Before & After Photos

This family down in Scottsdale, AZ, was struggling with oxidation problems in all over their house's stem wall. The stem wall had flaking paint, cracks, and even spalling concrete. Thanks to AZFS, this family can have peace of mind and stop worrying about corrosion threatening their stem wall.

Corrosion is one of the worst threats to a concrete stem wall. Generally, corrosion destroys the stem wall from the inside out until everything is falling apart. The homeowners noticed there was a problem with the stem wall when they saw flaking paint, concrete cracks, and even spalling concrete in many areas of the stem wall. After doing some research, the homeowner decided to move forward with Arizona Foundation Solutions for a professional opinion, and a long-lasting solution.

In Arizona, homeowners often face the challenge of cracked concrete in critical areas like garages and driveways. Over time, the concrete slabs in these areas can break and sink due to the underlying soil compressing or washing away. These cracks not only diminish the aesthetic appeal of the property but also allow moisture to penetrate beneath the slab, leading to further soil instability and potential structural issues.

Traditional repair methods, such as applying urethane caulk, are temporary and often inadequate, as they are prone to cracking, bubbling, and drying out over time. This necessitates frequent reapplications, causing ongoing maintenance concerns for homeowners.

In this particular case, a homeowner in Arizona was dealing with significant cracking in both the garage and driveway. The cracked slabs were a source of concern due to the potential for further damage and the unsightly appearance they presented. The homeowner sought a durable, long-lasting solution to address these issues and restore the integrity of their concrete surfaces.

After Project Description:

The cracked concrete in the garage and driveway of this Arizona home was effectively repaired using the advanced NexusPro solution. The project was led by Felix, the foreman, with Nevaeh coordinating customer care and scheduling, and Eli, the design specialist, conducting a detailed assessment of the problem.

NexusPro, a cutting-edge silicone-based sealant, was selected for its exceptional flexibility and resistance to the harsh weather conditions typical in Arizona. Unlike traditional polyurethane sealants, NexusPro’s UV resistance ensures it won't crack, bubble, or dry out over time, providing a more durable and long-lasting repair.

The repair process was efficiently executed, beginning with the careful preparation of the cracks in the garage and driveway. The cracks were drilled, smoothed, and filled with a non-absorbent backer rod. The NexusPro sealant was then applied, followed by a thin layer of native sand to blend the repair seamlessly with the surrounding concrete. In just 60 minutes, the NexusPro was fully cured, delivering immediate protection against further soil compaction and washout.

The homeowner was highly satisfied with the results, noting that the repaired concrete in both the garage and driveway not only looked significantly improved but was also protected against future cracking and sinking. Thanks to NexusPro, the homeowner now enjoys a restored and resilient concrete surface, ensuring the longevity and safety of these vital areas.

Foundation settlement is a common problem for homeowners throughout Arizona due to changing moisture conditions in the soil. As the ground expands and contracts over time, foundations can begin to shift, resulting in structural issues such as wall cracks, uneven floors, and settling concrete. Homeowners in Tucson, Arizona began experiencing these warning signs and contacted Arizona Foundation Solutions for a professional foundation evaluation.

After a detailed inspection and elevation survey, our team determined that the home required permanent stabilization to address the ongoing settlement. To restore support beneath the structure, we recommended a foundation underpinning solution using heavy-duty push piers and helical piles designed to transfer the weight of the home to deeper, stable load-bearing soils below the surface.

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

After the installation was complete, the team backfilled the excavated areas and restored the property. The homeowners immediately benefited from improved structural stability and the confidence that their Tucson home now has a long-term foundation repair solution designed to help prevent future settlement-related damage.

Did you know most of the air you breathe comes from your crawl space? Sometimes when your crawl space does not get encapsulated or regulated, humidity can even create mold or cause the crawl space to rot. Vented crawl spaces let hot air in the summer, which can hold more humidity than cold air, and the same when it is winter season. A non-capsulated crawl space can even make you pay more in your electricity bill in the summer and in the winter because the heat from the crawl space goes up and inside your house in the summer forcing the A/C to work more. This problem not only happens in the summer but also in the winter when vented crawl spaces let cold air in. Having an encapsulated crawl space not only saves you money in the long run but also improves the air you breathe, prevents the creation of mold, and makes a less liveable habitat for pests. Besides Crawl space encapsulation, concrete floor repair is one of our specialties since Arizona Foundation Solutions has the answer to your foundation problems all over Flagstaff, Arizona!
