Concrete Lifting and Leveling Before & After Photos

A quiet household in Camp Verde, AZ, found itself grappling with a silent crisis when the back patio began to settle unevenly. What started as a faint crack soon widened into a gaping fissure, lowering one side of the slab by several inches and making outdoor gatherings a safety hazard. Inside the home, subtle signs emerged: doors that scraped the jamb, slight tilts in the floors, and hairline fractures snaking along the walls. The family’s frustration mounted as everyday routines—parking in the garage, walking along the patio—became exercises in caution, and concerns over long-term damage loomed large.

The Search for a Solution

DIY patch-and-seal kits offered temporary relief but no guarantee against future settlement. Traditional mudjacking services touted low costs but carried risks of introducing even more weight to already compressed soils. Local handymen could fill cracks, yet none could promise a permanent fix or address the root cause: unstable, eroding soil beneath the concrete. Recognizing that foundation and slab problems demand specialized expertise, the homeowners knew it was time to look beyond patch-and-pray solutions.

Why Arizona Foundation Solutions?

A neighbor’s recommendation led the homeowners to Arizona Foundation Solutions (AZFS). The company’s reputation for thorough, transparent inspections and advanced repair methods immediately set it apart. During the free on-site evaluation, AZFS technicians explained how PolyLevel® Injection Foam could lift and level the 879 sq ft patio slab without the invasive bulk of mudjacking, and how NexusPro sealant would deliver long-lasting crack protection. This customer-first approach, backed by clear explanations and real-world before-and-after examples, provided the trust needed to proceed.

The Repair Process

1. Bluestake Compliance & Initial Locate
2. On July 1, 2025 (Bluestake ticket #1-602-470-1311), AZFS mobilized its crew to Camp Verde, completing the mandatory utility locate to mark underground lines.
3. PolyLevel® Injection Foam Application
4. Preparation: Small, discrete 5/8 in holes were drilled through the sunken slab panels.
5. Injection: PolyLevel®—a two-part geopolymer foam—was pumped beneath the slab. Expanding up to 15 times its initial volume, the foam filled voids and lifted the concrete to precise tolerances.
6. Curing: Within 15 minutes, the material supported full load, allowing the patio to be returned to service almost instantly.
7. NexusPro Joint & Crack Sealing (50 ft)
8. Existing control joints and the large crack were routed, cleaned, and fitted with backer rod.
9. NexusPro, a silicone-based sealant resistant to UV, extreme temperatures, and wash-out, was tooled into each gap.
10. A fine layer of native sand was applied for a seamless, uniform finish.

Final Inspection & Cleanup

The crew performed a walk-through to verify levelness, seal integrity, and site cleanliness before demobilizing.

Transformation – The After

By the end of the day, the back patio was restored to an even, sturdy surface. The previously sunken slab panels now aligned seamlessly, eliminating tripping hazards. Doors closed smoothly again, and the widened wall cracks no longer threatened interior finishes. The homeowners immediately noticed the difference: a solid, safe patio and the peace of mind that comes with a structurally sound foundation.

Emotional Engine – The Power of Trust

Acting early prevented further soil erosion and costly home damage. Through proactive communication and visible, measurable results, Arizona Foundation Solutions demonstrated why specialized polymer injection and expert joint sealing outperform quick-fix alternatives. Homeowners learned that transparent assessments and advanced materials like PolyLevel® and NexusPro aren’t just technical choices—they’re investments in long-term stability and safety.

New Era – A Win for Everyone

The successful project in Camp Verde illustrates how modern geotechnical solutions can revitalize homes at risk of settling. With the 879 sq ft concrete lift and level process completed alongside 50 ft of NexusPro sealant, the property’s curb appeal, safety, and value all received an immediate boost. Arizona Foundation Solutions continues to champion proactive repairs, helping families across Arizona—from Scottsdale to Sedona—secure their homes against the hidden threats below the surface.

In Scottsdale, Arizona, Eddy, our experienced foreman, leads a specialized team in tackling concrete repair challenges. Our customer care representative, Nevaeh, ensures smooth appointment bookings, while our design specialist, Eli, evaluates each problem meticulously. Today, they are addressing a sunken sidewalk that has become a tripping hazard.

Concrete is a heavy material, and over time, the soil beneath can compress, causing the concrete to settle. This is not only an aesthetic issue but also a significant safety concern. Traditional methods like mud jacking add more weight to the already compromised soil, often exacerbating the problem. Fortunately, our team uses PolyLevel®, a cutting-edge polymer injection foam that offers a faster, more affordable alternative to traditional concrete repair methods.

PolyLevel® is designed to lift and stabilize settled slabs, sidewalks, and other concrete surfaces efficiently. Its light weight (about 4 lbs. per cubic foot) and powerful lifting capacity make it ideal for areas where additional load is undesirable. Moreover, PolyLevel® is waterproof, stable, inert, and quick-curing, minimizing downtime and ensuring long-lasting results.

The project in Scottsdale, Arizona, overseen by our foreman Eddy, was a success. Nevaeh expertly scheduled the appointment, and Eli's precise evaluation ensured a tailored solution for the sunken sidewalk.

Using PolyLevel®, our team lifted the uneven sidewalk to create a safe, level surface. This advanced polymer injection technique allowed us to stabilize the concrete without adding unnecessary weight to the soil. The results were impressive: within minutes of application, the sidewalk was restored to its original position, eliminating the tripping hazard.

PolyLevel®'s quick curing time meant that the area was ready for full use just 30 minutes after the injection. This noninvasive method minimized disruption and mess, providing a seamless repair that will stand the test of time. The use of PolyLevel® also offers significant advantages over traditional methods, including its lightweight nature, waterproof properties, and the ability to be finely tuned for various applications.
