Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

This mid century, Tucson, Arizona home was experiencing signs of a foundation problem.  A Level B Foundation Investigation determined that Foundation Settlement was a the root of the problem.

The owners of this 1958 brick bungalow reached out to Arizona Foundation Solutions after noticing some perimeter cracks on this charming house.

A level B Foundation Investigating concluded the home was experiencing foundation settlement. Foundation settlement can be caused by one or any combination of many factors including sub-grade saturation of moisture due to poor drainage, years of storm runoff, plumbing leaks, improper compaction, the lack of a proper foundation system, and/or (in most cases) natural earth movement.

Mr. W. called in and was concerned about his driveway settling.  Our crew was able to go out to the home and use mudjacking technology to level out the driveway back to level.

Here you can see how big the crack was before we did the stitch and how you can't even tell the crack was there when we were done.

Composite interlocking can be performed to tie the broken pieces of the concrete together. The existing cracks will be cleaned and non-parallel lines will be cut across the existing cracks. Next carbon fiber laminate stitches will be inserted into the non-parallel cuts and then the gaps will be filled with a 2 part poly.

Finally, the crack should be ground smooth to minimize the differential. If done properly, this will allow the slab to function as one floating unit to help prevent the damages to flooring, ceiling and walls. If this is instead expansion joint separation, the joint should be cleaned, routed, and re-caulked with an expansive joint filler.
