Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

The K. residence had a problem with cracks interior and exterior, but the major concern was their fireplace separating from the wall.  Here you can see a before picture of the separation and the after picture of the gap being closed due to adding piers around the foundation to stabilize. Besides foundation repair, Arizona Foundation Solutions does sump pump installation too in most areas of Arizona, including Mesa, Arizona!

Chad called us out to his home because his patio was settling and causing it to crack. We were able to add a pier to the column that was settling to prevent further settlement and to stabilize that portion of the foundation. Besides concrete stem wall restoration, Arizona Foundation Solutions does sump pump installation too in most areas of Arizona, including Mesa, Arizona!

The Owners of this 1980’s single family ranch style home reached out to us after noticing several signs of a foundation problem.

These signs included:

• Floors that are out of level
• Cracks in the drywall
• Cracks in the concrete stem wall
• Gaps / extra space between baseboards and the floor
• Exterior wall cracks

The Homeowners reported some of these symptoms began a few years ago.  Over time, the existing cracks have gotten worse and new cracks (both interior & exterior) have begun to appear.  It was important to the Homeowner that the problem be fixed correctly; maintaining the property value and restoring peace of mind were among the driving factors.

This foundation repair project had a number of items addressed, including foundation settlement near the bay window.

Homeowners in Gilbert, Arizona began noticing serious signs of foundation settlement, including foundation cracks, uneven floors, and structural movement throughout the home. These issues are common in Arizona due to unstable and shifting soil conditions that can cause sections of a foundation to settle over time. Concerned about the safety and long-term value of their property, the homeowners contacted Arizona Foundation Solutions for a professional foundation inspection.

After a detailed evaluation of the home, our team determined that the most effective long-term solution was a foundation underpinning system using heavy-duty push piers. These engineered pier systems are designed to stabilize settling foundations by transferring the weight of the structure to deeper, more stable load-bearing soils beneath the home.

Under the supervision of Foreman Ricardo, the crew carefully excavated around the affected foundation areas and installed steel pier brackets beneath the footing. Using specialized hydraulic equipment, the push piers were driven deep into stable supporting strata to bypass the shifting surface soils responsible for the settlement. Once the system reached proper load capacity, the foundation was stabilized and adjusted where possible to help improve the levelness and structural performance of the home.

After the repair was completed, the homeowners noticed significant improvements throughout the property, including increased floor stability and reduced structural stress. With the foundation now reinforced by a permanent pier system, the Gilbert home is better protected against future settlement-related damage and positioned for long-term structural stability.

In the quiet neighborhood of Gilbert, AZ 85295, a charming one-story adobe-style home faced a hidden but worsening threat. Subtle signs had been building over time—hairline cracks snaking along the stucco walls, a once-smooth slab floor that now sloped unevenly, and doors that stuck no matter how carefully they were adjusted. As soil conditions beneath the home shifted, the foundation began to settle, taking with it the homeowner’s sense of safety and the property’s long-term value.

What once felt like minor annoyances became major stressors. The real estate agent overseeing the property, Abby, knew something had to be done before the damage escalated or affected resale potential.

The Search for a Solution: No Room for Guesswork

Temporary fixes and cosmetic repairs couldn’t mask the deeper issue—structural instability. The homeowners needed more than a patch job. Foundation problems are complex and can’t be resolved with general contracting or DIY methods. The soil beneath the home was unstable, and without expert intervention, the home was at risk of continued settlement and costly future repairs.

The Repair Process: 19 Push Piers, Minimal Disruption, Maximum Stability

Saber Foundation Repair deployed a crew of trained professionals to the Gilbert home. Their plan: install 19 heavy-duty push piers beneath the foundation, each carefully hand-dug in precise locations along the home's perimeter.

Push piers are designed to reach load-bearing soil deep underground—making them ideal for unknown or unstable soil conditions like those in this area. The Saber team located all necessary utilities, obtained permits, and began work with minimal disturbance to the home and surrounding landscape. Every pier was installed with care to reduce noise and mess, and trenching was performed efficiently around obstacles like HVAC systems and trees.

The piers were attached to the foundation with steel brackets, driven deep into the earth until stable strata were reached. Soil was then backfilled, and concrete repair work was completed seamlessly.

The Transformation: Restored Confidence, Reinforced Value

By the end of the project, the results were clear—both visually and structurally. The home now rests on solid ground, its foundation stabilized permanently. Cracks ceased widening, interior floors no longer sloped, and doors opened and closed with ease.

Where once there was risk, now stood a home that was safe, secure, and ready for the market.
