Arizona Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

The Owners of this 1980’s single family ranch style home reached out to us after noticing several signs of a foundation problem.

These signs included:

• Floors that are out of level
• Cracks in the drywall
• Cracks in the concrete stem wall
• Gaps / extra space between baseboards and the floor
• Exterior wall cracks

The Homeowners reported some of these symptoms began a few years ago.  Over time, the existing cracks have gotten worse and new cracks (both interior & exterior) have begun to appear.  It was important to the Homeowner that the problem be fixed correctly; maintaining the property value and restoring peace of mind were among the driving factors.

This foundation repair project had a number of items addressed, including foundation settlement near the bay window.

The Owners of this family home down in Gilbert, Arizona, were facing some serious settlement problems in many rooms of the house. The floor got cracks, and those cracks were expanding in all kinds of directions. After doing some research for concrete repair companies in Phoenix, Arizona, the Owners found us and chose to move forward with us based on our experience, quality, and amazing warranties.

Homeowners in Gilbert, Arizona began noticing serious signs of foundation settlement, including foundation cracks, uneven floors, and structural movement throughout the home. These issues are common in Arizona due to unstable and shifting soil conditions that can cause sections of a foundation to settle over time. Concerned about the safety and long-term value of their property, the homeowners contacted Arizona Foundation Solutions for a professional foundation inspection.

After a detailed evaluation of the home, our team determined that the most effective long-term solution was a foundation underpinning system using heavy-duty push piers. These engineered pier systems are designed to stabilize settling foundations by transferring the weight of the structure to deeper, more stable load-bearing soils beneath the home.

Under the supervision of Foreman Ricardo, the crew carefully excavated around the affected foundation areas and installed steel pier brackets beneath the footing. Using specialized hydraulic equipment, the push piers were driven deep into stable supporting strata to bypass the shifting surface soils responsible for the settlement. Once the system reached proper load capacity, the foundation was stabilized and adjusted where possible to help improve the levelness and structural performance of the home.

After the repair was completed, the homeowners noticed significant improvements throughout the property, including increased floor stability and reduced structural stress. With the foundation now reinforced by a permanent pier system, the Gilbert home is better protected against future settlement-related damage and positioned for long-term structural stability.

After thorough planning and evaluation, Juan and the Arizona Foundation Solutions team executed the repair using carbon fiber stitching. The process started with precise non-parallel cuts along the cracked areas of the foundation. Then, super high-strength carbon fiber laminates were installed into the cuts to bridge the cracks. Following the installation, low-viscosity polyurea was injected into and around the cracks to secure the carbon fiber and reinforce the structure.

The final step involved smoothing and grinding the repaired area for a polished finish. The entire process was quick, minimally disruptive, and more cost-effective than traditional methods, ensuring the foundation was stronger than before.

The Solution:

Step 1: Non-parallel cuts made along the foundation cracks.

Step 2: Installation of super-strength carbon fiber laminates into the cuts.

Step 3: Filling cracks with low-viscosity polyurea for reinforcement.

Step 4: Grinding the area smooth for a clean, finished look.

Results:

The foundation cracks were completely repaired with high-strength carbon fiber stitching, ensuring the structural integrity of the home. The homeowners were pleased with the quick, efficient process and the professionalism of the team, especially Juan’s oversight and Eli’s expertise in selecting the appropriate repair solution. Thanks to Amanda’s smooth scheduling process, the repairs were completed on time, leaving the homeowners with peace of mind.

This 1990's Gilbert, AZ home had a cracked stem wall that the Homeowners were concerned about. Arizona Foundation Solutions excavated near the deteriorated stem wall and the wall was chipped, down to the good concrete. Old Rebar was replaced with our non-ferrous composite bars. Finally, the wall was reconstructed with a cement patch and the excavated area was backfilled to finish the job!
