Stabilizing a Sinking Porch in Show Low, AZ - Arizona Foundation Solutions Delivers a Fast, Long-Lasting Concrete Repair with PolyLevel®
In Show Low, AZ, a homeowner grew increasingly concerned as the front of their house began to sink, visibly affecting about 20 feet of their home’s foundation. Cracks appeared inside near the front window, stretched into ceiling corners, and left an obvious one-inch gap along the porch top. These changes weren’t just cosmetic—they were a clear sign that the underlying concrete had settled and that the structure was no longer level or secure. As winter set in, the issue became even more pressing, with water infiltration and further soil shifting posing real threats to the home’s safety and stability.
The Search for a Solution – When DIY and Patch Fixes Aren’t Enough
At first, the homeowner considered patching the cracks or using traditional sealants. But it quickly became clear that these cosmetic fixes wouldn’t solve the deeper issue. The problem was rooted beneath the surface, likely caused by weakened or unstable soil under the concrete slab. In their search for a long-term fix, they learned that traditional methods like mudjacking were heavy, hard to control, and could further burden already compromised soils. They needed a specialized solution—something powerful, proven, and permanent.
Why Arizona Foundation Solutions – The Right Experts for the Right Fix
After researching concrete and foundation repair specialists in Arizona, the homeowner contacted Arizona Foundation Solutions. What set them apart was their reputation for excellence and transparency, reinforced by a free on-site evaluation that clearly explained what was going wrong. The technician walked the property, identified the scope of the settlement, and confirmed that the damage stemmed from soil compression beneath the slab. Arizona Foundation Solutions recommended PolyLevel® Injection Foam—a cutting-edge repair method designed to lift, level, and stabilize settled concrete quickly and effectively without adding excessive weight to the soil.
The Repair Process – Using PolyLevel® to Lift, Level, and Lock in Stability
Arizona Foundation Solutions’ expert crew arrived with advanced injection equipment that required no heavy machinery or large-scale disruption. They drilled small, precise holes in the sinking concrete sections, including under the porch and near affected interior areas. Once the two-part PolyLevel® foam was injected beneath the slab, it rapidly expanded, filled existing voids, and gently lifted the slab back to its original level. The foam’s lightweight composition (just 4 pounds per cubic foot) ensured it wouldn’t add extra stress to the already compromised soil. Even better, it hardened quickly—within 30 minutes—so the home was back on solid footing the same day.
Transformation – From Sinking and Cracked to Safe and Solid
The results were immediate and dramatic. The porch gap closed, and the previously visible sinking at the front of the home was corrected. Cracks inside the house no longer spread, and the homeowner could see and feel the difference in stability. Doors that had shifted returned to proper alignment. The entire front foundation area, which once seemed dangerously unstable, was now level and sound—restored with precision and minimal intrusion.
Emotional Engine – Acting Early, Trusting the Right Team
