The Owners of this single-family house down in Apache Junction, Arizona, were experiencing some problems with their slabs. The concrete slabs got cracked, and those cracks were extending in all directions. After doing some research for concrete repair companies close to Apache Junction, the Homeowners decided to move forward with AZFS based n our experience, quality, and amazing warranties.
In Apache Junction, Arizona, cracked concrete is a common issue, often caused by soil compression or erosion beneath the slabs. Anthony Ruiz, our experienced foreman, oversees projects like these to ensure efficient and effective solutions. Nevaeh Ochoa, our dedicated Customer Care Representative, coordinates appointments and ensures seamless communication.
When concrete cracks, it not only detracts from the aesthetics but also creates avenues for moisture to penetrate the soil underneath, exacerbating the problem. Traditional solutions like urethane caulk often fall short, leading to recurrent cracking, bubbling, and premature drying. This cycle of repair can become burdensome and costly for homeowners.
Fortunately, in Apache Junction, Arizona, Arizona Foundation Solutions introduces NexusPro, a revolutionary silicone-based sealant designed to address cracked concrete effectively. NexusPro offers unparalleled durability, resisting UV rays to prevent cracking and drying out. Installed by our skilled crew, NexusPro provides long-lasting flexibility and protection against harsh weather conditions, sealing cracks in driveways, patios, pool decks, and sidewalks with precision.
Under Anthony Ruiz's supervision, our team ensures meticulous preparation of cracks, insertion of NexusPro sealant, and finishing touches with native sand, leaving behind a uniform, polished surface. This not only addresses the current issue but also prevents unsightly weed growth. Moreover, with a quick curing time of just 60 minutes, compared to traditional products' 24-72 hours, NexusPro offers convenience and efficiency.
In addition to NexusPro, we offered PolyLevel®, a polymer injection solution for concrete leveling and lifting. This innovative method, administered by our expert technicians, stabilizes sunken or uneven concrete surfaces quickly and effectively. Whether it's a sinking driveway, sidewalk, and contractors ensure a hassle-free experience for homeowners in Apache Junction and neighboring areas.

Mr. Bosse called Arizona Foundation Solutions out to his home because of a rather large crack in his kitchen floor. With our solution of crack stitching, we were able to help this customer have a smooth kitchen floor.
At Arizona Foundation Solutions, we recently completed a project in Flagstaff, Arizona, to address significant structural issues in a residential property. The homeowner was experiencing uneven floors and noticed sagging beams in their crawl space, which was a growing concern for the stability and safety of their home.
Initial Assessment:
Chris, our experienced Design Specialist, conducted a thorough evaluation of the crawl space. He identified that the sagging beams and floor joists resulted from several factors, including:
Excessive Span Length: The length of the span exceeded the capability of the existing support members.
Increased Floor Load: Additional load added after the initial construction exceeded the original design values.
Moisture and Rot: High moisture levels in the crawl space had weakened the support members over time.
Given these issues, Chris recommended the installation of SmartJack® systems to provide the necessary supplemental support for the sagging beams and floor joists.
Installation Process:
Daniel, our skilled Foreman, led the installation team to implement the SmartJack® system. The process involved:
Preparation: Removing debris and preparing the crawl space by leveling the ground and ensuring a stable base for installation.
Base Installation: A well-compacted crushed stone base was laid to enhance support and distribute pressure evenly to the existing soils.
SmartJack® Installation: The team installed the SmartJack® steel components, designed to support up to 30,000 pounds, ensuring the adjustable jacks provided strong and reliable support.
Corrosion Protection: The SmartJack® components were protected with a triple-layer, in-line galvanized coating to prevent corrosion and ensure long-term durability.
Adjustments: Final adjustments were made to the all-thread rods to ensure the system was perfectly aligned and ready to support the axial compression loads.
Results:
The SmartJack® installation effectively addressed the structural issues, providing a robust and adjustable support system for the crawl space. The homeowner reported a significant improvement in the stability and evenness of their floors, with peace of mind knowing that the SmartJack® system could be adjusted in the future if needed.
Conclusion:
Thanks to the combined efforts of our team—Aly, who coordinated the project seamlessly, Chris, who provided expert assessment and recommendations, and Daniel, who ensured precise and efficient installation—this Flagstaff home is now structurally sound and protected against future settlement issues.
