Arizona Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

This early 2000's single family home had a significant crack in the foundation slab.  We were able to close the crack using crack stitching.

The Robinson's home in Phoenix needed their stem wall repaired. The rebar used to reinforce the concrete stem wall foundation was corroding. The forces generated from the corrosion cracked the stem wall. We needed to chip back the concrete, replace the rebar, and then pour and form a new stem wall in the section that needed repair. If you're wondering, what is a stem wall? It is a crucial part of a home's foundation that supports the above-ground structure. Here are some before and after pictures of the stem wall repair.

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.

This before-and-after photo set showcases a professional concrete crack stitching project completed in Phoenix, AZ. The interior concrete slab had developed a significant structural crack extending across the room. Our team permanently stabilized the crack using a professional concrete crack stitching system designed to restore slab integrity while helping prevent further movement. This foundation repair solution provides a durable alternative to simple crack filling, making it an effective option for structural concrete crack repair in Arizona homes.

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.
