When cracks began to snake across the basement walls of Dave’s Flagstaff home, it wasn’t just unsightly—it was alarming. Floors that once lay flat now sloped imperceptibly, doors jammed in their frames, and a faint dip underfoot hinted at unseen damage. What started as a few hairline fractures soon morphed into wider gaps, leaving Dave worried about both safety and the value of his property. The stress of watching his home settle further each day reached a tipping point: action had to be taken before minor repairs turned into a major catastrophe.
Like many homeowners facing foundation distress, Dave first researched do-it-yourself fixes and quick-patch contractors. Yet temporary concrete patches and surface-level sealants offered little reassurance—or permanence. He discovered that foundation settlement is a complex issue requiring specialized expertise and engineered products. Without the right approach, attempts to stabilize the slab could fail, even making the problem worse. Dave realized that only a foundation-focused professional with guaranteed methods could deliver the lasting security his home needed.
Dave’s search led him to Arizona Foundation Solutions, part of the international Supportworks network. A free inspection revealed the team’s customer-first values and deep technical know-how. During the evaluation, the professionals explained that “If your home shows signs of foundation settlement of any kind, Arizona Foundation Solutions can help,” offering a variety of warrantied foundation repair products—slab piers, push piers, and helical piers—custom-designed for every situation. Their transparent process, detailed on their website, won Dave’s trust: no jargon, just clear solutions and a 25-year manufacturer’s warranty backed by in-house performance guarantees.
After pinpointing the areas of greatest concern, Arizona Foundation Solutions developed a bespoke plan for Dave’s property, combining multiple pier systems to tackle uneven settlement:
-6 Push Piers: Installed adjacent to the footings with heavy-duty steel brackets and a patent-pending external sleeve to permanently resolve settlement issues. These rugged steel push piers offered the “best opportunity to lift home to original position” with “minimal disturbance during installation.”
-1 Helical Pier: Fitted with helical plates welded to the shaft, this versatile pier pulled itself deep into stable soils, ready to “lift settled foundations back to original level” and stabilize lighter structures.
-3 I-Beams & Hand-Dig Pier Concrete Rings: Supporting the new piers with solid steel beams and hand-excavated concrete reinforcement rings ensured that each anchor reached load-bearing strata.
-7 Lift Procedures: Each pier jack assembly, comprising hydraulic rams, steel base plates, and threaded rods, was used to methodically raise the slab back to level.
-1 Locate & 1 Mobilization: Before work began, the crew conducted a thorough locate of utilities and site logistics, then mobilized equipment to the Flagstaff address, minimizing downtime and disruption for Dave.
Within days, trenches cut through the concrete—mirroring the “before” test patches—and foundation jacks were installed to precision. Soil was backfilled once leveling was complete, and a final sweep restored the basement floor to its original, sturdy form. Throughout, the team maintained clear communication, ensuring Dave understood each step.
Post-repair, Dave’s home showed a remarkable turnaround. Walls stood true without new cracks, floors evened out, and doors swung open effortlessly. The new foundation piers—available in both black steel and galvanized steel for long-term strength and corrosion resistance—instilled confidence that this solution was built to last. What once looked like an ominous drop in the slab became a distant memory, replaced by a stable, level foundation and renewed curb appeal.
By acting early and choosing Arizona Foundation Solutions’ proven foundation pier systems, Dave prevented minor cracks from escalating into structural failure. His story underscores a critical lesson: foundation issues are not cosmetic—and they rarely fix themselves. Trust is earned through expert diagnosis, high-quality workmanship, and unwavering warranties. For Dave, that trust translated into peace of mind and a home ready to weather Flagstaff’s seasonal shifts for decades to come.
With the foundation secured, Dave’s investment in his home grew more than cosmetic value; it safeguarded his family’s safety and future resale potential. Arizona Foundation Solutions continues to offer its expertise across Arizona—whether for helical piers in challenging clay soils or push piers where depth is paramount—helping homeowners prevent costly damage before it starts.
