Concrete Lifting and Leveling Before & After Photos

This 1980's slab on grade ranch style home was experiencing some settlement in the northern & eastern portions of the home.  The settlement was treated by injecting a lightweight expansive polyurethane (PolyLEVEL) to fill existing voids and lift the floor slab.

Sandra’s home in Anthem, AZ had long shown the telltale signs of concrete settlement: an uneven sidewalk that sat lower than her driveway, hairline cracks snaking across the walkway, and control joints left unsealed. Each morning, she watched as family and guests navigated the sunken slab—an obvious trip hazard that chipped away at her peace of mind. Doors stuck, thresholds creaked, and the once-smooth transition from driveway to front door became a constant reminder that something critical needed fixing. Beyond safety concerns, Sandra worried that these issues would devalue her home and turn routine visits into an obstacle course.

The Search for a Solution
Determined to find a long-term fix, Sandra researched concrete leveling and foundation repair options online. DIY patch kits promised quick relief but offered no guarantees against future settling. Traditional mudjacking methods seemed disruptive, messy, and added heavy loads to already compromised soil. Even local handymen delivered temporary band-aids—cracks reappeared, joints popped open, and the underlying problem of unstable soil remained unaddressed. Realizing her concerns went beyond cosmetic repairs, Sandra needed a specialized solution that combined precision, speed, and lasting durability.

Why Arizona Foundation Solutions?
A friend recommended Arizona Foundation Solutions (AZFS) after raving about their clear communication and reliable service. Sandra scheduled a free on-site inspection and was impressed by AZFS’s thorough evaluation: moisture readings, soil-bearing tests, and precise measurements of the sunken slab. AZFS explained how PolyLevel® injection foam could lift and stabilize settled concrete with minimal disruption—avoiding the bulk and unpredictability of mudjacking. Their expert guidance, backed by real before-and-after photos from nearby Scottsdale and Mesa projects, provided the reassurance Sandra needed to move forward.

The Repair Process
On project day, AZFS mobilized its crew and equipment—one mobilization covering the entire job at Sandra’s property. Small drill holes were strategically placed across the 125 sq ft sunken sidewalk. Through these ports, technicians injected the two-part PolyLevel® geopolymer. Lightweight at just 4 lbs per cubic foot (compared to 120 lbs per cubic foot for standard fill), the expanding foam flowed into voids and under the slab, lifting it back to the level of the driveway. Within minutes, each injection raised the sidewalk precisely, and in about 15 minutes the foam cured to full load-bearing strength.

Next, AZFS addressed the control joints and cracks―33 ft of joints and an additional 125 ft of perimeter seam—using NexusPro silicone sealant. After cleaning and preparing each joint, technicians installed backer rod filler and tooled in a bright white, UV-resistant bead of NexusPro. The sealant cured in about 60 minutes, creating flexible, long-lasting protection against moisture intrusion, soil washout, and weed growth.

Transformation – The After
By day’s end, Sandra’s walkway looked and felt brand new. The sunken slab now sat perfectly level with the driveway, eliminating the trip hazard once and for all. The crisp white sealant lines along joints and edges contrasted beautifully with the cleaned concrete surface, enhancing curb appeal instantly. With the PolyLevel® foam providing superior ground support and NexusPro shielding the joints, the walkway was ready for full foot traffic—no downtime necessary. Sandra could now welcome guests without worry and park right up to the front door without scraping her bumper.

Emotional Engine – The Power of Trust
Sandra’s journey underscores the importance of early action when foundation and concrete issues arise. Left unattended, even small cracks and settling can evolve into structural threats that compromise safety and property value. Arizona Foundation Solutions builds trust through transparent assessments, expert execution, and proven technologies like PolyLevel® injection and NexusPro sealant. By answering questions, demonstrating real-world results, and standing behind their work, AZFS transforms homeowner anxiety into confidence.

New Era – A Win for Everyone
With her concrete problems solved, Sandra enjoys greater peace of mind and a safer, more attractive entrance to her home. The structural stability provided by PolyLevel® extends the lifespan of her slab, while NexusPro’s durable sealant protects against future moisture damage. This combination not only restored her property’s integrity but also increased its market value—an outcome that benefits Sandra today and into the future. Arizona Foundation Solutions continues to serve Anthem, Phoenix, and surrounding communities with the mission of safeguarding homeowners’ investments.

The restoration process for the foundation slab of this historic Phoenix home involves utilizing innovative techniques such as PolyLevel, a lightweight expansive polyurethane solution. This method effectively fills any existing voids and elevates the floor slab to its optimal level.

To commence the repair, small 3/8” holes are carefully drilled into the exterior concrete slab. Through these access points, polyurethane grout is then skillfully injected directly beneath the slab surface. This process efficiently raises the slab to its Highest Practical Maximum, ensuring structural integrity and stability for the entire foundation.
