Concrete Repair & Foundation Repair in Phoenix, Arizona

A family in Phoenix, Arizona, had settlement issues in multiple areas of their home, including the patio and garage. The walls, ceiling, and floors had all cracked. To find a quick and efficient solution, they researched and found professional help. Our foundation inspectors recommended a second inspection by engineers, who analyzed topographic maps to create a tailored solution for the house's needs. Multiple piers were installed throughout the house to provide full foundation support. After a few days of hard work, all the piers were installed, making the foundation stronger than ever. The homeowners were satisfied and happy that their goals were met on time.

This family down in Phoenix, Arizona could not continue with their remodeling plans because the concrete slabs had cracks. After doing some research, the homeowners decided to look for help to repair the concrete slabs since it is less expensive than replacing it. When our concrete repair team got to the house. They bond back the pieces of the concrete slabs with carbon fiber laminates and a low viscosity liquid called polyurea which will fill every void space and unify all the concrete pieces. After a few hours, the concrete repair project was done and now the homeowners can go ahead and continue with their remodeling plans.

Expansive soil can turn into a serious problem for a house structure. Most Arizona homes in the valley got built over the clay, which is a high water retainer. The main problem with this type of soil is that it changes its volume based on how much water exposure it gets. This family, down in Phoenix, Arizona, noticed the floor began to crack along with the walls and even the ceiling. After doing some research, the homeowners decided to get an expert on the matter for a professional opinion. A foundation heave remediation got proposed, and the family accepted. Our foundation repair crew cut and dug a hole in the most affected area to insert a moisture sensor later in the process. PVC pipes get installed beneath the house's foundation to blow hot air and eventually evaporate the excess moisture, which was the one causing the foundation problem. Another crucial component of the system is the moisture vacuum because this is the one that pulls all the moisture particles out of the soil and drives them to the house exterior. Thanks to Arizona Foundation Solutions, this family will no longer have to worry about foundation heave problems ever again.

This family, down in Phoenix, Arizona, was facing foundation problems in many rooms of the house. After noticing the floor began to crack, and the same cracks spread to different areas of the room. The homeowners decided to reach for help. One of our inspectors went to the family home and completed a full analysis of the current foundation status. Our team took the results to the engineering department and came up with the most efficient solution for these homeowners. After Installing the system, the foundation heave issues disappeared, and the homeowners have peace of mind. Thanks to Arizona Foundation Solutions, this family will never encounter the same foundation problems ever again.

Situation: This family, down in Phoenix, AZ, was facing some issues with foundation settlement in their patio, which caused a tripping hazard. After some research, the homeowner noticed the problem could get fixed faster than expected. Once one of our AZFS inspectors got to the place, she knew exactly what was going on, and she offered the PolyLevel Serice to lift the concrete slab back to its original position.

Challenge: The major challenge in this concrete lifting project was to choose evenly each location where the foam material was going to get injected. The other important factor was to wait and listen to how the foam material was expanding to determine how much more material was needed to get injected into the concrete slab. Additionally, the team had to ensure that the injection points were not too close to each other to avoid any potential damage to the concrete slab.

Solution: Once each location got located, our concrete experts drilled holes and started injecting the foam material. After waiting up to 15 minutes for the material to fully expand, our team determined if more material needed to get injected. The concrete slab got successfully lifted, and the tripping hazard was gone sooner than expected.

Conclusion: Finally, they had to make sure that the concrete slab was properly levelled after the foam material had been injected. The customer was very pleased with the work and thanked our team for the quick and professional service. This was a great way to start the day and show that no job is too big or too small for our team.

Situation: This family, down in Phoenix, AZ, was facing some serious foundation issues all over the house's stem wall. The stem wall was cracking in all directions and needed repair as soon as possible. In some areas, the rebar got visible because most of the concrete in that area was gone.

Challenges: The main challenge was to determine what components could have been reused and which ones our crew needed to get rid of. We had to take into consideration the type of material used, the age of the component, and any other factors that may affect its viability for reuse.

Solution: The rusted stem wall components got removed along with the damaged concrete. Thanks to the AZFS service called NeveRust, the concrete expert team was able to replace all the components with anti-rust materials. The new components are also designed to better hold up against moisture and weathering. The team also replaced the damaged concrete with new concrete.

Conclusion: The stem wall got completely repaired, and the corrosion elements got removed. Thanks to AZFS, the stem wall will no longer produce corrosion, and the family will have peace of mind.

Benzene off-gassing vapors were discovered in a multi-family housing project in Phoenix, Arizona.  153 Duplexes are being renovated from military to private housing.  The benzene solvent was used by the Army at this location many years ago and polluted the soil.  The buildings are now pulling in benzene vapor above an acceptable level for residents. The environmental firm that is overseeing this project advised the general contractor to utilize a Radon Mitigation company to install Soil Vapor Extraction systems (radon mitigation systems) to safely remove the soil vapor.  That is when the National Radon Defense dealer Arizona Foundation Solutions got involved.

Bob Brown, Brent McIver, and Terry Henry from Arizona Foundation Solutions won this business due to their knowledge about this process they learned from National Radon Defense and their outstanding reputation.  Our network is actively doing projects similar to this across North America.  The General Contractor was very comfortable with a local company with national resources for this type of project.

In May, Arizona Foundation Solutions will begin installing Active Soil Vapor Depressurization systems to vent the harmful gas.  The process is very similar to installing a radon mitigation system.

Congratulations Bob, Brent, and Terry on that great job!

Mr. S. called us out to his historic district home made of brick because he was seeing significant cracks in the southwest corner of the home. We went out to his home to determine that we need to install 2 helical piers to stabilize and lift the southwest corner of his home. Here are some pictures of the work that was done!
