Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

In Gilbert, Arizona, homeowners often face foundation issues such as bowing walls, floor cracks, and settling foundations due to the region's unique soil conditions. One such homeowner reached out to Arizona Foundation Solutions after noticing significant cracks in their home's foundation and uneven floors, which were beginning to affect the safety and value of the property.

Amanda, the Customer Care Representative, swiftly scheduled a free, no-obligation foundation inspection. Ricardo, the experienced Foreman, oversaw the entire project, ensuring smooth communication between the team and the homeowner. Alex, the Design Specialist, conducted the thorough inspection and identified the primary issues, including foundation cracks and uneven floors caused by soil instability.

The solution recommended involved installing foundation piers and underpinning systems, both of which are industry-leading products from Supportworks, designed to stabilize and restore the home's foundation permanently. Arizona Foundation Solutions assured the homeowner of a permanent fix, backed by a robust warranty for complete peace of mind. The customer was given a free written estimate for the entire scope of work.

After Project Description:

After Arizona Foundation Solutions completed the underpinning and foundation repair, the Gilbert homeowner was thrilled with the results. Under Ricardo's leadership, the project was finished on time and within budget, addressing all the foundation issues that Alex had identified during the inspection. The bowing walls and cracks were eliminated, and the home's floors were stabilized using the patented pier system from Supportworks.

The repair not only restored the home's structural integrity but also improved its overall value and safety. The homeowner received a detailed post-project report, including information on the warranties that come with the foundation repair system. Arizona Foundation Solutions' team of experts, led by Ricardo and Alex, provided exceptional service and ensured the project was completed to the highest standards.

Now, with a stable foundation, the homeowner can enjoy peace of mind knowing their home is secure and protected from future damage.

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.

Why Saber Foundation Repair?

After researching companies and weighing their options, the homeowner turned to Saber Foundation Repair, drawn by its reputation for thorough inspections, expert solutions, and lasting results. The Supportworks-certified team quickly earned trust through transparency, professionalism, and a no-pressure consultation.

What stood out? Saber’s clear explanation of the problem, their tailored solution using foundation push piers, and a reassuring 25-year manufacturer's warranty, plus Saber’s own performance and installation guarantees. This wasn’t just a fix—it was a permanent solution.

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.

Emotional Engine: Why Waiting Isn't Worth the Risk

Foundation issues rarely get better with time—and the longer they’re ignored, the more expensive and dangerous they become. This project demonstrates how Saber Foundation Repair provides not just technical solutions but peace of mind. With expert diagnostics, honest evaluations, and proven products like push piers and slab repair, they eliminate the guesswork and deliver results that last.

A Win for Everyone: Stability Today, Value Tomorrow

Fixing the foundation didn’t just resolve safety concerns—it added measurable value and longevity to the home. Whether planning to sell or stay, the homeowner protected their investment and avoided the mounting costs of inaction.

In Flagstaff, AZ, a family noticed unsettling changes around the northwestern corner of their home. Cracks fanned out above the sliding pocket doors, jamming them halfway open. The wooden ramp attached to the deck had visibly dropped, hinting at subsidence beneath the surface. With each passing day, the stucco near the deck showed fresh scuffs and filler patches—silent witnesses to an escalating foundation problem. What began as a minor inconvenience soon threatened both the safety and value of their home, leaving the homeowners anxious about the next heavy rain or chilly winter freeze.

The Search for a Solution

Like many facing foundation woes, the homeowners explored quick fixes—patching cracks, propping stuck doors, and even consulting local handymen. Yet, these temporary measures couldn’t address the real culprit: a settling foundation. They soon realized that specialty engineering solutions were required; anything less risked recurring damage and rising costs. Online research led them to products like slab jacking and plywood shims, but none promised the permanent stability they desperately sought.

Why Arizona Foundation Solutions?

A free inspection offer caught their eye. Arizona Foundation Solutions (AFS), part of the international Supportworks network, pledged a comprehensive evaluation and customized repair plan. The homeowners were impressed by AFS’s transparent process: an expert from AFS used precise instruments to measure the tilt and depth of the subsidence area, confirming that standard patchwork would soon fail. References to “Foundation Piers Installed in Tucson and nearby in Arizona” and the variety of “helical piers, push piers, and more for settling foundations in Arizona” underscored AFS’s product range. With a 25-year manufacturer’s warranty and in-house crews fully trained through Supportworks, the choice became clear.

The Repair Process

On July 16, the permit was secured, and installation confirmed. AFS’s crew arrived promptly and began with a strategic “hand dig” to expose the concrete footing. The team selected 5 push piers—steel cylinders driven next to the footing—owing to their superior depth reach and minimal disturbance. Each push pier featured the patent-pending external sleeve, ensuring strength at the critical tension point . After positioning the heavy-duty steel brackets, hydraulic jacks lifted the home back toward its original level, executing 5 lift procedures with precision. Soil was backfilled, leaving no trace of the trench, while the original downspout and corrugated flex-drain were secured neatly against the foundation wall. Throughout the process, AFS technicians maintained clear communication, explaining how each pier system was custom-designed for long-term corrosion resistance—whether in black or galvanized steel.

