In Sierra Vista, Arizona, the front porch of a residence is experiencing significant concrete cracking due to the compression or erosion of the underlying soil. These cracks are not only unsightly but also allow moisture to infiltrate beneath the slab, which can lead to further soil erosion and additional cracking. The aim of this project is to repair and seal the cracked concrete on the front porch to prevent further damage and restore its aesthetic appeal.
Team Members:
Foreman: Eduardo, who will oversee the entire project to ensure quality and efficiency.
Customer Care Representative: Aly, who will coordinate appointments and customer interactions.
Design Specialist: TJ, who will evaluate the problem areas and design the repair strategy.
Solution:
We will utilize NexusPro, a silicone-based sealant from Arizona Foundation Solutions, known for its long-lasting flexibility and resistance to harsh weather conditions. Unlike traditional sealants, NexusPro is UV-resistant and won't crack, bubble, or dry out, ensuring a durable repair solution.
Process:
Inspection: TJ will conduct an on-site evaluation to assess the extent of the damage on the front porch and determine the best repair approach.
Preparation: The crew, led by Eduardo, will drill and smooth the cracks, inserting a non-absorbent backer rod filler.
Application: NexusPro will be applied to seal the joints and cracks, providing a strong barrier against moisture and weather damage.
Finishing: A thin layer of native sand will be applied for a uniform and finished appearance.
Expected Outcomes:
The NexusPro solution is expected to provide a durable repair that enhances the front porch’s appearance and longevity. The sealed joints and cracks will prevent moisture infiltration and protect against soil compaction and washout.
The Owners of this family home noticed some concrete crack son their garage, so they decided to call the expert for a professional opinion about the foundation problem. After evaluating the area, our professionals came up with the solution of leveling the floor first before actually repairing the concrete cracks on the floor.
In Safford, Arizona, a homeowner was facing significant issues with their foundation, causing noticeable cracks in their concrete floor. Concerned about the structural integrity and the potential for further damage, they reached out to one of the top house foundation repair companies near you. Upon booking an appointment through our efficient Customer Care Representative, Neveah, the case was promptly evaluated by our Design Specialist, TJ.
TJ conducted a thorough inspection and determined that the cracks were due to settlement and structural damage. To address the problem effectively, he recommended our advanced crack stitching repair method utilizing Glass, Kevlar, and Carbon Composites. This method, recognized for its strength and cost-effectiveness, would ensure a durable and reliable solution.
After the initial evaluation, our skilled Foreman, Gamalier, led the repair team to execute the crack stitching repair method. The process began by cutting the cracks in non-parallel cuts to prepare for the installation of the carbon fiber stitching system. The team then installed super high-strength carbon fiber laminates into the cuts and adhered them with low viscosity polyurea. This innovative approach, which is faster and more cost-effective than traditional steel dowels, provided a robust repair for the concrete cracks.
Next, the team filled the cracks and the area around the carbon fiber slits with super low viscosity polyurea. Once the polyurea was set, they ground the area smooth, ensuring a seamless finish. The final look was not only aesthetically pleasing but also significantly stronger, restoring the integrity of the foundation.
