foundation stabilization solution designed to help protect the home from future settlement-related damage and restore peace of mind.

The restoration process for the foundation slab of this historic Phoenix home involves utilizing innovative techniques such as PolyLevel, a lightweight expansive polyurethane solution. This method effectively fills any existing voids and elevates the floor slab to its optimal level.

To commence the repair, small 3/8” holes are carefully drilled into the exterior concrete slab. Through these access points, polyurethane grout is then skillfully injected directly beneath the slab surface. This process efficiently raises the slab to its Highest Practical Maximum, ensuring structural integrity and stability for the entire foundation.

The stem wall at the Phoenix home began to flacking and cracking. This was due to the rebar becoming oxidized and weakening the concrete around it. We came in and installed our patented non-ferrous composite.

The concrete stem wall on this late 1970s home had a few areas of concrete cracking, flaking and crumbling.  

Mid repair, we confirmed the culprit - rusting rebar!

When moisture becomes trapped near the concrete stem wall of your home, porous concrete may absorb that moisture.  Once said moisture makes it to the rebar, oxidization, corrosion and rust may occur.
