Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Mesa, Arizona, contacted us after noticing significant cracks and sinking in their garage floor. These issues not only detracted from the appearance of the space but also raised concerns about potential structural damage. After contacting Brianna, our Customer Care Representative, an appointment was quickly scheduled. Alex, our Design Specialist, conducted a thorough inspection of the garage and determined that the cracks were due to soil compression and washout beneath the slab, leading to both cracking and sinking of the concrete.

Alex explained that without proper intervention, the situation could worsen, allowing moisture to seep beneath the slab and further deteriorate the foundation of the garage. The homeowner agreed to move forward with a comprehensive repair solution that involved both lifting the sunken concrete and sealing the cracks.

Project Outcome:

The repair of the homeowner's garage floor in Mesa, Arizona, was successfully completed by our experienced team under the guidance of Foreman Anthony. The project began with the use of PolyLevel, an innovative foam injection technique that lifted and leveled the sunken concrete slab back to its original position. This method is quick, minimally invasive, and provides a stable, long-lasting foundation, restoring the garage floor to a safe and functional state.

Once the slab was leveled, the team prepared the cracks for sealing. They drilled and smoothed the cracks, inserting a non-absorbent backer rod filler to ensure a clean application. NexusPro, a silicone-based sealant, was then applied to the cracks and control joints. This high-performance sealant is specially designed to withstand extreme temperatures and resist UV rays, preventing issues like drying, cracking, and bubbling that are common with traditional urethane products.

Finally, the sealed areas were detailed with a thin layer of native sand, giving the garage floor a uniform, polished look. The entire process was completed efficiently, with the NexusPro curing in just 60 minutes, allowing the homeowner to resume use of their garage with minimal downtime.

NexusPro and PolyLevel Advantages:

PolyLevel: Provides quick and effective lifting of sunken concrete, restoring structural integrity.

NexusPro: Offers durable, long-lasting crack sealing that resists extreme temperatures and UV rays.

Combined, these solutions ensure a stable, aesthetically pleasing garage floor that is protected against future damage.

The homeowner was delighted with the results, noting the expertise and professionalism of Anthony’s crew. They now have peace of mind knowing their garage floor is secure, level, and protected from further damage, all thanks to the advanced NexusPro and PolyLevel solutions.

This home had a few areas with interior slab cracks.  We were able to crack stitch the area using a composite interlock method.

In Mesa, Arizona, a commercial building owner noticed several significant cracks forming along the concrete slab foundation. Concerned about the potential structural risks these cracks posed to the building’s integrity, the owner sought a durable and cost-effective solution. Melissa, the Design Specialist, conducted a thorough evaluation of the site and identified that the cracks were due to settlement issues. She recommended the Crack Stitching Repair method, utilizing advanced carbon fiber technology to address the problem efficiently.

Felix, the Foreman, was responsible for overseeing the project, ensuring that all necessary preparations and materials were in place. Nevaeh, the Customer Care Representative, managed the scheduling and maintained clear communication with the building owner, ensuring that the repair process was well-coordinated and met the owner’s needs.

After Project Description

The Crack Stitching Repair at the commercial building in Mesa, Arizona, was completed successfully under the supervision of Felix and his skilled team. The repair process involved making non-parallel cuts along the cracks, followed by the installation of high-strength carbon fiber laminates. These laminates were bonded using low-viscosity polyurethane, which provided superior reinforcement to the concrete slab. The final step was to grind the area smooth, restoring the foundation to its original condition and ensuring a professional finish.

Thanks to Melissa’s expert evaluation and the precise execution by Felix’s crew, the commercial building’s foundation is now reinforced, reducing the risk of future cracking and enhancing the overall structural stability. The repair was completed with minimal disruption to the business operations within the building, and at a fraction of the cost associated with traditional methods. Nevaeh followed up with the building owner to ensure complete satisfaction, highlighting Arizona Foundation Solutions' dedication to quality and customer service.

Where do stem wall concrete cracks form?

This is caused by chloride ion exchange in the moisture-laden pores of the concrete that facilitates the oxidization of the rebar. Once started, it's very difficult to stop with traditional means. Sealing the crack with epoxy will not stop the rebar from continuing to oxidize and expand. Additionally, for concrete stem wall restoration, Arizona Foundation Solutions does sump pump installation too in most areas of Arizona, including Mesa, Arizona!