Transformation – The After

Within days, the difference was unmistakable. The ramp sat flush with the deck, doors slid open smoothly, and the once-noticeable ceiling cracks had stabilized. The foundation no longer creaked or shifted underfoot. Photographs taken before and after reveal the stark contrast: from a bed of pine needles and makeshift supports to a gleaming galvanized anchor plate bolted securely to the cleanly chipped concrete footing. The homeowners regained not only their peace of mind but also the full functional value of their living spaces.

The Power of Trust

This transformation highlights why acting early is crucial. Foundation issues are often invisible until they disrupt daily life—then they demand expert intervention. Arizona Foundation Solutions builds trust through its customer-first approach: free estimates across Phoenix, Tucson, Glendale, Flagstaff, and nearby areas; transparent diagnostics; and high-caliber Supportworks products. By choosing AFS, homeowners avoid the false economy of band-aid repairs and secure a permanent solution backed by robust warranties.

A Win for Everyone

Beyond restoring stability, the repair elevated the home’s curb appeal and market value. Neighbors remarked on the flawless concrete surfaces, and realtors noted the enhanced resale potential of a structurally sound property. Arizona Foundation Solutions continues this legacy of excellence, helping homeowners across Arizona protect their investments and avert costly future damage.

When cracks began to snake across the basement walls of Dave’s Flagstaff home, it wasn’t just unsightly—it was alarming. Floors that once lay flat now sloped imperceptibly, doors jammed in their frames, and a faint dip underfoot hinted at unseen damage. What started as a few hairline fractures soon morphed into wider gaps, leaving Dave worried about both safety and the value of his property. The stress of watching his home settle further each day reached a tipping point: action had to be taken before minor repairs turned into a major catastrophe.

The Search for a Solution

Like many homeowners facing foundation distress, Dave first researched do-it-yourself fixes and quick-patch contractors. Yet temporary concrete patches and surface-level sealants offered little reassurance—or permanence. He discovered that foundation settlement is a complex issue requiring specialized expertise and engineered products. Without the right approach, attempts to stabilize the slab could fail, even making the problem worse. Dave realized that only a foundation-focused professional with guaranteed methods could deliver the lasting security his home needed.

Why Arizona Foundation Solutions?

Dave’s search led him to Arizona Foundation Solutions, part of the international Supportworks network. A free inspection revealed the team’s customer-first values and deep technical know-how. During the evaluation, the professionals explained that “If your home shows signs of foundation settlement of any kind, Arizona Foundation Solutions can help,” offering a variety of warrantied foundation repair products—slab piers, push piers, and helical piers—custom-designed for every situation. Their transparent process, detailed on their website, won Dave’s trust: no jargon, just clear solutions and a 25-year manufacturer’s warranty backed by in-house performance guarantees.

The Repair Process

After pinpointing the areas of greatest concern, Arizona Foundation Solutions developed a bespoke plan for Dave’s property, combining multiple pier systems to tackle uneven settlement:

-6 Push Piers: Installed adjacent to the footings with heavy-duty steel brackets and a patent-pending external sleeve to permanently resolve settlement issues. These rugged steel push piers offered the “best opportunity to lift home to original position” with “minimal disturbance during installation.”

-1 Helical Pier: Fitted with helical plates welded to the shaft, this versatile pier pulled itself deep into stable soils, ready to “lift settled foundations back to original level” and stabilize lighter structures.

-3 I-Beams & Hand-Dig Pier Concrete Rings: Supporting the new piers with solid steel beams and hand-excavated concrete reinforcement rings ensured that each anchor reached load-bearing strata.

-7 Lift Procedures: Each pier jack assembly, comprising hydraulic rams, steel base plates, and threaded rods, was used to methodically raise the slab back to level.

-1 Locate & 1 Mobilization: Before work began, the crew conducted a thorough locate of utilities and site logistics, then mobilized equipment to the Flagstaff address, minimizing downtime and disruption for Dave.

Within days, trenches cut through the concrete—mirroring the “before” test patches—and foundation jacks were installed to precision. Soil was backfilled once leveling was complete, and a final sweep restored the basement floor to its original, sturdy form. Throughout, the team maintained clear communication, ensuring Dave understood each step.

Transformation – The After

Post-repair, Dave’s home showed a remarkable turnaround. Walls stood true without new cracks, floors evened out, and doors swung open effortlessly. The new foundation piers—available in both black steel and galvanized steel for long-term strength and corrosion resistance—instilled confidence that this solution was built to last. What once looked like an ominous drop in the slab became a distant memory, replaced by a stable, level foundation and renewed curb appeal.

Emotional Engine – The Power of Trust

By acting early and choosing Arizona Foundation Solutions’ proven foundation pier systems, Dave prevented minor cracks from escalating into structural failure. His story underscores a critical lesson: foundation issues are not cosmetic—and they rarely fix themselves. Trust is earned through expert diagnosis, high-quality workmanship, and unwavering warranties. For Dave, that trust translated into peace of mind and a home ready to weather Flagstaff’s seasonal shifts for decades to come.

New Era – A Win for Everyone

With the foundation secured, Dave’s investment in his home grew more than cosmetic value; it safeguarded his family’s safety and future resale potential. Arizona Foundation Solutions continues to offer its expertise across Arizona—whether for helical piers in challenging clay soils or push piers where depth is paramount—helping homeowners prevent costly damage before it starts.
