Arizona Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

A Tucson homeowner first noticed the warning signs on a quiet Saturday morning: the basement concrete slab, once smooth and uniform, had become a patchwork of cracks and uneven surfaces. Doors to storage closets no longer closed easily, and the epoxy-sealed floor showed a network of fresh, jagged repair lines—temporary fixes that could not stop the slab from heaving under foot. Every step felt unstable, and the risk of a serious trip-and-fall accident loomed large. What began as a few hairline cracks rapidly escalated into a 1,000 sq ft section of uneven, heaving slab, leaving the family worried about safety, the cost of future repairs, and the potential drop in home value.

The Search for a Solution

Recognizing that typical DIY patch kits and local handymen offered only band-aid solutions, the homeowner researched specialized foundation and concrete repair firms in the Valley. Online forums and review sites echoed the same caution: settling concrete and soil instability demand more than surface-level mortar pumping. Temporary leveling materials often added weight, aggravating weak soils and leading to recurring settlement. Fearful of pouring money into stopgap measures, the homeowner sought a company with proven expertise and innovative methods—someone who could guarantee a lasting, minimally disruptive fix.

Why Arizona Foundation Solutions?

Arizona Foundation Solutions (AZFS) emerged as the clear choice. A complimentary inspection revealed the extent of the slab settlement and crack propagation. The homeowner was impressed by AZFS’s transparent evaluation: high-resolution photos of the epoxy-sealed patches, clear measurements of slab differential, and a detailed explanation of geotechnical factors at play. References to previous projects in Tucson, Chandler, and Sedona, along with dozens of five-star ratings, instilled confidence. The decisive moment came when AZFS recommended PolyLevel® injection foam for concrete lifting and HJ3 carbon fiber stitching for crack repair—technologies the homeowner had never seen but now trusted after a thorough demonstration.

The Repair Process

Pre-Work Preparation

A single utility locate ensured no underground lines would be disturbed.

The area was cleared, and precise saw cuts marked the 25 ft of crack-filling zones.

Concrete Lifting with PolyLevel®

Technicians drilled small ports into the slab at strategic intervals.

Lightweight PolyLevel® geopolymer foam was injected beneath the settled areas, expanding up to 15 times its initial volume to lift and level the 1,000 sq ft slab.

Within 15 minutes of injection, the material cured waterproof and inert—ready to support everyday loads without washing away.

Carbon Fiber Crack Stitching

For 34 ft of significant cracks, AZFS employed pre-cured HJ3 carbon fiber laminates.

Cuts at non-parallel angles captured the laminates, which were bonded with low-viscosity polyurethane.

After the adhesive set, the team filled and ground the surrounding concrete, returning the floor to a smooth, seamless finish.

Throughout the process, the AZFS crew worked efficiently, minimizing noise and debris. The homeowner’s initial worries about dusty grout mixers and bulky mud-pumping rigs were replaced by admiration for the clean, noninvasive equipment and the rapid pace of repairs.

Transformation – The After

By day’s end, the once-heaving slab had been restored to perfect levelness. Doors swung freely, and the grey-epoxy floor gleamed unbroken. No more patched “ribbons” of repair mortar—only a uniform surface capable of bearing heavy shelving and storage units with confidence. The homeowner reported that the foam-lifted concrete felt firmer than before, thanks to the targeted stabilization of underlying soils. In total, the project was completed in under eight hours, and normal family routines resumed almost immediately, with only a 15-minute restriction for the newly injected foam to cure.

Emotional Engine – The Power of Trust

This transformation underscores a critical lesson: small foundation and concrete issues should never be ignored. What begins as a minor crack can cascade into costly displacement, safety hazards, and lost property value. Arizona Foundation Solutions builds trust by offering transparent assessments, using advanced PolyLevel® and carbon fiber technology, and standing behind their work with clear warranties. Homeowners learn that timely intervention with the right experts prevents minor settlement from turning into major reconstruction.

Sinking concrete is no match for the power of PolyLevel®. PolyLevel® takes the concept of mud jacking and mixes it up with modern knowledge and innovation.

PolyLevel® not only results in a solution that looks better and lasts longer, it is less destructive to the applied surface. Mud jacking uses a heavier fill to level the surface and requires a larger quantity of injection holes along with larger sized injection holes.
